TestFlock - 12 Testers 14 Days

ARTech Software

About this app

TestFlock helps Android indie app developers find testers, organize closed testing, and automatically track daily app usage with fellow developers.

If you need 12+ testers for your Android closed test, TestFlock helps you build a stronger testing circle through 16-developer Flocks, 16-day guided progress, automatic check-ins, 30-second daily usage verification, feedback, and 1:1 backup FlyMates.

ANDROID CLOSED TESTING MADE EASIER

Finding reliable Android app testers can be difficult for solo developers, indie developers, students, startup founders, and small app teams. TestFlock makes the process easier by helping developers test each other’s apps in an organized community.

No manual screenshot uploads. No messy spreadsheets. No scattered proof collection.

TestFlock automatically checks whether testers have installed and used apps for at least 30 seconds each day during the 16-day testing period, using Android usage access permission.

JOIN 16-DEVELOPER FLOCKS

A Flock is a group of Android developers who test each other’s apps. Each Flock supports up to 16 developers, giving your app a larger testing group and a helpful buffer above the 12+ tester goal.

In a Flock, you can:

• List your Android app
• Join a developer testing group
• Test apps from fellow developers
• Get automatic daily check-ins
• Track app usage verification
• Receive feedback
• Support your closed testing goal

16-DAY GUIDED PROGRESS

TestFlock uses a 16-day guided progress window to help support your 14-day Android closed testing goal.

The extra buffer helps reduce stress if some testers are delayed, inactive, or need more time. There are no harsh flock dropouts, no lost progress, and no unnecessary penalties.

AUTOMATIC DAILY CHECK-INS

TestFlock makes check-ins simple. Instead of asking users to manually upload screenshot proof, TestFlock automatically verifies whether an app was installed and used for at least 30 seconds that day.

This helps developers quickly see who has completed daily app usage and which apps still need attention.

ADD BACKUP FLYMATES

FlyMates are 1:1 testing partners outside your main Flock. Use FlyMates to get extra testers, additional feedback, and backup support for your app.

With FlyMates, you can build a stronger testing circle and reduce the risk of depending only on one group.

GET USEFUL APP FEEDBACK

TestFlock is not only for usage verification. It also helps you improve your app before launch.

Other developers can share feedback about bugs, crashes, confusing screens, login issues, broken buttons, layout problems, performance issues, usability, and feature improvements.

You can also give helpful feedback to other developers and earn recognition.

What’s new

Removed the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission. Install and usage verification for known testing apps now uses Android Usage Access and targeted package launch for package names from Play Store testing links. No broad visibility into installed apps on the device.
