Closed testing
Dirty South’s App LabHelp test our apps
These Android apps are in Google Play closed testing. The steps are the same for every app — pick one below and follow them in order.
How testing works
Use the same Google account that is signed in on your phone’s Play Store for every step.
2
Become a tester
Open the official Google Play opt-in page and tap Become a tester.
3
Install from Play
Wait a few minutes, then install the app from its Play Store link. The store page stays hidden until you have opted in.
4
Keep it installed for 14 days
Stay opted in, keep the app installed, and open it a few times during the 14-day closed test.
Google Play requires at least 12 testers to stay opted in for 14 consecutive days before a new personal developer account can apply for production. Uninstalling or leaving early can reset that clock.
Apps you can test
Each card has the three links you need for steps 1–3. Found a bug or have an idea? Use Send feedback on the card or in the menu.
Test-for-test
If you found this from a Reddit or Discord tester thread, post your own opt-in link in that same thread after you join, opt in, and install. Dreke will test your app back.
There’s no account to create here. Just leave your link on the thread where you found this, and keep both apps installed for 14 days. To report a bug or share an idea, use the feedback form below.

FAQ
Why 14 days?
Google Play requires at least 12 testers to stay opted in for 14 consecutive days before a new personal developer account can apply for production. Uninstalling or leaving the test early can reset that clock.
The Play Store link says “App not found.” What now?
That’s normal until you join the tester group and tap Become a tester. Google only shows the store page to people who have opted in. If you already opted in, make sure you’re signed into the same Google account on this page and in the Play Store, wait a few minutes, then try the Install link again.
Which Google account should I use?
Use the same Google account for the Google Group, the Become a tester page, and the Play Store on your phone. A different account is the most common reason the install page doesn’t appear.
How do I leave a test?
Open the same Become a tester page for that app and choose to leave the test. You can also uninstall the app, and leave the Google Group if you want. Leaving early can reset the 14-day tester clock for that app.
Is it free?
Yes. Joining a closed test and installing the app is free.
What phone do I need?
Android only, through Google Play. These tests aren’t available on iPhone.
What data does this page collect?
This page doesn’t collect anything unless you send the feedback form. The form asks which app you mean, a description, and optionally your email, device, and app version so we can follow up. Submissions go to our support inbox and a private bug list. We don’t sell this information. Each app also has its own privacy policy, linked on its card and in the footer.
