App Tester: Beta Testing is a free GIXSOFT community for Android closed tests. Testers discover campaigns, install only from Google Play, complete day checklists, submit structured feedback and optional screenshot proof, earn non-cash points, and climb seasonal rankings. Developers save unlimited Play apps, run campaigns with tasks and locked point rewards, monitor tester activity, send campaign updates, and review proofs. No APK hosting, no paid testers, and points cannot be cashed out. Optional Premium removes ads and adds extra simultaneous campaign slots — it does not buy points, rank, or Play ratings.

FAQ
Common questions before you install.
Do I install APKs from the app?
No. Install and test only through Google Play closed testing. The app does not host APKs.
How do I start as a tester?
Sign in with Google, join the shared tester Google Group when asked, open a campaign, install from Play, finish the day checklist, and submit evidence for owner review.
Why isn’t the Play test link showing after I joined the Google Group?
Joining the group alone isn’t enough. The developer must also add that group under Play Console → Closed testing → Testers → Google Groups.
What do developers do?
Add a Play closed-testing URL (no APK), create a campaign with tasks, caps, and locked points, recruit testers, monitor activity, and review feedback and proof.
Are points money?
No. Points have no cash value. They can’t be withdrawn, sold, or used to buy Play ratings or reviews.
What appears on my public tester profile?
Tester #ID, coarse device class, reliability, and reputation — not email, phone, or Google account ID.
What is a day plan?
A multi-day schedule (D1–Dn) with unlock rules, tasks, form questions, and min/max proof images. Templates include closed test (2 days), first-run (1 day), and keep installed (3 days).
Can I invite private testers?
Yes. Developers share an invite code or link (WhatsApp, email, QR). Testers enter the code from Home (“Have an invite code?”).
