TestCircle: Closed Testing

TestCircle helps independent Android developers satisfy Google Play's closed testing requirement of 12 testers for 14 days — one of the most common barriers to getting production access on the Play Store.

Join a group of developers and test each other's apps through a structured closed testing cycle. Each cycle runs across 5 feedback phases over 14 days, comprising first impressions, a quick test, core features, a second quick test, and final feedback. At the end of the closed testing window, you'll receive an AI-generated summary of all the feedback your app received.

Built on true mutual commitment, TestCircle solves the problem of inactive testers during your closed testing phase. By matching you directly with other active developers, we ensure a reliable, two-way testing exchange where everyone has a shared stake in following through to help you get 12 testers who actually participate.

How it works:
• Submit your app and join an active closed testing group on the platform.
• Get automatically matched with other developers committed to the full 14 days of testing.
• Install and test the apps in your group.
• Share structured feedback across 5 simple phases as you test.
• Receive detailed feedback from other testers and an AI-generated summary for your own app.
• Apply for production access in the Play Console, using your feedback report to easily complete the Google questionnaire.

If you successfully get production access after your testing cycle, we will feature your app for free in the TestCircle "Featured Apps" section!

TestCircle is designed to be developer-friendly:
• No ads, no subscriptions, and no sign-up fees.
• Synchronized 14 days of group testing is completely free.
• Our Single Tests feature, which is complementary to synchronized Group Testing, is also free—test other apps to earn credits, then spend those credits to add your own app to the testing list.
• Paid upgrades for boosting your app's visibility are entirely optional and apply only to the Single Tests.

If you're an indie developer stuck behind Google Play's 12-tester requirement, TestCircle is the structured, test-for-test solution built specifically to help you unlock production access.

Come join a growing community of serious developers willing to help each other out and make the 12-tester 14-day Closed Testing a smooth, easy experience!
