Testing phase
Before we can publish the app on Google Play we have to run a closed test for 14 consecutive days. If you train apnea and own an Android, you can try it right now and help us get it ready.
From that date the closed test opens on Google Play and registered testers get the private link to install CAPNIA. Sign up before then and you are in from day one.
What happens that day
You give us the Gmail address you use on Google Play. That is the essential detail: Google only accepts Google accounts on the tester list.
We put your address into the closed test in Google Play Console and you get a private link. Without that step first, the link will not work for you.
Open the link on your Android, accept taking part, and CAPNIA installs from the official Play Store like any other app.
Google counts the days by itself, as long as the app stays installed and tied to your account. Train your CO₂, O₂, Apnea Walk or Pranayama tables and tell us what breaks.
Every feature unlocked, and new ones before anyone else.
Your suggestions reach the person writing the code, with no support forms in between.
Your name or handle will appear in the app as a Founding Tester.
Fill this in and we will add you to the Google Play Console list.
No. Google keeps count on its own: the console shows active testers and consecutive days accumulated. All you have to do is leave the app installed. Any feedback you want to send us is welcome, but optional.
Better not. The counter measures consecutive days with the app installed and the account attached. If you remove it, the count suffers and publication is delayed for everyone.
Because the Google Play Console tester list only accepts Google accounts. If your usual address is not Gmail, give us the one you sign in to the Play Store with.
We request the move to production, Google reviews the request — usually 24 to 72 hours — and if all goes well CAPNIA is published for everyone. We will let you know.
