Want to help test the app?
Live on the iOS App Store, and on Android via Google Play closed testing. iOS is one tap. Android is two — both required, in order, because of Google’s new-developer rules. The steps below walk you through it.
iOS — one tap
Install on the App StoreiPhone or iPadAndroid — two taps, in order
Both steps are required. Joining the group does not install the app — it only puts you on Google’s tester allowlist. You then tap a separate Play Store link to install. If you stop after Step 1, the app will not appear on your phone.
On your Android phone, tap the button below and sign in with the same Google account you use on the Play Store. Tap Join group. You won’t get any emails — the group exists purely so Google knows you’re allowed to install.
Open the testers group →Step 1 · won’t install the app on its ownAfter Step 1, tap the button below on the same phone, signed in to the same Google account. Tap Become a tester, then tap Download the app on Google Play and install normally. From then on the app updates through the Play Store like any other app.
Open the Play Store install page →Step 2 · this is what installs the appStep 2 says I’m not a tester
Google’s tester allowlist can take a minute or two to update after you join the group. Wait 60 seconds, then reopen the Step 2 link. If it still says you’re not a tester after a couple of minutes, email bibletour@askadam.cloud with the Gmail address you used to join the group and I’ll add you to the allowlist directly.
Why two steps?
Google requires new developer accounts to run a closed test for a while before the app can be published openly. Closed testing only lets allowlisted Google accounts install — and the group is how that allowlist is maintained. As soon as Google flips the app to production, the two-step disappears and Android will be one tap like iOS.
What am I actually testing?
Just use the app. Read a few verses. Try the audio. Tap a Hebrew or Greek word in Originals mode. Tick a book off. Then tell me anything that looked wrong, felt clunky, or surprised you. Specifically helpful:
- Verses that render incorrectly (wrong text, missing punctuation, weird formatting)
- Audio that won’t play, cuts out, or plays through the wrong speaker
- Anything that crashes the app — even once
- Anything that looks ugly or confusing
- Anything you’d expect to be there that isn’t
How to send feedback
Easiest path: open the app’s Settings tab and tap Send feedback. That opens an email with your platform info pre-filled, so I know which device the report is from. Or email bibletour@askadam.cloud directly with whatever’s on your mind.
