Being a Beebo tester β€” the short version

Google makes small developers prove their app works with real people before it can go on the Play Store. That is all this is. Here is exactly what you are signing up for, with nothing left vague.

What you need

What you actually do

  1. Send us your Gmail address. We add it to the test list on Google's side.
  2. Tap the opt-in link we email you. One tap. This is the moment your 14 days start.
  3. Install Beebo from the Play Store using that same link.
  4. Open it and have a look around. Tap β€œLook around without a server” on the first screen and the app opens properly β€” road-trip games, Campsite Mode, the star chart, the packing list, a sample video.
  5. Leave it installed for 14 days. This is the part that actually matters to Google.
  6. Tell us anything that annoyed you. Genuinely β€” the bugs are the point.
⚠️

The one rule that can undo it

Don't leave the test early. Google counts only testers who stay opted in for 14 days without a break. If you opt out and rejoin, your clock restarts at zero and we are back to waiting. Uninstalling the app is survivable; opting out is not.

Fair questions

Do I need to use it every day?

No. Google sets no daily requirement. But when we apply, Google asks us to describe which features testers used and how engaged they were β€” so opening it a handful of times over the fortnight genuinely helps, and dead installs genuinely don't.

Will I be able to watch movies?

Only if you have a Beebo server, because Beebo only ever plays video files that are already on somebody's own computer β€” it has no catalogue of its own. Without one you get everything else in the app, which is plenty to test. If you do have a spare Windows PC and fancy the full experience, tell us and we'll walk you through it.

Does it cost anything?

No. Nothing to pay, no card, and we will never charge a tester. Everyone who completes the 14 days gets Beebo free permanently.

What do you get from my account?

Your email address, so Google can add you to the test β€” nothing else. We can't see your phone, your files or anything else on your Google account, and we never post as you.

Can I stop?

Of course, any time β€” just tell us so we can find someone else. We'd rather know than be short at the end.
