🛑 STOP AND READ FIRST:
We need your email address to add you to the list. Please provide that First!!!!
What type of phone do you have? Android or Apple?
I have an Android! Perfect. Keep reading and choose your path below.
We need your email to add it to our Test Group
I have an Apple! ? Stop reading. This is NOT set up for Apple yet. Do not proceed.
📱 PATH A: You are ON YOUR PHONE
STEP 1: BECOME A TESTER
Tap this exact link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.patchworkangelstm.patchworkangelstm
Find the button that says Become a tester or Join the program and tap it.
CRITICAL: Do not move on until you see the exact words “YOU ARE A TESTER.”If you do not see those words, you are not finished.
STEP 2: INSTALL PATCHWORK ANGELS
Tap this exact link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.patchworkangelstm.patchworkangelstm
Tap Install.
Wait for it to finish.
Tap Open.
💻 PATH B: You are ON A COMPUTER
STEP 1: BECOME A TESTER
Click this exact link:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.patchworkangelstm.patchworkangelstm
Find the button that says Become a tester or Join the program and click it.
CRITICAL: Do not move on until you see the exact words “YOU ARE A TESTER.”
STEP 2: SEND PATCHWORK ANGELS TO YOUR PHONE
On that same page, click Download it on Google Play.
Click Install.
If Google asks which device to use, choose your Android phone.
Check your phone and open Patchwork Angels after it installs.
⏰ STEP 3: DO NOT LEAVE FOR 14 DAYS
This applies to everyone.
Google requires us to have at least 12 testers stay enrolled for 14 full days before we can apply to launch Patchwork Angels publicly.
DO NOT click Leave the program.
DO NOT opt out of testing.
Keep Patchwork Angels on your phone.
Stay enrolled for the full 14 days.
🧪 STEP 4: USE THE APP AND REPORT PROBLEMS
Once we get 12 testers - the clock begins!
Over the next two weeks, please open Patchwork Angels and actually try it.
Tap buttons. Open pages. Try the features. Create an account. Use every feature
available. Test it all out!
If something does not work, or you have feedback, fill out this form:
Tell us exactly what you were doing when the problem happened.
Example:
“I tapped Guided Prayer, then tapped Play, and no sound came out.”
That is much more helpful than: “It doesn’t work.”
🆘 IF YOU GET COMPLETELY STUCK
STOP.
Do not guess.
Do not change settings.
Do not delete anything.
Take a screenshot of exactly what you see.
Send the screenshots via the Feedback form and wait for instructions.
This is the version I would lock before we move on to the visual.
Staying enrolled for the full test period is a small but important commitment. What would help beta testers remain engaged and remember to open the app regularly during the 14 days?
Specific feedback helps builders reproduce and fix a problem. What detail do you find easiest to forget when reporting an app issue: the screen, the button tapped, what you expected, what happened, or a screenshot?
Android testers are being asked to use every feature rather than simply install the app. Which area should receive the most careful testing first—account setup, crisis resources, prayer audio, journaling, navigation, or accessibility?
