Find testers by testing for others.
Google Play asks new personal developer accounts to run a closed test with at least 12 testers for 14 days before an app can be published to production. Finding those testers is hard when you are building on your own.
TestCircle brings indie developers together to solve it. You join a testing group that tests in sync: everyone installs each other's apps and works through the same phases together. Throughout the cycle, everyone shares structured feedback, so you finish with real testers and useful insight into your app.
Single Tests complement your group and can boost your app's visibility: test other developers' apps to earn credits, then spend them to post your own app and get feedback from additional users beyond your testing group.
From sign-up to feedback summary.

Testing groups
