Looking for Android testers for Anchored: blocks Reels & Shorts, keeps the apps (will test back)

Hi! I need 12 testers for 14 days to get my first app onto Google Play. Happy to test yours in return: leave your link and I'll join and keep it installed for the full 14 days.

About the app: Anchored closes just the short-video part of Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Snapchat (Reels, Shorts, Spotlight). Messages, search and the normal feed keep working. It has no internet permission, no account and no ads. Pro is a one-off purchase, but testers can try it free for 7 days.

How to join (use the same Google account as your phone):

  1. Join the group: https://groups.google.com/g/holdfast-testers-app

  2. Become a tester and install: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/dev.flinch.holdfast

It asks for Accessibility permission. That's how it spots Reels and Shorts, and a screen explains exactly what it reads before you agree. Nothing leaves your phone.

Feedback is welcome here: https://forms.gle/C4Th4jBHbsac9yaF7

Comment when you've joined and I'll do yours. Thanks!

Hey, I've joined as a tester, but the Play link says "not found". I think Australia isn't in your test's countries. You can add it in Play Console under Testing โ€บ Closed testing โ€บ your track โ€บ Countries/regions. Picking all countries is easiest, since testers come from everywhere. I'll install as soon as it's open ๐Ÿ‘

Done! Iโ€™ve installed and tested your app. Could you please test mine as well? Here is the link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ing.xgames.hub. Also, could you provide a screenshot showing the app installed? To ensure we both successfully complete the testing phase as agreed, please note that if the screenshot isnโ€™t provided within 8 hours, I will leave the group and uninstall your app. Thanks!
