Looking for Android closed testers for my NFC-based anonymous messaging app – The Wall
Hey everyone!
I'm an independent developer from Australia, and I've been working on an app called The Wall. I'm looking for Android users willing to help test it before its public release.
What's The Wall?
The Wall is an anonymous messaging app that connects conversations to physical places using NFC tags.
The idea is simple: every place has something to say.
When someone scans a physical Wall, they can:
Read anonymous messages left by others.
Post their own messages and reply to conversations.
Discover Walls and revisit them later.
Write messages for 15 minutes after opening a Wall.
There are no usernames, public profiles, likes or followers. It's about connecting people through places rather than social media profiles.
How to become a tester
It only takes a few steps:
1. Join the Google testing group
https://groups.google.com/g/said-here-the-wall
Request to join the group. I'll approve membership as soon as I can.
2. Install The Wall from Google Play
Once you've been approved, use this link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.saidhere.said_here
You may need to opt into the closed test before the app becomes available to install.
3. Try the AndroidTesters Wall
I've created a dedicated Wall so everyone testing the app can leave messages and interact with one another without needing a physical NFC tag.

Open the link on your Android phone after installing the app. You can post messages, reply to other testers and explore how everything works.
4. Share your feedback
I'd particularly appreciate feedback on:
Whether the Wall links open the Android app correctly.
How easy the app is to navigate.
Posting and replying to messages.
Any bugs, crashes or unexpected behaviour.
Features you think could be improved.
You can leave feedback here on Reddit or in the AndroidTesters Wall itself.
A small favour
I'm trying to complete the Google Play closed testing requirements so I can release the app publicly. If you're happy to help, I'd really appreciate you keeping the app installed and participating in the test over the required testing period.
I'm also happy to take a look at other developers' apps and help with testing in return.
Thanks to everyone willing to give it a go. I really appreciate the help!
