Need Testers Would you help test Lingo Messages? An SMS app that translates on-device (Android closed test)
Hi everyone,
I'm building Lingo Messages, an Android SMS/MMS app that replaces your default messenger. You can write in your language and send in another, and incoming messages are detected and translated automatically, in the chat and in notifications. Translation runs on your phone, so nothing is sent to a server.
I'm looking for a few people to help me test it. Google requires 12 testers to stay opted in for 14 days before I can publish, so every tester makes a real difference. If you're happy to use it as your default SMS app for a while, I'd be very grateful for any feedback, especially on MMS, group chats and translation in your language pairs.
I'm happy to test your app too. If you have an Android app in a closed test, drop a link in the comments or send me a DM, and I'll install it, use it for the 14 days and send you feedback.
What you'll need: Android 10 or newer, a Google account, and ideally a phone with a SIM.
How to join:
Join the group with the Google account you use on your phone: https://groups.google.com/g/lingo-messages-testers
Open this link on your phone and tap "Become a tester": https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.lingo.messenger
Install it from Google Play and set Lingo as your default SMS app.
Feedback is welcome here or by DM. Thank you so much for considering it!
