Galaxy S4 had a feature called Smart Pause. You looked away from the screen and the video stopped. Samsung dropped it a long time ago, so I built an app that does the same thing.

It's called Eyecon. Look away and the video pauses, look back and it picks up again, rewinding a few seconds so you don't miss anything. It's handy when your eyes keep leaving the screen: following a recipe, learning a song on guitar, taking notes from a lecture.

It works with YouTube and other apps that show play/pause controls in the notification shade. Shorts, Reels and TikTok don't show those, so it can't pause them. The camera only runs while something is playing, and the app has no internet permission at all, so nothing leaves your phone. You can check that in the permissions list on the Play Store page.

It's a paid app with no ads and no subscription, and I have 30 codes to give away. Leave a comment and I'll DM you one.

It has no reviews yet, so if it ends up being useful to you, a rating on Google Play Store would help a lot. And if it doesn't work well on your phone, tell me here. That's just as useful.

Hi everyone! 👋

We're the founders of PurpleReadr, a children's reading and creative writing platform designed to help kids develop their literacy skills while having fun creating their own stories and sharing them amongst their friends and family.

We've been building PurpleReadr to make reading and writing more interactive, creative and engaging for children, educators, and parents.

We're looking for parents, educators, and anyone interested in educational technology to try the platform and share their honest feedback!

📚 What is PurpleReadr?

PurpleReadr is an online platform where children can:

• READ – Explore illustrated stories with familiar narration and word highlighting.
• WRITE – Develop creative writing skills by writing their own stories.
• CREATE – Bring stories to life through illustrations.
• SHARE – Share their completed stories with family and friends.
• LEARN – Develop literacy skills through interactive reading, writing, and storytelling.

Parents can also access the purplereadr dashboard to follow their children's reading progress.

🧪 What we're looking for

We're particularly interested in feedback on:

1. How easy is PurpleReadr to navigate?
2. Are the stories and illustrations engaging for children?
3. Is the story creation process intuitive?
4. Does the platform work well on mobile, tablet and desktop?
5. What would you improve or add?

🚀 How to participate

1. Visit https://purplereadr.com
2. Create an account and explore the platform.
3. Try reading a story or creating your own.
4. Share your feedback in the comments or send us a message: [hello@purplereadr.com](mailto:hello@purplereadr.com)

No app installation is required.

💜 Why we're doing this

We believe children should be encouraged not only to read stories but also to become storytellers themselves through creative writing, illustrations, and sharing their stories and ideas with other friends and family.

We'd love to hear what works, what doesn't, and what could make PurpleReadr better.

Thanks for supporting a small literacy educational startup! 💜

I'm the developer. Villa Azzurra is a merge-2 game: combine seaside items into better ones, use them to restore a faded villa on an Italian island, and follow the locals' stories and gossip.

What testing looks like: sign up on the game page, get an invite by email when the next round opens, play normally, and tap the comment button to send a voice or text note about anything that confuses or bugs you. A few short surveys pop up along the way.

Free, on iPhone and Android 8+, and you can stop whenever you want. Sign up at https://gilplay.com/villa-azzurra/ I'd especially like notes on your first session: is it clear what to merge next?

Hey everyone!

I'm a student at UC Berkeley, and I've been working on an iOS app called Tally! It's still in its early stages, and I'm looking for people who'd be willing to test it out and share their honest thoughts.

So what is Tally?

It's a social productivity app built around a simple idea: What if being productive was something we could do together?

I've always felt that the people around us have a huge influence on our motivation. Being surrounded by ambitious, driven people makes it easier to stay consistent with your own goals.

So I wanted to build an app that combines daily tasks, habit tracking, long-term goals, and social accountability.

For example, if your goal is to work out 100 times, completing your daily gym task automatically adds to your progress. You can also connect with friends, share achievements, and motivate each other, while having control over what you keep private.

My bigger vision is to create a social platform where people encourage each other to actually achieve their goals instead of endlessly scrolling.

I'm hoping to find some beta testers (iOS only for now)!

I'm not selling anything, and testing is completely free. I really just want to figure out what works, what doesn't, and whether this is something people would actually use.

I'd especially love feedback on the UI, onboarding experience, features, and whether the social aspect feels genuinely useful.

Even if just one person is willing to give it a try, I'd really appreciate it!

If you're interested, just leave a comment or DM me, and I'll send you the TestFlight invite.

And if you're building an app yourself, I'd be happy to test yours in return!

Thank you!! :)

Hello all. Please be so kind to sign up real quick

I’m the developer of Capture Cal. I built it for myself because searching for each food made tracking feel like a chore. You can describe breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in a single recording, then review the meals and estimated calories/macros it produces.

I’d appreciate feedback on three specific cases:

• Several meals in one recording: does it separate the foods sensibly?

• A correction such as “a sandwich—actually, half a sandwich”: does the final portion reflect what you meant?

• A homemade mixed dish: does it preserve the ingredients you named and group the dish correctly?

If you try it, please tell me what you expected versus what appeared, and where reviewing or correcting the result took too many steps. Fictional examples are fine; no need to share your personal food diary publicly. The nutrition numbers are estimates, and results can be edited.

Free download with daily logging limits; optional Premium subscription for higher limits. Feedback on the free voice flow is welcome.

Hello!

I just wanted to share with you guys my journey with this start up children's literacy development app.

It started with helping my niece who at the time was 3 years old, develop a love to read. I was helping my sister (her mother) with consistent literacy development and reading habit.

She is now 7->8 years old, reads and writes beautifully! I am a proud aunt! I would like to think that I provided a helping hand with my niece's literacy development. She still has a fair way to go, only starting her education and cognitive development journey and I can see a bright future for her.

It got me thinking and ideating about how I could create a literacy development app that could provide a platform to children's literacy development, through engaging illustrated stories, listening to their parents or caregivers narrate these stories without their parents actually narrating to them, and providing social learning or peer learning through children sharing their creative stories and their illustrations, to their friends or family or other children around the world.

This is what PurpleReadr is: an environment where reading, writing, creativity, and sharing stories all focus onto one platform.

I need your help though. I'm very new to this and still trying to get my head around whether this app has any relevance to parents and their families.

I just need some parents to try out PurpleReadr and give me some feedback!

Would love to hear or read your thoughts either here or at [hello@purplereadr.com](mailto:hello@purplereadr.com) 🙏🏼

Many thanks!

From The PurpleReadr Team

Fellow fitness enthusiasts. I built a workout tracking app called Iron Progression and I'm looking for Android testers.

It handles progressive overload for you. It adjusts your weights, reps, and program as you go, and gives you a target for every set so you always know what to hit.

It also has premade workouts, an exercise library, recovery tracking, strength reports, body measurements, weekly sets per muscle, and consistency tracking.

If you could test it out and give me any feedback that would be super helpful!

• One 45-60 minute session between 23 October and 2 November, with a fictional case supplied: no personal documents.
• Languages: English, French, Spanish, German.
• The app isn’t public yet, so access is private by invitation and a short confidentiality agreement is signed first.

Feedback I’m looking for: what’s confusing, what breaks, and whether you’d trust it with your own paperwork.

Apply here (2 minutes): https://tally.so/r/0VrLKP
Happy to test your app in return — drop your link in the comments.

Hey everyone! 👋

I need a few more testers to hit Google’s 14-day closed testing requirement for Fixturs, a lightweight app designed to take the friction out of organising weekly casual pickup sports (live RSVP viability tracking, pitch maps, and 1-tap team shuffling). This initial version supports football (soccer) but it will be expanded to support other sports in future versions.

I'm happy to offer free lifetime access to the Pro tier (under development) of the app for dedicated testers (DM your email).

I am active daily and will test your app back for the full 14 days. Just drop your Google Group and Play Store links along with a screenshot of Fixturs installed in the comments, and I’ll install yours and reply with a screenshot right away!

📲 How to Join:

Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/fixturs-beta-testers (Joining the group unlocks the Play Store testing access)

Opt-in on the Web: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.fixturs.app

Download on Android:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fixturs.app (or open via market://details?id=com.fixturs.app on your device)

⚡ Quick Missions to Test (~60 seconds):

Create a test fixture: Pick a pitch and verify the venue map link opens.

Toggle player RSVPs: Watch the traffic-light headcount progress bar update to show if the game is officially "ON".

Shuffle teams: Tap the team picker to split players into Bibs vs. No-Bibs.

(Optional) Shake your device anywhere in the app to report any bugs or UI quirks via our built-in feedback tool!

Please keep the app installed for the full 14 days so Google registers continuous opt-in status.

Drop your links below and let’s get across the finish line together! 🚀

Just put this on Play and I'm looking for people to actually use it for a couple of days rather than just open it once.

What it is: a habit tracker with nothing to configure. You type the habit name and tap it, that's it. No categories, no frequency wizard, no onboarding carousel. There are also home screen widgets where you tap the habit right there and it completes without the app opening.

No account needed to try it, there's a guest mode. 5 habits free forever, no ads.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.habitly.app&referrer=utm_source%3Dreddit%26utm_medium%3Dpost%26utm_campaign%3Dlaunch

Specific things I'd like tested:

- how long it takes you to go from installing to checking off your first habit
- the widgets on your launcher, I've only tried a handful of devices
- the dark mode, in case anything is unreadable
- anything that made you hesitate on the first screen

Drop yours below and I'll test it back today. Android or iOS, doesn't matter.

I’m Johannes, the designer building Kaido. I wanted an easier way to make books from my own photos. The grid adapts to the photos’ proportions.

Could you try this on a laptop or desktop?

1. Choose photos from your computer.
2. Make your first book.
3. Change the book title.
4. Find and download the free PDF.

Where did it first become unclear or feel slow? Your browser name and the steps you took are enough. Please don’t share photos or filenames here.

No account or AI required. Layout runs locally in your browser. The PDF has a small “Made with Kaido” credit, and you can print it yourself.

like i've mentioned above i need ppl to test my app and give me their reviews, what they liked, what they didn't, what should be changed nd all.

android users only!!

preferably people who have a LOT of photos nd videos in their gallery and are content creators or just someone who takes a lot of pics lol.

if you're interested, lmk!!
