Features
Mutual testing
Earn by testing, spend to get tested. A fair give-and-take between developers instead of one-sided favors.
Groups
Test in groups of 16. Complaint reports and daily screenshots keep participation honest.
One shared group
Testers join a single common Google Group once to receive every app's test build.
