What its rules say about promotion
No Spam / "Engagement Farming"
We are here to test apps, not to watch you promote your telegram group, your "SEO services," or your unrelated YouTube channel. If your post looks like an ad or a copy-pasted bot message, it’s going straight to the shadow realm.
Respect the "Test for Test" Spirit
This is a collaborative ecosystem. The best way to get people to test your app is to spend a few minutes testing someone else's first. Karma moves fast here—be the developer you’d want to have testing your own app.
All 7 rules of r/AndroidAppTesters
- Be an App Crusher, Not a Lurker
This is a "give-and-take" community. If you want 12 testers, you better be out there testing others. Don't just drop your link and vanish into the space. - Official Store Links Only
To keep our devices (and our sanity) safe, we only allow links from verified distribution platforms (Google Play, App Store/TestFlight, Galaxy Store, etc.). Direct APK/IPA downloads are strictly prohibited. If it’s not behind a trusted store curtain, it doesn’t belong here. - No Spam / "Engagement Farming"
We are here to test apps, not to watch you promote your telegram group, your "SEO services," or your unrelated YouTube channel. If your post looks like an ad or a copy-pasted bot message, it’s going straight to the shadow realm. - Quality Feedback is King
"Nice app" is not feedback. If the UI is a mess on a 10-inch tablet, say it. If the onboarding is confusing, point it out. We’re here to help each other launch successful apps, not just any apps. Brutal honesty > Fake politeness. - Use the Correct Flairs
To keep the community organized and help other developers find your posts, please use the most relevant flair: [12 Testers Needed] for your recruitment phases. [Bug/Feedback] for technical or design critiques. [Daily Update] to track your 14-day progress. [Google Play] for Console-specific issues. [Question] for general doubts. - Keep the Community Clean
While we encourage you to share your progress as often as you like, please avoid "low-effort" duplicate posts. Instead of posting the same link every few hours, use the [Daily Update] flair to keep the community involved in your journey. High-quality updates get more testers! - Respect the "Test for Test" Spirit
This is a collaborative ecosystem. The best way to get people to test your app is to spend a few minutes testing someone else's first. Karma moves fast here—be the developer you’d want to have testing your own app.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
