Controlled Android closed beta
AcreTrace beta testing
We are looking for a small group of adult Android users who can test real workflows safely, remain enrolled for the full test period and give honest feedback before public release. Internal testing is active; the next group will contain 15–18 closed testers.
Latest internal release · 0.13.0 (18) · 6 October 2026
Field Activities & Costing is ready for authorised internal testers. Public release is still pending.
Open the Google Play internal test using your approved Google account. This link does not enrol unapproved accounts or join the future closed test.
How it works
Application and testing process
Join through Google Play
If accepted, you receive a private closed-test opt-in link and an individual one-time promotion code for the planned £4.99 paid test release. The code removes the charge but does not replace opting in.
Test for 14 days
Install using the approved Google account, remain opted in for at least 14 consecutive days and try the practical field workflows.
Send useful feedback
Tell us what worked, what was confusing and what failed. Device details, clear steps and safe screenshots are especially helpful.
Who can take part
What you will need
- Be aged 18 or over.
- Use a non-rooted Android phone running Android 12 or newer.
- Have a Google or Google Workspace account signed in on that phone.
- Have safe, lawful access to an outdoor area with a clear view of the sky.
- Remain opted in for at least 14 consecutive days.
- Be willing to report both good outcomes and problems.
What to try
Suggested test activities
First use
The welcome tour, Guided or Standard mode choice and clarity of the next action.
Measurement
Known distances, travelled routes and safely accessible field boundaries.
Field records
Holdings, field names, exclusions, markers, notes and optional photographs.
Activities and costs
Start in UK mixed mode. Try a 15-acre activity at 100 kg/acre with a £420-per-tonne purchase price: expect 1,500 kg, £630 total and £42/acre before extras. Check acres in Imperial / US mode and hectares in Metric mode too. Try partial areas, bag prices and multiple products, then edit an activity and review the annual totals.
Activity history
Check that a later boundary change keeps an activity's treated area. Test backup and restore with disposable records, and check the confirmation before deleting an activity.
Outputs
PDF reports, KML mapping exports and combined holding exports.
Resilience
Offline use, backup and restore, and recovery after leaving a workflow.
