- Set up your tester group
- Ask questions that expose friction
Define one clear goal
Instead of asking “Is my app good?”, choose a task such as completing onboarding, finding an item or sending feedback. A narrow objective produces concrete answers.
Prepare your testing build
Use Google Play testing tracks as appropriate, ensure the app loads reliably, and publish accurate eligibility, test scope and privacy information.
Set up your tester group
In Google Play Console, open Closed testing → Testers, select Google Groups and add peertry-android-testers@googlegroups.com. Testers must join the group and separately opt in through the official Play test link.
Ask questions that expose friction
Try: “Where did you hesitate?”, “What did you expect this button to do?”, “Which step took longer than expected?”, and “What stopped you from completing the task?”
Prioritize fixes and retest
Classify feedback by severity, number of testers affected and ease of correction. Fix high-impact confusion first and then invite testers to confirm the improvement.
Frequently asked questions
Can PeerTry guarantee app installs or Play ratings?
No. PeerTry organizes private project feedback and cannot guarantee downloads, rankings or public review outcomes.
Should I reward 5-star ratings?
No. Do not condition points, access, rewards or favors on Google Play ratings or reviews.
Use private feedback to find what works and what needs another iteration.
