Can you help us bring MoveChat to Android?
MoveChat is brand new. Before we can publish it for everyone on Google Play, Google asks that at least 12 people test it for 14 days in a row. We need real people who actually use it and tell us what doesn't work. All you need is an Android phone and a Google account.
- Open the testers group
1. Join the testers group
Open the group with the Google account you use on your phone and tap "Join group". You won't get emails from the group: it only gives you access.
- Accept the test invitation
2. Accept the test invitation
After a few minutes open the invitation link, with the same account, and tap "Become a tester". From there, open MoveChat's page on Google Play and install it.
3. Keep it for 14 days and use it
Stay in the test and keep the app installed for at least 14 days. Open it now and then, try the things you would really use, and write to us when something breaks or is unclear.
What we ask in 14 days
- open the app at least 3-4 times a week, even for two minutes;
- complete your profile and post a real or test trip;
- look at Explore and, if you find someone, message them;
- invite a friend you travel with and try the chat between you;
- tell us at least one thing you didn't like.
We don't ask for reviews or ratings, and there is no reward: just your honest opinion.
Frequently asked questions
I can't see "Become a tester" or the app on Google Play.
Make sure you use the same Google account in the group, in the invitation and in the Play Store on your phone. It can take a few minutes after joining the group. If your phone has several accounts, pick the right one from the profile icon in the Play Store.
I installed MoveChat from the website with an APK file.
Uninstall it before installing the test version, otherwise Google Play can't install it. Chats already on that phone may no longer be readable, because the encryption keys live only on the device.
Which phone do I need?
An Android 7.0 or newer phone with Google Play. On iPhone you can use MoveChat on the web at movechat.app: the iPhone version will come later.
Can I leave the test?
Yes, whenever you want, from the same invitation page. We only ask you not to leave before 14 days: people who leave earlier are not counted. Afterwards, if the app is useful to you, keep it: you'll get updates as usual.
What data do you see about me?
The testers group shows your email address only to MoveChat's owner, and it is used only to give you access to the test. Inside the app the same privacy notice and rules apply as for everyone.
Is it a finished version?
It's the real app, with the real people who are on it today. In some areas there are only a few of us at first: that's why it matters so much that you invite people who travel your way.
Where to write to us
In the app: Help, then "Beta feedback". Or by email at support@movechat.app. We read every report ourselves, and we'll tell you what we changed.
Thank you. Every person who joins the test brings the launch closer for everyone.
