Friends and random pools install once, reply «done», and disappear before day 14.
Mutual Android testing · SDK proof · On Google Play
Dozenflow is a reciprocal testing network for Play closed tests. Swap builds with other Android developers — and prove real opens with the Closed Test SDK in anyapp, not screenshots in chat.
Built for Google Play closed & internal testing · SDK on Maven Central · Complements Play Console
The problem
You need reciprocal testers and proof they actually use your build — Play Console alone often tells you too late.
Friends and random pools install once, reply «done», and disappear before day 14.
Screenshots and «I tested» messages do not show sustained opens across the closed-test window.
Console updates in batches. A weak UTC day can break momentum before you notice.
The fix
Exchange testing with developers who need the same thing you do. The SDK in your APK reports sessions — Dozenflow shows who fulfilled today.
You test their anyapp; they test yours. Invites are accepted on both sides — no silent auto-enroll into strangers' tests.
Closed Test SDK sends session signals from the build testers install. Organizers see roster slots, Stats, and 12×14 progress.
Google Group join URL and Play invite link live on the test card — reciprocal testers know exactly how to join your track.
Not a paid catalog of «300 testers for $». A trusted network with proof — recommendations over a blind warehouse.
How it works
Maven dependency + init with owner email, Google Group URL, and Play invite link.
SDK guide →Organizer app on Google Play — manage tests, Stats, reminders, and mutual invites.
Google Play →First SDK init creates the test card on the server — required before Connections work.
Set Connections, swap reciprocal tests as the network opens, watch real opens in Stats.

Not vanity metrics — signals that tell you whether today's closed-test day is on track.

Why switch
Two pieces
Tests, Stats, Connections, reminders, mutual network — on your phone.
Install: Google Play
One Maven line in the APK testers install. Init with email + Group + invite — proof starts on first open.
Integrate: SDK guide
anyapp ≠ Dozenflow. Testers do not need the organizer app for basic SDK telemetry.
Built for
Add the SDK, install Dozenflow, open your build once — then swap tests with developers who show up.
