About & promises

Who we are

KADODE is run by AMATERAS, a small independent app studio in Japan. Our own Android apps are going through the same 12-tester, 14-day requirement right now; KADODE collects the guides and tools we wanted along the way.

KADODE is not affiliated with Google. Our guides are based on Google's public documentation but do not speak for Google.

Our approach

Google describes the requirement as a way to find issues and get feedback before launch, and the application asks whether testers actually used the app and what you changed in response. So rather than filling the count with strangers, KADODE helps you ask people who would really use your app: friends, family and your own audience. Some developers also use test-exchange communities or paid testers; our guides describe those options neutrally.

Promises

• We do not sell testers. We do not charge for test slots or take referral fees.
• We do not write your application answers.
• We cannot promise review results. Where Google's documentation is silent, we say so.
• We collect as little as possible. No accounts, no cookies, no analytics. See Privacy.

Tester page rules

• Only make pages for apps you develop.
• The buttons in the test steps only open Google Groups and Google Play (the test page and the Play Store). Pages also have share buttons (LINE, WhatsApp, Telegram, email) for sending the page on, and a link to contact us. Text fields are never shown as links.
• We may remove pages for apps that break the law or Google Play policy, or that mislead people. Report them via Contact.
