Twelve lifters unlock Android for everyone.
Google requires 12 testers opted in for 14 continuous days before IronLedger can be listed publicly on Google Play. Joining takes two minutes. Staying is what counts.

// TWO STEPS //
Join once, then opt in.
Both steps need the same Google account. Step two only works once step one is done, which is why they are shown in order rather than side by side.
Use the SAME Google account for both steps. This is the one thing that goes wrong.If the group and the Play Store are signed in to different accounts, Play will keep showing you the public listing and the test build will never appear.
Opt in on Google Play
After step 01Available once you are in the group. Play will not show the test build before then.
Open the Play opt-in// THE PART THAT COUNTS //
Joining is two minutes. Staying is the favour.
If the count drops below 12 at any point, the 14-day clock restarts for everyone. That is the whole reason this page exists.
- Stay opted in for the full 14 days, that is the requirement
- No minimum sessions, no feedback form, no survey
- Leave any time after the window closes, with your data exported
There is no cost, no subscription and no in-app purchase on either platform. Testing is the only thing being asked for.
// WHAT TO TEST //
Two flows that fail on a real gym floor.
01
Set logging under fatigue
Log a real working set between heavy attempts, with sweaty hands and a short rest clock. Two taps should still be two taps.
TAP TARGETS · TIMER DRIFT02
Keyboard flow across fields
Move from load to reps to effort to notes without the keyboard covering the field or losing what you typed.
FOCUS ORDER · NUMERIC PADA useful bug report has the device, the Android version, the app version, what you expected, what happened, and the shortest steps that reproduce it.
// DIRECT ANSWERS //
Questions before you opt in.
Why a Google Group?
It is how Google checks eligibility. A closed test is distributed to a list of accounts. Group membership is that list, so Play can confirm your account before it shows you the build.
Which account should I use?
The Google account you use on your phone's Play Store. Join the group with that account, then opt in signed in as that same account. Mismatched accounts are the single most common failure.
How long does access take?
Usually a few minutes. If Play still shows the public listing, wait a little, reload the store page, and check which account you are signed in as.
How long should I stay?
At least the full 14 days of the window. The count has to hold at 12 or above for 14 continuous days. If it drops, the clock restarts for everyone, so leaving early costs the whole group two weeks.
What should I test?
Log real sessions on a real gym floor. Set logging under fatigue and the keyboard flow across load, reps, effort and notes are the two most likely to break.
What happens when you hit 12?
The 14-day clock starts, and nothing changes for you. Once the window completes, Google can grant production access and Android gets a public listing. At that point staying in the test is optional.
On an iPhone instead?
IronLedger is already public on the App Store, free and with no in-app purchases.
