What each plan includes

• Newly released lists apps whose store release date falls inside your time window. Entered the charts lists apps that appeared in a top chart for the first time, even if they launched earlier.
• Choose a country, a store (App Store, Google Play or both) and a time window. "More filters" narrows by category, chart, price and rating.
• Data comes from the public App Store and Google Play top charts (free, paid, grossing) and is refreshed twice a day. A newly launched app shows up once it reaches a chart we scan.
• Open any app to see its rank history, rating and install trend. Tap the eye icon to add it to your watchlist.
• Save a search and turn on email alerts (Pro and Studio) to get a digest when new apps match your filters.

• iOS: a public TestFlight link (testflight.apple.com/join/…).
• 3–14 proof questions that only someone who opened your app can answer, e.g. "What is the title on the home screen?". One question is asked per day, in turn. Case, Turkish letters and punctuation are ignored.

• Time for about 10–15 minutes a day for two weeks.

How a squad runs

1. Join

   You enter the queue

   You add your app and pay the 20-credit deposit. Everyone waiting for the same platform joins the same squad.

2. Up to 72 h

   The squad fills up

   It locks as soon as 16 people have joined. If it waits 72 hours and has at least 13, it locks with fewer.

3. ~1–2 days

   Setup

   After locking there are at least 30 hours to get ready: add your teammates' emails to your closed test, publish the track, opt in to every teammate's test and tick each step off in the squad page.

4. Days 1–14

   Daily testing

   Every day, open each teammate's app and answer its question of the day. A day counts when you test at least 80% of active teammates.

5. After day 14

   Completion

   Finishers get their deposit back, a 10-credit bonus, an equal share of forfeited deposits and +5 reputation. A report of your app's testing is ready on the squad page.

2. 2Open each app and answerInstall or update the app from its test link, use it, then type the answer. A correct answer is your check-in. You have 5 tries per app per day.
3. 3Reach 80%In a full squad you have 15 teammates, so at least 12 check-ins are needed. Checking in to all of them is a perfect day.
