🕊 I’m rolling out the Android app for AWAGAM, the app equivalent to the TLD, domain, and URL blocker Chromium extension.
For this I’m looking for additional testers—the more the merrier, if only to provide some light feedback and support the launch and lend a hand.
🖐️ Before you swipe/scroll on, the app takes no user data and nothing is being tracked, either.
If you're interested, please message me—I’d look forward to coordinating!
For a first impression see the extension, existing blocklists, and how you could create your own blocklists (that then also work with the app):

Alright, we're looking for beta testers for Catodon's mobile app, as Google demands 12 testers having it installed (and ideally using it) for at least 14 days.
The app is nothing exciting tbh, it's a glorified TWA, which allows you to switch server. However, it might be interesting for some people because you don't need a Catodon account: If you select catodon.rocks, you can also use it with your Mastodon or Misskey or Sharkey account (basically with anything that uses the Mastodon, Misskey or ActivityPub API), as an app. You can get a taste of Catodon's UX this way, even though you'll be missing a lot of features. Or of course you can make a Catodon account if you don't have one yet.
So, if anyone is interested in installing our app and keeping it for at least a couple of weeks, please send me the email that you're logged into Google Play with, and I'll send you the links.
Thank you, and please repost this, so that we can find our testing group!
