Hi all, I've created my first Android app and in order to get it published in the play store, I need some closed beta testers. If anyone would be willing to test out the app I would be very appreciative! The app is a digital adaptation of the card game Kalooki, a Gin/Rummy variant using 2 decks of cards, 2 Jokers and a specific ruleset. You do not need to know anything about the game already, there are tips that display on first-run (can be re-enabled from the settings screen if you want to view them again) as well as a full rules screen from the main menu, and a Quick Reference popup that is available from the game screen itself. To join the closed beta, you will need to join the associated Google Group and then I can add your emails to the tester list - https://groups.google.com/g/kalooki Currently the app is only available in UK/US/NZ/AUS but if there is interest from elsewhere I can expand the beta Thanks!

Today we are announcing substantial updates that evolve our business model and build on our long history of openness globally. We’re doing that in three ways: more billing options, a program for registered app stores, and lower fees and new programs for developers.

We are excited to announce a major milestone in bringing mobile and desktop computing closer together on Android: connected display support has reached general availability with the Android 16 QPR3 release!
