Frequently Asked Questions
Before you submit your request
Who should become a Founding Tester?
The program is intended for people actively learning, teaching, or
regularly using Spanish who have an Android device and a Google
account. Founding Testers must be age 18 or older.
Do I need advanced Spanish?
No. Feedback from beginners, intermediate learners, and advanced
learners can all help improve VerbCompass.
Do I need technical testing experience?
No. We want you to use VerbCompass as a language learner and
describe your experience in your own words.
Why do you need my Google-account email address?
Google Play controls Closed Test access through a tester list. We
need the exact Google-account email you will use with Google Play
on your Android device so we can add it to that list.
What happens after I submit my request?
We’ll review your request personally. Submitting the form does not
immediately add you to the test. If your request is a good fit for
the Founding Tester program and we add you to the Closed Test,
we’ll email you everything you need to get started, including the
Google Play tester link and brief instructions.
What device and account do I need?
The current test requires an Android phone or tablet and a Google
account. The account signed in to Google Play on that device must
match the email address you submit here.
Why can’t I join directly from this page?
We must first add your Google-account email to the Google Play
Console tester list. After that, we can email you the Google Play
tester link that lets you opt in and install VerbCompass.
How long will testing take?
Google Play requires testers to remain opted in for at least 14
consecutive days. Remain opted in, keep the app installed, and use
VerbCompass naturally during your normal Spanish study throughout
that period.
How do I share feedback?
Use the
Founding Tester Feedback form. Tell us
what worked well, what felt confusing, and what would make the
app more useful for your Spanish study. You may submit the form
whenever you have something useful to share.
When will I receive Lifetime Full Access?
You have full Spanish-app access during testing. After you complete
at least 14 consecutive days opted in, use the app, and submit at
least one honest feedback report, let us know through the
feedback form that you have finished.
We will review your completion report within seven calendar days
and email confirmation or explain any missing requirement. We will
provide your earned permanent access before future paid restrictions
affect you, at no charge to you. Access is
associated with the Google account used during testing, has no
recurring fee, and includes updates to the Spanish course in this
Android app. Separate future products or courses are not promised
by this offer.
Does my reward depend on a review or Google approving the app?
No. We ask for honest private testing feedback, not a public rating
or review. Your earned benefit does not depend on positive feedback
or Google approving the public release. If the public release is
delayed, your earned benefit and its delivery deadline remain in
place. We will keep you informed about access and fulfillment.
Is the free browser edition part of the Android test?
No. The browser edition remains free with no testing obligation.
To participate in this program, you must join the Android closed
test and install through Google Play after receiving your invitation.
Browser use alone does not count toward the testing period.
