This comment section has restored my faith in humanity. I really thought you'd say "ok see you when it's ready" But instead, everyone's like "PUT ME IN COACH"

The play store is DIABOLICAL and severely limits the # of people allowed in this closed beta.

Or I would literally add every one of you!!

I would like to do this, too!! Android user, here!

twobits456.bsky.social•15 days ago

Put me in coach. I am a professional lurker! 😂

markdmac.bsky.social•15 days ago

We don't n ed to get it in the play store for you to get more test data. Share the APK and we can side load it. PLEASE.

gugarenesto.bsky.social•20 days ago

I'm willing to test it, but how about alternative app stores like f-droid?

shawntv.bsky.social•20 days ago

Speaking of android users, will the app use the camera in my phone that actually looks good. Or will it do that thing where it basically takes a screen recording of what the camera is seeing.

The minute an android version is available for testing I will definitely be in line to join!! Can't wait to see the app. I have heard great things about it.

unrealcards.bsky.social•20 days ago

I went and bought an iPhone just to get the apple beta 🤣. One day my pixel 8 will have skylight!

rubyproto.bsky.social•20 days ago

You could send APKs to the people who request it

livesinthought.bsky.social•15 days ago

I have a S23 Ultra and Pixel 9 Pro ready to go.

imkindnotnice.bsky.social•18 days ago

Kinda bummed I missed my chance to Beta. Will definitely look forward to downloading when it hits the play store. Im so psyched about it. I almost accidentaly download T social. I dont want that in my life.

illusorymechanist.bsky.social•20 days ago

For the 10 billionth time, you can just give us the apk *directly*

bethpink.bsky.social•20 days ago

I think the issue right now is, they have to have a certain number of testers who are using it thru the Play Store, in order for it to hit metrics to get fully listed on there.
I'm betting they'll open it up like you said, once they've gotten thru that process!

haz-mat.bsky.social•20 days ago

You can do both.

paulhulford.bsky.social•20 days ago

F-Droid! I know you're a two person team so there's probably a legit time constraint, yet we'll give tons of feed back.

ashton.social•20 days ago

Those users will likely give more detailed feedback as well. They tend to have more technical backgrounds.

felicialynnelee.bsky.social•20 days ago

I would love to help next time you can let more in!

leonyxd.bsky.social•20 days ago

I would love to be a beta tester for Skylight 😭

spookybiscuits.com•20 days ago

sounds like everybody's excited for skylight! if you're somehow ever in need of another beta tester, i volunteer! :3

greencat19.bsky.social•17 days ago

Can we side load it? I would like to help.

boettchersketch.bsky.social•20 days ago

Me first 🙏🙏🙏

andylol.bsky.social•20 days ago

IPhone beta when? 🥺

skylight.social•20 days ago

iPhone beta is pinned to the top of the @skylight.social page! Would love to see you on Skylight 😀

ginsu.comintern.social•16 days ago

Here's TikTok directly serving APKs while you refuse to because all you wanna do is bitch about Google for some reason.

usctrojanage.bsky.social•18 days ago

Are you able to see who's actually logging in to use the app? Can you kick like the bottom two people off weekly and add two more testers? I have no idea how this works, but I'd love to beta!

stormrunner.bsky.social•20 days ago

APK for those of us who know how to force an installation though if you need extra!

kiddwong.bsky.social•20 days ago

That is why android is better

stormrunner.bsky.social•20 days ago

I understand why some use apple for familiarity and comfort.

Just like people use Windows or MacOS vs Linux.

But, in this case, yes this is great for beta testing and more likely why play store has a limit

kiddwong.bsky.social•20 days ago

Of course. I mean it is better for me. Use whatever you like!

montanajace.com•20 days ago

I'd like to be a part of the android beta! I agree with all of the F-Droif and APK comments. You could get more testers and quicker through these methods while waiting for the Play Store. Excited for this app!

usctrojanage.bsky.social•18 days ago

If @skylight.social you're able to expand, I'm absolutely up for Android beta. I'm on my phone way too much, so I can definitely put in time.

strwberryventii.bsky.social•14 days ago

NOOOO LEMME IN. !!!!! LEMME IN GOOGLE

boobafett.bsky.social•20 days ago

I've had some sound issues posting, so I have deleted those. But I am happy to join once it's ready!

There's solutions bypassing those silo's, like #f-droid
🍀

kiddwong.bsky.social•20 days ago

I am an objectively selfish and horrible human being so I am going to wait for the finished product.

basketcasecorey.bsky.social•20 days ago

I am very excited for this app and it just takes time and I'm willing to wait :3

zenosabsurdum.bsky.social•20 days ago

I'm willing to install the apk on my S25 ultra for testing. Don't need the play store.

nordicerik07.bsky.social•20 days ago

Damn! Wish I could contribute. We all want out of TikTok, so we're in it for you guys. This is an effort we all want to come to fruition!

mikupcake.bsky.social•20 days ago

Google play you chicken, let me innnn 😂

jasonm429.bsky.social•20 days ago

I'm happy to be one of them, just waiting for the link

wolfishgrin.bsky.social•20 days ago

I definitely want to join when there are more openings!
