Help test LibreAAC on Google Play
Google requires at least 12 testers to remain opted in for 14 consecutive days before LibreAAC can apply for public release. Send the email address of the Google Account you use with Google Play. I add testers manually and will reply with the opt-in link, usually within 24 hours.
