<p>Before launching your app, it's always valuable to get real-world feedback
from users — even more so when you are launching a new app. It's highly
recommended that you distribute a pre-release version of your app to users
across your key markets and provide an easy means for them to provide feedback
and report bugs. </p>
<p>Google Play can help you set up a beta program for your app. After you sign
in to the Developer Console and upload your APK, you can set up groups of users
for alpha testing and beta testing the app. You can start with a small group of
alpha testers, then move to a larger group of beta testers. Once users are
added, they access your app's store listing and install the app. User feedback
from alpha and beta testers goes directly to you and is not posted as public
reviews. </p>
<p>The feedback you receive will help you adjust your UI, translations, and
store listing to ensure a great experience for users. </p>
