Two small asks

  • Use a made-up child name and age. We're still finishing a few privacy pieces before real family information goes in.
  • Android testers: keep the app installed for 14 days. That's what counts toward Google's launch requirement, so every tester who stays really does help. Opening it a few times along the way is perfect.
Found a bug or got confused? That's exactly what we want to hear. Email pricklyjarapp@gmail.com with what happened and which device you were on. This is still an early build, and you can stop testing anytime.
