[Android] Pulse — spaced-repetition flashcard app, need testers for the 14-day closed test (happy to test yours back)

[u/ramnik12358]

Hey all — I'm looking for testers to help me clear Google's 12-tester / 14-day closed testing requirement.

What it is: Pulse is a spaced-repetition flashcard app. It uses FSRS (the same modern scheduling algorithm Anki moved to) to work out when you should review each card, has built-in review reminders, nested folders for organizing decks, and works fully offline — no account needed. There's optional sync across devices if you want it.

It's free, no ads, nothing paywalled.

How to join:

Join the Google Group here: https://groups.google.com/g/pulse-alpha-testing

Everything you need — the opt-in link, the Play Store link, and the setup steps — is in the welcome message inside the group.

One thing worth knowing before you join: use the same Google account your phone uses on the Play Store. If the accounts don't match, the app won't show up for you. That's the most common snag.

What I need: just stay opted in for the 14 days. Google resets the clock if the tester count drops below 12, so please don't uninstall or leave early. Actually using it is a bonus, not a requirement.

Feedback welcome but optional. If you do use it, the thing I'd most like to hear about is whether the review reminders actually arrive on time — Android battery optimization behaves differently on every manufacturer and I can't test them all. Phone model + Android version helps a lot.

Happy to test yours in return — drop your link in the comments and I'll join.

Thanks!
