Become a RoxGeo beta tester

Who: Both Time: 10 min

1. Install RoxGeo from Google Play or TestFlight and open it.
2. Swipe through the welcome screens. Person A taps Explore first and looks around as a guest. Person B goes straight to creating an account.
3. Sign in with an email code or with Google. Note how long the email takes to arrive.
4. Allow location and notifications when asked.
5. Open Profile, then Settings, and switch the app language to another one and back.

Watch out forThe code arrives quickly and works the first time. Permission prompts make sense. No English text leaks into the language you picked. The keyboard never hides a field or a button.

Who: Person A Time: 10 min

1. Open the My Rocks tab and tap Add new rock.
2. Enter a name between 3 and 30 characters. Try a too-short name first to see the message.
3. Pick an icon and a theme, then add a photo of your rock.
4. Optional: write a hidden message that only a discoverer with the PIN can read.
5. Save it. Write down the 6-character rock code and the 4-digit secret PIN. In real life the PIN goes on the back of the rock.

Watch out forThe photo uploads without freezing. The icon and colors look the same in the list, on the map and on the rock page. The PIN is easy to see and the Copy PIN button works.

Who: Person A Time: 5 min

1. Go outside to a safe public spot, at least a few hundred metres from Person B if possible.
2. Open your rock and tap Hide Here.
3. Check the status on the rock page and the marker on the map.

Watch out forThe marker lands where you actually stand. The status changes to hidden. Nothing looks stuck while GPS is working.

Who: Person B Time: 15 min

1. Open the Explore tab. Switch between Map and List and change the search radius.
2. Type the 6-character code in the search field, or spot the rock on the map.
3. Open the rock from far away and tap Found It! The app should tell you that you are too far.
4. Walk to within 100 metres and tap Found It! Enter a wrong PIN once to see the error, then the right PIN.
5. If the rock has a hidden message, read it.

Watch out forDistances look right. Error messages are clear and kind. Too many wrong PINs cause a temporary lock, so test that on purpose only once, at the very end.

Who: Both Time: 10 min

1. Person B leaves an emoji reaction and, if possible, adds a photo.
2. Person A checks the Activity tab: a notification about the discovery should arrive. Note how many seconds it took.
3. Person A taps the notification. It should open the right rock.
4. Person A opens the rock page: the journey map, distance, discoverer count, reaction and photo should all be there.

Watch out forThe push shows up on the lock screen and opens the correct screen. Numbers match on both phones. Photos appear in the right size and are not stretched.

Who: Both Time: 10 min

1. Person B hides the rock somewhere new.
2. Person A watches the status and the map update.
3. Person B checks the Found and Kept lists in My Rocks.
4. Person A moves their own rock again without anyone finding it in between. The app should explain that this is only a location update and not a new step of the journey.

Watch out forStatuses change in the right order. Lists on both phones stay in sync. The explanation messages are easy to understand.

Who: Both Time: 8 min

1. Open Profile, then Friends, and search for the other tester by name. At least 3 characters are needed.
2. Follow each other and check the Following and Followers lists.
3. Open each other's public profile and your own statistics.

Watch out forSearch results appear quickly. A follow shows up on both sides.

Who: Both Time: 10 min

1. Open the Campaigns tab and choose an active campaign.
2. Join it and pick a group. You can change your group only once, within 7 days, so choose with care.
3. Add one of your rocks to the campaign.
4. Look at the progress and the leaderboard, and open the fundraiser link if the campaign has one.

Watch out forGroup and rock counters update. Campaign rocks look right in lists and on the map. Links open the right page.

Who: Both Time: 8 min

1. Copy the link of the rock and open it in a phone browser, as if you had never installed RoxGeo.
2. Read the page and try to log a discovery from the web.
3. Open the app and see how this discovery appears, for example as Found online.

Watch out forThe page loads fast and reads well on a small screen. Instructions are clear. The discovery shows up correctly in the app.

Who: Both Time: 15 min

1. Switch on airplane mode and browse the app. You should see an offline banner. Switch it off and check that the app recovers on its own.
2. Try a long language such as German and a right-to-left language such as Arabic.
3. Increase the system font size and turn dark mode on and off.
4. Deny location permission, try to log a discovery, then allow it again in system settings.
5. Turn notifications off and on in the app settings and send yourself an event from the other phone.
6. Put the app in the background for ten minutes and come back.

Watch out forNo blank screens, endless spinners or cut-off text. Every error explains what to do next. The app never loses what you were doing.

Who: Both Time: 5 min

1. Pick up your TEST rocks from the places where you hid them, or leave them only in safe public spots.
2. Optional: on a spare account, try the account deletion path in Settings. Never do this on the account you want to keep testing with.

Watch out forThe deletion steps are clear and honest about what stays and what goes.
