Before you start

Use the same Google Account in your browser and Play Store

The beta will not appear if the browser that opens the test link and the Play Store on your Android device use different Google Accounts. Tap the profile picture at the top right in both places and compare the email addresses first.

Signing up and installing the app are free. After joining, do not press “Leave the program.” That button is only for ending your beta participation.

Troubleshooting

Joined, but still cannot see the beta?

Google says I am using a different account

Open the profile at the top right in both your browser and the Play Store, then compare the email addresses. If they differ, reopen the invitation with the account used by the Play Store.

I joined, but there is no “Update” button

Google Play may take several minutes or longer to apply your registration. Wait a little, fully close and reopen the Play Store, then check the KyouStudy page again.

The app is shown as unavailable

This can be caused by device compatibility or regional availability. Email the on-screen message and your device model to [email protected] so we can check.
