Beta program
New features reach the beta before the store.
The store gives everyone the stable Eggbeater, and that is the right default. The beta is the same app a release ahead: you get the new tab, the new report, the new scorer screen while we are still sanding the edges. Free, one tap, and you can leave whenever you want.
- New features first
- iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android
- Leave any time

Apple’s betas run through TestFlight, Apple’s own free app for testing.
1. Install TestFlight
Get TestFlight from the App Store on the device you want the beta on. It is free and made by Apple.
2. Open the join link
Tap “Join on TestFlight”, “Join the Coach beta” or “Join the Desk beta” above on that device, then Accept.
3. Install the beta
TestFlight shows the app with an Install button. A beta replaces the store version and keeps your teams and sign-in.
Join the beta on Android
Three steps, and the second one is the one people skip. Eggbeater and Eggbeater Desk each have their own opt-in page: both buttons are below.
1. Become a tester
Open the Google Play opt-in page and tap “Become a tester”, signed in with the same Google account you use for the Play Store.
2. Give Play a few minutes
The beta does not appear the second you join. Up to 15 minutes is normal, and it is the step people give up on.
3. Update Eggbeater
Open Eggbeater (or Eggbeater Desk) on Google Play and tap Update (or Install). The listing will tell you that you are a beta tester.
What the beta is, and what it is not
Same app, same games
The beta reads the same live scores, the same clubs and the same notifications as the public app. Joining does not move your team, sign you out, or start you over.
A release ahead
Beta builds go out whenever there is something worth testing: sometimes weekly, sometimes not for a month. Whatever is next reaches you first.
Rough edges are the deal
A beta build has had less time on real devices than a store release. If one misbehaves on a game day, leaving takes a minute and puts you back on the public version.
Tell us what broke
hello@eggbeater.app comes straight to us, and it is the feedback address Google shows on the beta listing. Beta feedback stays private. It never lands in the public reviews.
Leaving on Android takes a minute
You are never stuck on a beta build, and you do not have to ask us.
1. Leave the program
Open the same opt-in page and tap “Leave the program”. Nothing else on your phone changes.
2. Reinstall from the store
Uninstall Eggbeater and install it again from its Play listing. Android will not move you back down to the public build on its own.
3. Everything comes back
Your team, your notifications and your sign-in live in your account, not in the build, so they return with you.
Leaving on iPhone, iPad or Mac
1. Stop testing
Open TestFlight, choose the app, and tap Stop Testing.
2. Install from the App Store
Open the app’s App Store page and install it. You are back on the public version, with your teams and sign-in.
