Request closed beta access

Google Play requires a closed beta before production access is granted. We need at least 12 Android testers to install and keep CruiseBuddy for 30 days before the public listing can open.

Send us the email address you use for Google Play and we will add it to the private tester list. Once added, you will receive the Google Play testing link by email.

The Android beta includes the core CruiseBuddy planning flow: cruise countdowns, day-by-day itineraries, port notes, excursions, documents, payments, reminders, packing lists and encrypted sharing. It is designed for people who want a dedicated cruise planner instead of stitching the trip together from email, screenshots and generic notes apps.

What the Android beta helps test

We are looking for real cruise planning feedback across different Android phones, screen sizes and planning styles before the public Google Play listing opens.

Itinerary planning

Add sailing dates, ships, ports, sea days and excursion notes so the whole cruise has one timeline.

Documents and reminders

Keep tickets, insurance, passports, payment dates and practical reminders close to the cruise they belong to.

Budgets and balances

Track deposits, balances, onboard spending notes and planner estimates before departure.

Packing and tasks

Use packing lists and to-do lists to see what is ready and what still needs attention.

Encrypted sharing

Share selected cruise details with travel companions using end-to-end encrypted magic links.

Tester feedback

Tell us what feels clear, what feels awkward and what would make the app more useful on Android.
