Testing runs through Google Play, so use the same Google account you use on your phone.
Everything on this page is on Google Play already — install it there and updates arrive
like any other app. The testing channel is separate: it gets each build a while before it
reaches everyone, which is useful if you want to help find problems. You can leave it at
any time and go back to the released version.

On your phone, open <a id="optin-link" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ngoline.easygpg">the app on Google Play</a>.
On a computer, use the <a id="optin-web" href="https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.ngoline.easygpg">web opt-in page</a> instead.
On a computer, use the <a id="optin-web" href="https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.ngoline.easygpg">web opt-in page</a>.
On your phone, the option appears near the bottom of
<a id="optin-link" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ngoline.easygpg">the store listing</a>.
Joining the group has to come first — Play checks it at this point, and membership can take a few minutes to register.

<h3>Install from Play</h3>
<p>The store page will offer you the test build. Updates arrive like any other app.</p>
<h3>Install as usual</h3>
<p>Play then offers you the test build instead of the released one. Leaving the group, or opting out, puts you back on the released version at the next update.</p>
