[Android] Pray First — a prayer app that locks distracting apps until you pray (looking for beta testers)

I’ve been building a Christian prayer app called Pray First, and I’m looking for people to help test it before launch.

The idea: instead of scrolling first thing, you pray first. There’s a daily mood check-in, a personalized prayer built around what’s on your heart, block one app before prayer, a journal, and streak tracking — all free, forever.

The paid tier (Pray First Plus) adds Prayer Lock — you choose apps like Instagram or TikTok, and they stay locked until you complete a short prayer. As many apps as you want.

I need 12+ testers to run it for 14 days before I can launch publicly on the Play Store. If you’re up for it:

The link to become a tester: send me your gmail address to add you to the tester group

Just tap the link, hit “Become a tester,” and install from the Play Store. Would really appreciate anyone willing to keep it installed for the two weeks — and I’m genuinely open to feedback, bug reports, or “this feature is confusing” comments. This is a solo project so every tester matters a lot.

Thanks 🙏
