Some time ago we published a story where we showed you how open betas came to Play Store . This was news because before the system was quite messy and needed to join a Google+ community to get access to the beta. As a sample of the evolution of Google Play Store today we show you how to be the first to try the Play Store apps .

There are many developers who have joined the betas program and have verified how having an active community that tests their applications is a great help before the official launch.

How to be the first to try the Play Store apps.

Because the catalog of beta applications available in the official store has increased , we can now follow these steps to get access:

  • Access Google Play from our Android device.
  • In the section "Applications and games" we access the new category of name "Access beta" (it is one of the green tabs).
  • A list appears with all the beta versions of applications in development that you can install.

It seems something exciting to be able to try all those applications that will be available in the future and we may even discover some interesting app. But I also have to warn you that beta versions are prone to errors and do not work correctly .

To contribute our bit to the development of these beta applications, I must also tell you that if you find an error, it is worth reporting it to the developer . In all bug reports, you must take into account that you must provide as much information as possible. Limit to saying that "the app does not work" does not solve any problem. Including data such as the type of Android device you are using and how to reproduce the fault are two essential data.

One last trick to find applications in beta phase, is to access the search for the word beta in Google+ communities.
