Glad you’re here. One quick thing.
Spottr shows you who else is training at your gym right now. You check in when you arrive, set your vibe, and if you’re open to it, others can say hi. Simple lang.
To let you in, I need your Play Store email
Spottr’s on Google Play’s closed test, so I add each tester by hand. Drop the email signed in to your phone’s Play Store and I’ll have you in — usually within a day.
That’s the only thing to do right now — about 30 seconds. Once you’re in, I’ll let you know and you install the app. Everything below is for then, not now.
In a hurry and don’t want to wait for me? .
The setup, when you’re ready
About five minutes in total, and you don’t have to do it in one sitting. No rush — come back here once I’ve let you know you’re in.
1 · Install Spottr
Once you’re on the list, open the listing in the Play Store app on your phone and install. Android only for now.
2 · Get set up in the app
- 1Open the app and create an account.
- 2Join the Spottr Test Gym — .
- 3Check in. Use the code ZVIU5 when asked.
- 4Set your vibe and flip "Open to chat" on if you don't mind a hello.
- 5Look around the feed. See who else is "here."
- 6Send a message or introduce yourself — in the app or in the tester group.
- 7Tell me anything. Bugs, confusing parts, ideas, "bakit ganito" — all of it.
Even 10 minutes of poking around helps. You can’t use this wrong — more on that at the bottom.
Joining the Spottr Test Gym
Your test-gym check-in code — you’ll enter this in the app:
- 1After creating your account, you'll land on an empty Your gyms screen.
- 2Tap Add gym manually. Skip Scan Gym QR — the test gym has no QR to scan.
- 3Enter the fallback code: ZVIU5
- 4The Spottr Test Gym now appears under Your gyms. Open it.
- 5Pick a vibe, flip Open to chat if you want, then tap I'm in to check in and show up in the live feed.
Real check-in normally uses your gym’s QR and location. For the test gym, the code ZVIU5 works from anywhere.

Suggested intro message
Copy this into the tester group and make it yours.
Hi, I'm [name]. I usually train at [gym / city]. I'm into [powerlifting / calisthenics / general fitness / just starting out]. Trying Spottr out, excited to see how it goes.
Example: “Hi, I’m Wency. I train around BGC. Mostly strength stuff. First time testing something like this, so I’ll probably have a lot of questions.”
Optional: add yourself instead
You don’t need this if you sent me your email up top — I’ll add you either way. But if you’d rather not wait, you can join the Spottr Beta Squad Google Group yourself. Heads up: it needs a Google login, which can be fiddly inside the Facebook or Messenger browser.
- 1Make sure you’re signed in with the same Google account you use on the Play Store, then tap Join group.
- 2Your Display name is how you’ll show up in the group. Keep “Link to my Google account profile” checked if you’re fine showing your name and photo.
- 3Set Subscription to “Each email” so you don’t miss updates during the test — switch to Digest later if it gets noisy.
- 4Tap Join group. That’s it.
Heads up: before you join, the group page shows “You don’t have permission to access this content.” That’s normal, the group is members-only. Just tap Join group and you’re in.
You can’t use this wrong
I’m not watching for perfect streaks or daily check-ins. If you open it once, get confused, and close it, that confusion is the most useful thing you can give me. Tell me what made you pause, what you expected to happen, or what felt off. Half-finished thoughts are fine. Bugs are gold. Brutal honesty helps more than being nice.
Questions or anything that broke? Email me at spottr.ph@gmail.com. I’m slow sometimes — work overtime or at the gym — but I read and reply to everything. Salamat for testing.
