Hey family,
Building something from the ground up takes real work, but having a circle that shows up for each other makes all the difference. We are in this together to reach our launch goals. When we pay it forward and stay active on each other's projects, everybody wins.
Please make sure you are regularly checking for updates on everyone's apps in this group, not just mine. I am cycling through everyone's apps and doing testing to see how they are doing and help keep things moving forward. Sticking together, testing back, and keeping every app active is how we all clear Google's closed testing requirements.
On my end, I pushed a fresh update live today for Noir Cigar. If you are new here, it is a clean, simple tool for logging smokes and learning the basics without clutter. Grab the latest build using the link below and let me know how it feels.
Quick heads up: if you spot a "Remove Ads" tab on the home screen, you can completely ignore it. Ads are disabled during closed testing, so that tab is totally inactive for now.

Key Reminders & Troubleshooting
Keep it installed: Leave the app on your phone for at least 14 days and open it every few days so Google registers active testing data.
Check for updates: Keep an eye out for updates across all apps in our testing circle. Keeping builds updated ensures Google tracks true active engagement across the board.
Country availability errors: If the Play Store says "not available in your country," reply here or send me a DM. Adding new countries in the Play Console can take Google anywhere from 24 hours to a week to review, so hang tight while regional updates process.
Account mismatch: Make sure your mobile browser is signed into the exact same Gmail account you used to join the Google Group.
Play Store glitches: If you run into link errors or loading issues, go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Clear Cache, then open the link again.
Thank you all for the effort and mutual support. Keep dropping your updates and links in the group so we can keep testing your builds. Let's get every single app in this group approved!
