Hey fellow devs and researchers

I'm currently beta testing an Android app I built called DNA Companion — designed for students, scientists, and researchers working with DNA sequences, PCR, or bioinformatics.

The app is simple, offline, and meant to support basic sequence work without cloud dependencies or ads.

Key Features:
Convert DNA sequences and generate complementary strands

Highlight invalid or non-DNA characters (e.g., typos, mixed content)

Support for degenerate bases (like R, Y, M, K — useful in primer design)

100% offline – no data collection, no ads

Save, copy, and export sequences with ease

🧪 Why I’m Posting:
Google requires 12+ testers to use the app for 14 days before I can go live on the Play Store. If you're interested in supporting indie dev + science tools, I'd really appreciate your help!

How to Join the Beta Test:
1️⃣ Join the tester group
https://groups.google.com/g/companiondna-testers

2️⃣ Opt in to the beta
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.yourname.dnaconversion

3️⃣ Install the app
After opting in, you’ll be able to download from the Play Store.

The app is currently set at $3.59 AUD (~$2.39 USD) during the test — this helps me avoid bots and keep it sustainable.

No need to leave reviews. Just keeping the app installed for 14 days helps a lot!

Let me know if you’re testing your app too — I’ll gladly return the favor and test yours in return.

Thanks for supporting independent tools in science!
