TestFlight for Android: the same easy beta testing for Android apps
TestFlight is Apple's beta testing service for iPhone, iPad and Mac apps. There's no TestFlight for Android, so Android testers often end up with APK files in chats and drives.
Digidropp gives Android testers the same experience: one link that always has the newest build, with release notes, and checks that catch broken updates before testers install.
| Digidropp | TestFlight | |
|---|---|---|
| Platforms | Android, plus Ad Hoc / Development / Enterprise iOS builds. | Apple platforms only. |
| Review before testers install | None; builds are available as soon as they upload. | External testing requires Beta App Review. |
| How long builds last | Latest build always kept; older builds 15 days during the beta. | Builds expire after 90 days. |
| Pull request previews | Install link + QR code on every PR. | Not built in. |
| iPhone testers | Devices must be in your Ad Hoc profile (or use Enterprise signing). | Any iPhone, with no device registration. |
When TestFlight is the better choice
- iPhone testing at scale: TestFlight lets any iPhone install without registering devices. Many teams use TestFlight for iOS and Digidropp for Android.
When Digidropp is the better choice
- You need TestFlight-style beta testing for Android.
- You want iOS Ad Hoc builds without waiting for beta review.
