"Why shouldn't I just use the Play Console?"
The Google Play Console is designed for production distribution. While it has internal testing tracks, Google often applies the same review processes and policy checks to these tracks, which can delay your QA loop by days.
We are designed for the development loop. When your CI finishes a build, it should be on your QA team's devices instantly. No processing times, no reviews, no policy blocks.
Plus, we support both iOS and Android in one platform. Manage your entire mobile distribution workflow without juggling multiple tools.
