Testers required for LAMW app on the Google Play Store
« on: May 28, 2025, 02:30:14 pm »
I have built a LAMW Android app called 'News Rush' that is now on Google Play in closed testing at the moment, it's an English News Video Streaming app utilising YouTube that was designed around my own user requirements, and may suit others too.

Features:
- Over 700 English news channels from around the world.
- On-Demand News, catch up on your favorite news shows, at a time that suits you.
- Live TV News: Watch live broadcasts from a range of English based news channels, including CBC News, DW News, Al Jazeera, Euronews, DD India, Republic News, France 24 and much more.
- Picture-in-picture (PiP) / Floating window feature allowing you to surf the web while watching your favorite news channel.
- Auto play feature, plays the next video automatically, this can be disabled if required.
- Add a video from the current playing time to a Watchlist.
- Save your country or genre of interest.
- Quickly search for a channel, and switch to the channel's website to get more detailed information.
- Save your favorite channels for easy access later.
- All channels have an associated website, and in most cases contact information.
- Link directly to the news channel's Youtube video content.
- Share video links with friends.
- Change the video orientation or put the video into mobile/portrait mode for easier viewing.
- Check the bias/credibility of the channel you're watching using a third-party media credibility site.
- Block channels you don't like or just don't want visible in the app, can be restored later.
- Enable subtitles and/or disable Autoplay.

Disclaimer:
All videos, logos and thumbnails are copyright of their respective owners, and the developer does not imply any ownership.

If anyone wants to test it, I would be most grateful, just message me, the only thing I need is your Android email address to add it to the email testers list so you can gain access to the Testing link, as this is a requirement to access the Closed Testing on Google Play, you can create a temp email account if you don't want to use your main email.

Once your email address has been added as a tester, you can access the app at: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.nicelybrewed.news

I'm not familiar with Goodman's case. I can only say that I've been reading the posts on this site for years, and answering some of them. Most of the questions, from both amateurs and professionals, are answered politely. I don't know if this post is considered appropriate, although I believe it is. In any case, no one can guarantee that a single post will attract the attention of users and obtain the desired responses.
To err is human, but to really mess things up, you need a computer.

It's a LAMW app written in pascal using Lazarus.

A snippet of code where I return the distinct country for all records in the Favorites SQL table based on selections in the Genre and Country ListViews, and populate some StringLists to use them later, as well as saving the selected Country/Genre setting in the DB, so if the app gets slated it picks up where it left off.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.     if (selectedTitle = 'Favorites') and (genreListview.GetItemIndex() <> 0) and (countryListview.GetItemIndex() <> 0) then
  2.      begin
  3.       SQLiteDataAccess.Select('SELECT DISTINCT COUNTRY FROM '+TFavStations +  ' WHERE GENRE ='+quotedstr(genreStr) + ' AND COUNTRY ='+quotedstr(countryStr) + ' ORDER BY COUNTRY ASC;');
  4.      end;
  5.
