Join iHue internal testing

iHue is building more than one app — like Dash Player and HueAI, with more on the way. Sign up once with your email and we'll keep you in mind whenever a new app opens up for testers. You choose which apps to try, and it only takes a minute.

Sign up with your email

What happens after you sign up

  1. We add your email to iHue's internal testing list. We'll usually add you to a specific app's tester list within 24 hours of signing up.
  2. Come back to the iHue homepage and tap “Get the app” on whichever app interests you — look for the banner marked “Testers only.”
  3. You'll land on a Google Play page titled “You're invited to test…” Tap Accept invite.
  4. Next you'll see a page titled “You're a tester for…” — tap Download test app.
  5. Right after accepting, this can briefly lead to a “not found” error instead of the app page — see below, this is normal. Once it loads, tap Install like any other app.

Seeing a “not found” error right after accepting?

Tapping Download test app immediately after accepting the invite sometimes doesn't show the app yet — this is normal, Google Play just needs a little time to catch up. It looks slightly different depending on where you tapped it:

What to do either way: wait anywhere from 10 minutes to about an hour, then go back and tap Download test app (or Try again) once more. No need to redo anything else.

Seeing “App not available” instead?

If the page says “Your account hasn't yet been invited to participate in this app's internal testing program” instead of showing an invite, it's almost always one of these two things:

Common questions

Will I be added to every app automatically?

No. Signing up just puts you on our list. We only add you to a specific app's tester list, and you always choose whether to actually install it.

Will you spam me?

Never. We'll only reach out when there's a new app worth trying.

I signed up with the wrong email — what now?

Just sign up again above with the correct one. There's no limit and no penalty for signing up more than once.
