Join as a tester

TurboTime is on Google Play's internal testing track — a couple of extra steps versus a normal install, most of them one-time.

  1. 1. Request access

    If you haven't already, submit your email on the TurboTime home page. Use the same address your phone's Google Play Store is signed into — that's the one that needs to be added as a tester.

  2. 2. Accept the tester invite

    Once you're added, Google Play emails that address an invite. Open the link in that email and tap “Become a tester”.

    This step matters: searching for TurboTime in the Play Store, or opening a plain Play Store link to it, won't work until you've accepted the invite this way — you'll just see “Item not found”. The invite link is the only thing that actually unlocks the listing for your account.

  3. 3. Install from Google Play

    After accepting, the regular Play Store listing works normally — install TurboTime like any other app. If it still says "Item not found" right away, give it a few minutes; the invite can take a little while to take effect.

  4. 4. Create your account

    Open the app and register with your email and a password — no username, no separate sign-up steps.

  5. 5. Connect Strava and/or Intervals.icu

    From your Profile, connect Strava so every finished ride uploads itself automatically, and/or Intervals.icu to pull your latest Fitness, Fatigue, Form and eFTP onto the same screen. Both are optional and independent — skip either, or both, and everything else still works.

  6. 6. Keep it updated

    If Play Store auto-update is on for your phone, new versions install themselves in the background — nothing to do. To check manually, or if TurboTime doesn't turn up when you search the Play Store by name (internal-test apps don't always surface well in a plain name search), search instead for its package ID: ie.linearconsulting.turbotime. That takes you straight to the listing, where you can install a pending update or confirm you're already current.

From here, the getting started guide picks up with your first workout.
