Open beta programs for apps on Google Play have been around for a while now, but Google is now taking steps to make finding and participating in those programs even easier. As part of Google I/O 2016, Google has announced that open betas will now begin appearing in Google Play search results.
From Google:
Open beta tests are helpful to get feedback from a large group of users and allow any user to join a beta test. We're making open beta tests easier to find and participate in: apps that are available only as open betas and aren't in production yet will soon appear in Play search results, users will be able to opt-in from Play store listings directly, and users will be able to send you private feedback through your Play store listing too.
In addition, Google says that it will launch a new "Google Play Early Access" featured section, showing off a curated list of open betas that people can participate in. Between these two changes, finding new beta apps to check out should be much easier than the current opt-in system that often requires obtaining a link from the developer.
Finally, in non-beta app news, Google will begin showcasing collections of apps that go well together. For example, for a task like buying a house, you may want apps for getting a mortgage and another for taking notes. The new collections will group these complimentary apps together based on context.
