During the test

Use your phone normally. If Small Print warns you about something, great. That's it working.

Tell us when it gets it wrong. If you see a page that should have been flagged, or it warns you about a page that's fine: right after, open Small Print and tap More › Report a page it got wrong. Your email app opens with the details. You'll see exactly what's included and can delete anything before you send.

Anything else, like confusing wording, a button in the wrong place or an idea: More › Send feedback.

Please stay for 14 days. Google only lets us launch once enough testers have kept the app for two weeks in a row. Uninstalling early resets the clock.

Your privacy

Being a tester doesn't change anything. Small Print still has no internet access and sends us nothing. The only thing we ever see is an email you choose to send. Privacy policy.
