Sign up for your 'Sandbox Paypal Account' and then Download the Weight Wager App and Begin to Play!

State of the App:
The Weight Wager app is not done. I am hoping for a release in late Summer of this year, if all goes well. It has all of it's features for version 1.0. But I won't know how well it works until it has real users, like you. I want to be upfront, that as you play the game there could be bugs, feature problems and even confusing functionality and usability issues in the app. A feature you use may not even work! That is normal during development! That is why this is considered a brand new 'Beta' software product. Any version 1.0, is always rough around the edges :). This is the start of the process to make it work really great for future users.

Because I have never made a health related app, I don't know what it's real weaknesses and issues are until I have real Weight-Lossers weighing into it weekly. So please be patient. As they say 'If you see it, say it'. Report anything to me (that you see in the questionnaire below) that does not make sense. You can also go to www.WeightWagerApp.com and send an email straight to me there. That is exactly why I am doing this test with you. Also, the app will most likely react differently on all kinds of different phones so you may encounter a bug that another in the game may not and that is why I needed the model of your smartphone.

Playing the Game:
This is a 4 week weight loss game with a $10 bet each week. (Note: During this mid-June to mid-July test game, there will not be any money actually won or lost). If you cannot commit to weighing in every Monday for 28 straight days or will be on vacation and can't weigh in consistently etc - please DO NOT download the app. Also you must sing up for a 'Paypal Sandbox Account' (link below). You will NOT use your personal Paypal account. As soon as you finish signing up and onboarding into the live game, you will need to fill out the 23 question user testing survey (the link is below) to send me feedback on what screens and features you had problems with (I also enjoy knowing what you like too! (which can be rare to here because people tend to only write when there is a problem - haha). But mostly I am looking for features that don't work well, screens that are confusing, usability issues or anything else.

Minimum Weight Wager Game Requirements (You must meet all of these requirements):

What you need to do to Play:
I don't want to instruct you too specifically because I want to see if you could use this app well with little instruction (from me) and instead from the app itself. But if you get stuck, reach out to me and I will help! [email protected]
All games start on Mondays - but you can register and onboard any day and you will app on a day besides Monday. The reason for this is that your weigh-ins ONLY count for money on Mondays - I call this 'Money Mondays'. If you go up in weight from the previous Monday - you owe your weekly bet amount ($10) and paypal will charge your account. If you went down in weight, you will win a share of the money from those who went up. So Monday's are key for having your starting/benchmark weigh in. (Note: During this mid-June to mid-July game - there will be no actual money won or lost).
2 STEPS TO DOWNLOADING THE APP:

STEP 1: Sign up for a paypal sandbox account.

Weight Wager normally takes Paypal but we are not going to charge you any money during this test game. So you must sign up for a 'Paypal Sandbox Account'. A Paypal sandbox account is a Paypal testing account that will not actually charge you any money during the game. But it will tell you (and me) if you would have won money or lost money.

Sign up for a paypal sandbox account here: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/signup/account

NOTE: YOU WILL NOT BE USING YOUR ACTUAL EXISTING/PERSONAL PAYPAL ACCOUNT FOR THE TEST. YOU HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR A SANDBOX ACCOUNT ABOVE.
WHEN YOU GET TO THE PAYPAL SCREEN INSIDE THE APP YOU WILL USE THIS PAYPAL SANDBOX LOGIN.

STEP 2: Download and install the app Weight Wager App.

Android Smartphone users (Google Play Store Beta - allows you to install the app before it is released to the public). Your phone will question you to confirm that you really want to install a pre-release app. You just need to answer yes/ok to everything and hit 'Install' and at the end of that sequence of screens - it will install like a normal app.
