Minecraft Pocket Edition: Android Beta Program Signups

Interested in signing up for Pocket Edition beta testing on your Android device? Now is the time to start signing up for it! Mojang is looking for good beta testers, and you can apply!

Quote from Mojang »
Today, we’re launching a beta for Minecraft Pocket Edition that’s open to anyone who’s bought the game through Google Play on an Android device. You’ll be able to help with testing and give feedback about new features in future versions of Pocket Edition.

To join the beta program, apply to the Minecraft PE Test Group and follow the instructions listed there. Your app will still be updated with the final version of Pocket Edition whether you’re in the beta or not, so don’t worry if you want to quit the beta later down the line.

While playing a beta release, it will not be compatible with current version of Pocket Edition. If you go from a beta version back to a final version, the world may be corrupted. Beta version worlds will always work with the final release.

We’re hoping to get the 0.8.0 version out before Christmas.

It's no secret that many players have been anxious to get their hands on an Android version of Pocket Edition, and the beta signup certainly points to a release on the popular handheld device in the near future. Awesome!

I'm interested in what's different. are there patch notes? is it a completely different make of the game?

As whats been said its the same thing...... its just snapshots like we can do on PC version. Everytime there going to be a new update the beta testers get to check out the new update before it goes live and help find bugs

This post kind of confused me, it sounded like PE was about to be released on Android but I've had it on Android for a while...

Hmm, haven't seen a post for PE since july. Well, for PC gamers, Pocket edition is about to reach the next level when 0.8.0 and 0.9.0 arrives.

This whole comment is very misleading. It makes it sound like there hasn't been a PE version for Android yet. But the Android PE version was (to my knowledge) the first PE version ever to be released, like 2 years ago. It's been around longer than any of them. The only thing that's "new" is this "beta" program for future updates to it.

Either I'm totally missing something here, or Sacheverell is very confused.

He is probably a ios player and wasn't aware that there was a android version for years.

So I guess the android version I've been playing for the past year is a alpha build? I never noticed really.

Yeah, but this guy said it in a way like it's coming. Ugh, shows how much the admins care about the pocket edition, it gets neglected to much.

Currently not interested in PE until the full version comes out (I still updated my PE though when a new update comes out).
It's great to see that Mojang is taking the right steps towards that direction

Like just about everyone else here, I applied within minutes of this being announced and have yet to get a response.

And yes, it appears that whoever posted this article is very uninformed.

It accepted me on the first day so maybe it just doesnt want to accept you. Thats why we get accepted instead of just downloading it. During the process it probably decided that you werent worthy.
