App Access

Google Play Review Access

✓ All functionality in this app is available without any access restrictions

TopStoryQ requires a simple, free account creation to access the app. Account sign-up is immediate and requires only an email address and password - no verification, no payment, and no special permissions needed. Once signed up (or logged in), all app features and content are fully accessible with no restrictions.

For Google Play Reviewers:

  1. Sign up for a free account - Tap "Sign Up" on the welcome screen, enter any email address and password (email verification is optional and can be skipped)
  2. Access all features immediately - Once signed up, you have full access to all app functionality without any restrictions
  3. No barriers or limitations - All quotes, stories, tournaments, settings, and features are accessible without subscription, payment, or additional verification

After login, reviewers have full access to:

  • Browse and view all quotes and stories (editorial and community content)
  • Access all tabs: Home feed, Reels, Tournaments, and Account settings
  • View tournament leaderboards and participate in tournaments
  • Like, save, and share content
  • Access all account settings and preferences
  • View subscription tiers (information only, no payment required for review)
  • All app navigation and features without any locked content

No restrictions apply after sign-up: There is no 2-step verification required, no location-based access restrictions, no membership or subscription barriers, and no actions required on other devices. The sign-up process takes less than 30 seconds, and immediately after account creation, the entire app experience is available for review.

Note: While account creation is required, it is completely free, immediate, and requires only basic information (email and password). All app functionality is available immediately after sign-up with no premium walls, subscription requirements, or content restrictions.
