Description
Currently, alpha/development/test versions are released on https://redreader.org/alpha/ and F-Droid, both of which require allowing the installation of apps from "untrusted sources", which may be considered a security risk.
To reach a bigger audience (thus more testers), these builds could also be released on Google Play, which allows users to opt-in for beta versions of an app they have already installed: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/3131213?hl=en#open_beta
I don't know if it's worth the additional work for you but I think this could be beneficial for both users and you as a developer.
