Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Can't download the android beta app :(

I just recieved an email with a link to the new android skritter beta app, but the link does not work.

When I click the skritter Chinese link(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.inkren.skritter.chinese)

I get to a "not found" page.

Hey DaXia,glad the beta e-mail made it to you. Google handles beta testing in a very particular way so you'll be unable to directly click the download link. Give the e-mail another quick look, the two really important steps are joining the Skritter Beta Testers community and then accepting the tester permissions.

After that you should be able to visit the Play Store link directly, supposing you're logged in using the account you joined the community with. If you're still unable to let me know and we'll figure it out. Thanks!

Duh, I read the email too fast. I thought I only had to be a skritter beta tester :P Thanks!

I've just joined Skritter and would like to become a beta tester for the Android app, but when I click on the appropriate link from the Blog, it doesn't work. How do I join the beta tester community? Thanks!

@billleverett, It's actually a few links you have to click in a specific order from your Android device.

1.) Join the Skritter Beta Tester community.

3.) Click one of the following links from your device to start downloading the latest build.
