Some kids play video games all summer. Some kids scroll.
Some kids discover a passion that changes the way they see the world. 📸 This summer, let’s hand them a camera and teach them how to tell stories.

🚨 The We Are Grant County Android App is now entering testing on the Google Play Store! 🚨

First off, thank you to everyone who has supported this project, signed up inside the app, shared posts, encouraged the vision, and believed in building something positive for our community. Because of your support, I’m opening the testing phase to the FIRST 100 users who would like to help test the app before the official public launch.

You can join the Android test here:
https://play.google.com/apps/internaltest/4701714287749239920

A quick note: during this testing phase, Google may still display the app under a temporary or different name. This is normal and will eventually update to officially display as “We Are Grant County Ky.”

🍎 Apple/iPhone testing is also currently in the works and will be available soon.

Inside the app you’ll find:
📅 Local events
🏢 Businesses & organizations
🎙 Podcasts
📖 Digital magazine
🛍 Yard sales
📍 Community information
…and much more.

If you decide to help test the app, I would truly appreciate your feedback. Thoughts, ideas, bugs, issues, or suggestions can be sent through Facebook Messenger or emailed to:
📧 [email protected]

This project has always been about creating a positive, organized place centered around Grant County and the people who make this community special.

Thank you all again for the support. 🐸
