Highrise 5.0 Beta: Play It First!

HighriseNov 2, 2026

Hello! Highrise 5.0 is a whole new version of the Highrise app, rebuilt on our own custom engine, and you get to play it before everyone else.

What to expect
Our goal for this first version is to match everything Highrise does today. The changes are under the hood, so you won’t see new features yet, and it should feel like the Highrise you already know. If anything works differently from the store app or is missing, that’s a bug, and we want to hear about it.

Your account
The beta runs on the same live servers as the Highrise app from the App Store and Google Play. You log in with your regular account, and anything you do in the beta happens on that account. It should work exactly like the store app, except that in-app purchases are turned off.

Get the beta on iPhone / iPad

  1. Download TestFlight from the App Store.
  2. Open Join the Highrise 2 beta - TestFlight - Apple

Get the beta on Android

  1. Open play.google.com/apps/testing/com.pz.life2.android and tap “Become a tester”.
  2. Install the app from the Google Play link on that page.
    Use the same Google account your phone’s Play Store uses. The app can take a few minutes to show up after you join. It installs as its own app, so your regular Highrise stays on your phone too.

Sharing feedback
Make a new post in the HR Discord: Discord
Tag it bug, crash, or idea. The most helpful reports include:
• your device and OS version (e.g. iPhone 15, iOS 18)
• what you were doing when it happened
• what you expected and what happened instead
• a screenshot or screen recording if you can grab one

Please keep it to one issue per post. If someone already posted the same bug, react to their post or reply with your device, so we can see how many people it hits.

Thank you!
