Based on my own experience building indie games I'd recommend these Reddit and Slack channels for beta testing:
Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AlphaAndBetaUsers
https://www.reddit.com/r/playmygame
https://www.reddit.com/r/indiegameswap/
https://www.reddit.com/r/freegames
Slack:
https://www.hamsterpad.com/chat/hashtaggaming
https://www.hamsterpad.com/chat/gamedevelopment
https://www.hamsterpad.com/chat/indie-game-devs
Also, just give it to your friends and family and you can record their interactions with it using something like: https://www.lookback.io/
Finally, some paid options include:
https://www.usertesting.com
http://ubertesters.com/
https://betafamily.com/
If you want to discuss how best to design customer interviews / questionnaires for your specific app, to assess what you need to change, what to keep, etc. feel free to send me a message,
best,

Where can I find programmers willing to join a growing mobile start up for equity only?
You won't find anyone worth adding to your team willing to work for equity only, no matter how compelling your product and business is. The realities of the talent market for mobile developers anywhere is such that a developer would be foolish to work only for equity unless they are a cofounder and have double digit equity. Happy to talk about hiring and alternatives to full-time hires.TW

iOS App: Beta vs Launch Quietly?
I would suggest launching in a foreign app store only (ex: Canada). That will allow you to get more organic users to continue iterating without a big push. I got this idea from Matt Brezina (Founder of Sincerely, previously Xobni) https://clarity.fm/brezina - he's the man when it comes to testing & iterating mobile apps.DM

Any opinions on raising money on Indiegogo for an app?
Apps are difficult to fund on IndieGoGo as few are successful, and we rarely take them on as clients. Websites like http://appsfunder.com/ are made for that very reason, but again, difficult to build enough of a following willing to pay top dollar for an app that could very well be free, already existing in the marketplace. A site that is gaining more traction you may want to look into would be http://appsplit.com/. Again, Appsplit Is Crowdfunding For Apps specifically.RM

If I am planning to launch a mobile app, do I need to register as a company before the launch?
I developed and published mobile apps as an individual for several years, and only formed a corporation later as things grew and it made sense. As far as Apple's App Store and Google Play are concerned, you can register as an individual developer without having a corporation. I'd be happy to help further over a call if you have any additional questions. Best of luck with your mobile app!AM
