What was the most surprising feedback you received during beta testing?
Beta testing is a critical phase for any product, offering real users the chance to engage with the product before its official launch. During this stage, developers often receive valuable insights about usability, features, and overall experience. However, sometimes the feedback can be unexpected—whether it’s a feature users loved that wasn’t on the roadmap, a bug that had a major impact, or feedback that made the team rethink a core assumption.
I’d love to hear from product creators or beta testers—what feedback during beta testing caught you off guard? Did it change the direction of the product, or was it something you hadn’t anticipated but ultimately found invaluable? Feel free to share your experiences!

Well, during beta testing, one user said our app's color scheme made them feel sleepy! We didn't expect any feedback about colors affecting mood. It was quite surprising and funny. But we took it seriously and adjusted the colors to be more energetic and lively.

During beta testing, I was shocked to find users misinterpreting the main feature of my app.
Definitely the funniest feedback was when a user said our onboarding flow made them feel like they were being interrogated by the FBI! 😂 We thought we had created a friendly, welcoming experience but apparently it came across as pretty intense. Had to go back to the drawing board on that one to lighten things up while still getting the info we needed from new users.
