The pricing looks good for startups and the fact that you incentivise testers for writing good test reports - win-win for all. A question though: I see this page: http://imgur.com/KCwmVUl Can you tell me what does "Twitter - Test, part of WeChat family" means? Is this an official Twitter client? But what is its relationship with WeChat?

@dotmanish Hi, some people test other peoples app. We will add abuse functionality for "fake tests" it is in our backlog.

@jeevium You should check out the guys at Fire Starter Videos for a really well done, cost effective explainer video.
Chris Wilson
@jeevium In fact, if you provide me with your email I can get you in touch with someone there that might provide an additional incentive.
Axel Nordenström
@jeevium Thanks! I used pen and paper to draw the guys. And the video was created together with my friend David Lamm, using After Effects. Music and voiceover were created by Oskar Rydelius from http://www.soundproof.se/.

Looks like a great service for testers and developers! I'm having trouble applying for a test though - I keep hitting an error page when I click "Apply".

How are you sourcing these beta testers right now, @axelnom?
Axel Nordenström
@rrhoover Hi! Anyone can sign up to become a tester, after the test they are rated, so eventually, you will know who are the best testers. A lot of app owners use Beta Family with their own testers and our community of testers. Some of the invited testers will also stay in the community and test other peoples apps. That is how we grow. Cheers!

We've recently launched two Android apps and used #betafamily for testing and successfully ran two rounds of testing. I like that we can target testers by country, age, gender and device version. If you compare that to all the beta and start up submission list I prefer this.

It’s impossible to enroll any iOS device running iOS 11 Beta on your service, on the other hand I didn’t have any problems to enroll all devices in a Beta program this morning, but they use TestFlight.

Definitely a need here. Any plans to allow the Beta Family to take a run at bots or websites?
Axel Nordenström
@chrisbuttenham Hi Chris, yes we are planning on release Website testing during 2018. But we do believe we need to take the app testing experience to the next level first :D

I'd be interested to hear how much "money a quality tester" can make, as per the "browse tests" page on the website.
Axel Nordenström
@theashtube A lot of tests are without a reward, and people do test because they find the apps interesting. For the paid tests most have a reward level of $5-$15. And takes about 20-60 minutes to test.

@axelnom Cool, thanks for the info. So on that basis I would assume that the majority of your userbase are from regions where the dollar = a lot of money. In these regions, Android seems to be a lot more popular, as you can get a cheap Android device in India now for a very small price which can handle most apps. Do you find that you get a lot more Android testers than Apple testers because of this?
Axel Nordenström
@theashtube Funny thing is that this is not the case. Well, we have some testers doing it only for the money, but a lot of testers are just early adopters loving to test new things. The testers don't have Beta Family as their only income, it's more of an extra job. Our biggest market and amount of testers today, are living in USA. We have about 50/50 iOS and Android tests.
Product Pearson
@axelnom Awesome, thanks for the insight Axel. And good luck with the further expansion of Beta Family.

Hey Axel, Our product is a web app. Can we beta-test it with your tool? Thanks!

what strangely shaped heads these people have...
Axel Nordenström
@wloundy Cute huh?
Michelle Grant
Cool, guys! Sometimes it is so difficult to find beta-testers. My congratulations with launch!

Does it work only for android apps? Are you going to offer it for chrome extensions too?
Luke Wheatle
@barak_landau I recently had my android app tested by testers on beta family
Axel Nordenström
@barak_landau Hi! At this point we support iOS and Android apps. Website testing to be released next year.

Is it just me if this website is broken? Bought a plan. Contact and support buttons don't work...
