### 5/5 — Good Playtest Site

*2026-07-31*

PlaytestCloud has many things to offer and it does deliver on those pretty well. It took around 2 weeks for me to get my first playtest after accepting every survey, which will more than likely increase the better rep you gain for completing game tests. 
If there was one gripe I’d have to say It’d be the recording process. I personally don’t like the recording having me press the button, my screen is shared and it recording me exiting playtest cloud into steam or the game of choice.
Maybe a 3s delay for the recording to start, a way to vanish the mic overlay or have the overlay require a double/triple tap to be interacted with would be nice. Also, a way to trim/remove the last 3/5/7s off of a recording so the recording isn’t showing me pressing the record button and other stuff, but that’s just personal preference. I could also see the recording button be moved to where the mic overlay is on and require a hold to start/end. 
(I’d suppose on the app you’d enter a “gaming” mode that shows the mic overlay and recording button.)

As an aspiring game dev, I think it’d be an interesting investment for PlaytestCloud if devs were able to send them play tests that can then be sent over for play testers. Maybe that’s already a thing and I didn’t see it or it’s just not advertised as such.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review and the feedback! We'll take it onboard for the future and if there is anything else you can chat to us about it at help@playtestcloud.com!

### 5/5 — Great for quick deposits

*2026-07-01, version 4.1.0*

It’s a really fun way to earn for snacks or something for your day-to-day travels like if you need Bus fare it does work. It’s great to indulge in especially if you’re a gamer. I definitely recommend the surveys are really fun and Taylor to Your normal plays.

### 5/5 — Play testing

*2026-06-30*

It is fun to be able to test out game concepts and provide your feedback on what works, what doesn’t, what elements make sense, what don’t, etc and get rewarded for it. Tests aren’t always easy, can sometimes be boring, or can be your newest favorite go to game, but the point is that you never know what to expect, and if you like trying new things and providing input, it’s a fun and easy way to make money and test new game ideas that are developing.

**Developer response:** Thanks for this balanced review. If we can ever help you with a playtest or your profile please get in touch at help@playtestcloud.com
