I like testing and playing games for them. The instructions are very clear and I get paid quickly. ### 5/5 — very honest *2026-06-22, version 4.1.0* i like my experience and u can trust this ### 5/5 — What's not to love? *2026-06-21, version 4.1.0* Getting paid to test new games?! It's not just easy money, it's also interesting and fun. I only wish there were more playtests. I just $10USD/hr to play a game I really enjoyed. ### 5/5 — Playtester *2026-06-21, version 4.1.0* I have been testing games on and off for many years, I have never had any issues with PlaytestCloud. Always receiving my payments, as per the test. I recommend anyone thinking of starting to test through them to do it .. ### 5/5 — Legit and pays out more than others *2026-06-21, version 4.1.0* I had my doubts with this app since you don’t get play tests that often. But when I tried it out, it really does pay, and not too badly. (YOU DO HAVE TO TALK AND FILM YOUR SCREEN DURING SOME PLAYTESTS). It’s actually not that bad. I just talk to myself and that works! You can get rewards from $2-$13 USD (I’m not sure if $13 is the maximum I haven’t received any higher offer), depending on the time you play. And you actually test out games and give out your reviews like a professional! It feels nice. ### 5/5 — Games for pay *2026-06-21, version 4.1.0* Best payout, even though it’s not much it adds up. I am a long player and I don’t have anything negative about it. it’s content and testing is top tier. I love it here. ### 5/5 — A really fun way to make some cash! *2026-06-13, version 4.1.0* I just made my first cash out playing a game I had a fun time testing. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-06-13, version 4.1.0* Easy to follow rules and good pay for the time ### 4/5 — Hard to be eligible but is nice *2026-06-12, version 4.1.0* It is hard to be eligible for all tests but it is still nice since at the end of the day you are testing games and having fun. I highly recommend and hope y’all get accepted to as many tests as you can. ### 5/5 — Long time tester *2026-06-09, version 4.1.0* Realised I’ve never reviewed… been with PlaytestCloud for years always love the playtests and giving my feedback , the interviews and focus groups having my lil input into the games . Can’t wait to test and talk more ### 5/5 — Free time well spent *2026-06-08, version 4.1.0* Like the title states, this is a great way to spend some free time and be compensated for the investment. The platform makes it real easy to follow instructions so you’ll make the best use of said time. Easy to follow instructions and help if needed. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in testing and a plus thats its kid inclusive. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-05-31, version 4.0.0* I have been using playtest cloud for several years now.. There great to work with and payments are always on time 😎👍🏾 ### 2/5 — Takes sooo long *2026-05-30, version 4.0.0* I signed up in Jan and I have still not got a play test yet. ### 5/5 — Love PlayTest *2026-05-28, version 4.0.0* I absolutely love giving my input on the games. I am not looking to strike it rich but I would love to do more. ### 4/5 — Really glad to be part of it 😁 *2026-05-27, version 4.0.0* I’ve been with Play test Cloud for long time ( yes I should’ve done this review sooner 😅) and I get it there was few weeks or even months that I haven’t got selected for a play test . However , its all part of the fun ! Am really enjoying it and really grateful for it . I give it 4 stars just because of the long time with no play test otherwise it would be 5 for sure 😁 Hopefully I’ll update this one day 🤷🏻‍♂️😁 ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-23, version 4.0.0* Great I love this app ### 5/5 — Hooray i got moneys *2026-05-22, version 4.0.0* Yayyyy ### 4/5 — Solid *2026-05-20, version 4.0.0* Been using for a couple months. Everything seems pretty legit and simple so far. Wish there were more opportunities though, and higher pay. Only made $13 in 3 months. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2026-05-19, version 4.0.0* Really good app, ideal for making that extra money. Support is always on point and quick. Would recommend ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sсаm! *2026-06-21, version 4.1.0* Did multiple jobs for them. than tried to withdraw money. Got banned and they don't answer emails. DON'T WORK FOR THIS COMPANY! ### 1/5 — Play tests book out instantly *2026-05-14, version 4.0.0* Really wish I could use this app for playtesting, every time a playtest is apparently ready. I apply ASAP and yet I’m never able to get a spot. Maybe bots maybe I’m just not fast enough. But I’ve been trying for a few weeks now and still haven’t gotten a single playtest. ### 1/5 — Nothing worked except the microphone *2026-02-08, version 3.24.1* I couldn’t get past the first demo. It was completely pitch black I couldn’t see anything except that the record on microphone worked ok. Absolute rubbish for me, probably great for others. ### 1/5 — Fix the bugs so we don’t waste our time *2025-11-01, version 3.21.0* Used to be a great way to playtest and earn a few bucks, but the past few tests I’ve completed do not upload and therefore I do not get paid even though I completed everything. It used to work flawlessly in the browser before they switched to the app. Don’t waste your time until they get this fixed. ### 1/5 — Microphone *2025-10-02, version 3.20.0* I keep trying to make it work but I cant ### 1/5 — Terrible Experience After Years of Loyalty *2025-06-22, version 3.17.4* • You might never qualify for a playtest even after completing surveys • Time‑sensitive invites often arrive at random time zones when you’re asleep • Slots vanish within minutes once someone else confirms • Tests can be canceled at the last moment • You can complete and submit a full 30–60 minute test and still receive no payment and no explanation ### 1/5 — Do I have to be a no-lifer or young child? *2025-04-25, version 3.16.1* It seems like for the past 2-3 months I have not gotten 1 PlaytestCloud after I missed a few & changes my settings to 15-20hrs a week. Multiple devices available, & I selected 5-7 games I play or played. Seems like they only give PlaytestCloud’s only to people who have 40hrs a week to play. Done with this app. Was fun while it lasted ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-03-31, version 3.15.3* Everytime time they send me an offer to playtest, I start it right away and they tell me all slots are filled… Why even invite me if I can’t participate. Keeps happening ### 1/5 — The test payments got lower *2025-03-27, version 3.15.3* I used to enjoy doing tests to make some money. But the recent gaming tests have all become too long with lower payouts. It’s clear it’s becoming more of an exploitative platform as kids do not have coverage as adults. I am disappointed, a good app has fallen. ### 1/5 — Nothing to test *2025-03-18, version 3.15.3* I’ve been invited to test my first game..I’ve answered to the survey and said I would be available for the date and time mentioned. Still waiting for something to happen.. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fast pay *2026-08-23, version 4.2.0* This for real payed me 10 ponds by spending 30 minutes testing their game ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-08-14, version 4.2.0* I sign up my kids are they are enjoying testing new technology and new ideas from developers. The platform is transparent and their support responds swiftly. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-13, version 4.2.0* Great app to do playtests. Always have gotten my payouts in a timely manner. Great communication when you have an issue. ### 5/5 — Playtester Tee *2026-08-05, version 4.1.0* I have been testing games on and off for many years, I have never had any issues with PlaytestCloud. Always receiving my payments, as per the test. I recommend anyone thinking of starting to test through them to do it .. ### 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.

Will definitely test more 😄😄 ### 5/5 — Playtest *2026-06-25, version 4.1.0* This is a great way to make a little money from testing games --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
