### 3/5 — I don’t get any test

*2025-12-13*

For some reason I don’t get any test at all. I went through the whole process of getting approved. After that I got a request that was already passed it due date and now I don’t get any test. I did my profile too. What am I doing wrong or missing

### 1/5 — Nunca vem o teste de entrada

*2023-08-16*

Já faz dois dias que me cadastrei e sigo esperando o teste de entrada. Sem isso, não está me servindo de nada o app, então dou uma estrela até que receba algum teste…

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer any real test projects in Brazil at the moment, so we do not want to bother you with the entry test. As soon as this changes, you will receive an invitation. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at TestbirdsAppSupport@testbirds.de. We are happy to help. Thank you for your patience and understanding and have a great day.

### 3/5 — Not so much one can do

*2021-10-21*

I am happy an app exists, kudos to Testbirds. Having used this app for quite some time now I have noticed certain things I find niggling.

1. When you tap on a notification directly and it takes you to the app most times you’d have to log in again. 2. The app is constantly logging me out. 3. Sometimes the bottom menu completely disappears from the screen. 4. Tapping the notification bell and navigating to notifications page/tab doesn’t show my notifications. All I get is an error and a retry button which also when tapped tries to load the notifications but errors out again.

Things I would like to see.
1. Being able to see comments in a task and also to reply them.
2. Since I am on the app, tapping a task should take me to the task description page then on that page there should be a button to go to the main site if I so choose. This will be better than the current feature where it asks you to choose opening the task in app or externally.
3. Being able to submit ”saved for later” reports.

**Developer response:** Dear 健地, Thank you very much for your constructive feedback! We will take your input into account and are already working on implementing parts of your suggestions. Best regards, your Testbirds Team

### 4/5 — Testbirds

*2021-10-14*

Eigentlich ist die App an sich super. Mitnimmst letzter Zeit treten öfter Fehler auf, die es nicht möglich machen, aktuelle Tests in der App einzusehen. Somit bin ich doch wieder auf die Website umgestiegen. Schade!

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Deine Rückmeldung und bitte entschuldige die Unannehmlichkeiten! Wir werden versuchen die Probleme so schnell wie möglich zu beheben und würden uns sehr freuen, wenn Du uns unterstützt indem Du uns eine Email mit Deinem Gerät und Deiner iOS Version sowie einer kurzen detaillierten Problembeschreibung an TestbirdsAppSupport@testbirds.de schickst.

### 5/5 — Really helpful tool

*2021-07-06*

Great app complementing the Nest!

### 1/5 — Unübersichtlich

*2021-04-25*

Kein Plan was man beim ersten Test machen soll

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Dein Feedback! Es tut uns leid, dass Du Dich auf unserer Online-Plattform nicht zurechtgefunden hast. Du kannst Dich bei Fragen jederzeit über die Nachrichtenfunktion innerhalb der Tests oder testunabhängig über den Menüpunkt Hilfe und dann Kontakt bei uns melden.

### 5/5 — Practical and lean app

*2021-03-19*

Nice set of tools, especially the screencasting feature and the notifications are very handy! Looking forward to more functions!

### 3/5 — Endlich eine App, aber Abstürze

*2020-10-27*

Die App sieht an sich schonmal gut aus und beinhaltet auf den ersten Blick alles wichtig. Nur Kann man nach nicht einmal 1 min ausprobieren schon Abstürze erzeugen die man immer wieder Reproduzieren kann. Es wäre sehr schön wenn es einen allgemeinen Test zur Verbesserung starten würde für alle App Nutzer um den Entwicklern mit unserem Feedback schneller und besser Helfen zu können.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Dein Feedback und bitte entschuldige die Unannehmlichkeiten! Wir arbeiten bereits daran und das Problem wird im Rahmen des nächsten Releases behoben sein. Solltest Du Interesse daran haben uns als Betatester zu unterstützen, würden wir uns sehr freuen, wenn Du uns eine kurze Nachricht an kontakt@testbirds.de schreibst.
