So how can you make money from testing apps exactly?
Before an app is published to the public, the developer needs to make sure that it is user friendly and there is no bugs or errors. The easiest way to find if the app has any issues is to have real people test the app. However on the other hand, of course the developers will not want to risk getting any negative feedbacks or rating from the real live users, especially if it is a paid app. So the solution is to have people test their apps before they release it to the public. And for that reason app testing websites like elusive stars, userlytics exist.
For example
Let’s say the developers of Clash of Clans create a new game app. They want to test the app to see if there is any issues before they publish the app to public so they go to one of app testing websites, register as developer, post the project and get real feedbacks from real live users like you and me.
