How it works

Four steps. No invoices.

01
📦
List Your Project

Add your app with a direct link, a short pitch, and 2–3 focused tasks that pinpoint exactly what you need feedback on.

02
🔍
Review Other Builds

Pick a project from the directory, run through its missions honestly, and write a critique that actually helps the maker.

03
🪙
Pocket Your Credits

The maker reviews your submission. Once they sign off — or 48 hours pass — credits hit your balance automatically.

04
🚀
Attract Your Testers

Put your credits to work. Boost your listing, climb the directory, and pull in reviewers who speak your language.

Everything automated testing can't give you

A community that enforces quality at every step — because everyone's reputation is on the line

🤝
Built by Devs, for Devs

Every reviewer has shipped something. They know the difference between a broken flow and a design choice.

💸
No Budget Required

Your time is the admission ticket. Review thoroughly, earn credits, redeem them for reviews on your own work.

🛡️
Human-Only Critiques

Vague compliments are flagged and rejected. Every accepted review must reference specific screens, steps, or behaviors.

🎯
You Set the Agenda

Define up to three targeted missions per listing so reviewers focus on the exact flows that matter to you.

Owner-Gated Credits

You hold the key. Credits only transfer once you confirm the feedback is genuine — keeping quality high for everyone.

Instant Swap Mode

Skip the queue entirely. Pair up with another maker for a same-day, one-for-one review exchange.
