What is human app testing?

Human app testing is the process of having real people install and use your app on physical devices to find bugs, UX issues, and crashes before you submit to the App Store or Google Play. Unlike automated testing, humans catch interaction problems, confusing flows, and device-specific issues that scripts cannot detect.

How much does app testing cost?

AppTester.co's human testing starts at $19 for the Starter plan (3 testers, 48-hour turnaround). Pro is $49 (5 testers, 24 hours) and Team is $99 (10 testers, 12 hours). The App Health Check is completely free with no account required.

How do I avoid App Store rejection?

The most common rejection reasons are missing privacy policy, excessive permissions, crashes on launch, debug builds, and missing iOS privacy manifests. Run a free App Health Check on AppTester.co to detect these before submission.

How long does app testing take?

The free App Health Check returns results in under 30 seconds. Human testing is delivered within 48 hours on the Starter plan, 24 hours on Pro, and 12 hours on Team.

How can I earn money testing apps?

Apply as a tester at AppTester.co. You need a physical Android or iOS device, an internet connection, and the ability to write clear bug reports. Pay ranges from $5 to $35 per test. Most active testers earn $150–$500 per month.

What is an App Health Score?

The App Health Score is a 0–100 score calculated from 9 automated checks covering permissions, privacy policy, iOS privacy manifest, build mode, binary signing, metadata, SDK tracking, and network security. Above 80 is healthy; below 60 indicates high rejection risk.

Is the App Health Check really free?

Yes. The App Health Check is completely free. No account, no credit card, no usage limits. Upload your app file and get results in under 30 seconds.

What does the App Health Check look for?

The check covers 9 areas: app icon completeness, privacy policy URL presence, permissions audit, SDK version requirements, binary signing and integrity, build mode (debug vs release), iOS privacy manifest (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy), metadata completeness, third-party tracker SDKs, and network security configuration.

What is a good App Health Score?

A score of 80 or above is considered healthy and suggests the app is ready for store submission. A score between 60–79 means some issues need attention. Below 60 indicates a high risk of rejection: all failing checks should be addressed before submitting.

Does the Health Check replace human testing?

No. The Health Check catches structural and compliance issues automatically. It does not detect UX problems, crashes on specific devices, or interaction bugs. Human testing is the complement: real testers on real devices find what automated tools cannot.
