Test my app: real people, honest reports.

You've been staring at your app for weeks and you can't see it anymore. Post it on the wall and makers who don't know it go through it cold, the way your first users will, then write down everything that tripped them up.

Why asking around doesn't work

Friends say it looks great. A post in a subreddit gets two upvotes and a comment about your logo. An AI review agrees with whatever you wrote in the prompt. None of them clicked through sign-up on a phone at 11pm and got stuck on the second screen.

Testers here have a reason to be specific: you rate their report, and that rating decides how many testers they get on their own project.

What you get back

  • A written report from each tester: what they tried, what broke, each problem with a severity.
  • Screenshots and steps when something fails, so you can reproduce it.
  • A first impression from someone who isn't you: what they thought the app was for, and where they would have quit.
  • Once you fix things, a new round: fresh testers on the new version, the same ones too if they want.

Write a brief that gets you good reports

  1. 1Say who the app is for and the one thing a new user should manage to do.
  2. 2Point at what you're unsure about: onboarding, pricing, a new feature.
  3. 3Give test credentials or a coupon in the private brief if anything is behind a paywall.
  4. 4Say what you don't need feedback on yet, so nobody spends ten minutes on your placeholder logo.

Questions

What kind of apps can I post?
Web apps, SaaS, websites, iOS, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux apps, side projects. If someone can open it or install it from a link, it can go on the wall.
How many people will test my app?
Up to 3 per round when you start, up to 8 once you've tested other projects and earned good ratings. You can reopen a new round after you've shipped fixes.
Can I keep my app private?
The project card is public, but the private brief (credentials, install steps, anything sensitive) is only shown to testers who claim your project.
Is Makers Wall really free?
Yes. There is nothing to pay and no card to add. You pay in tests instead: each report you write for another maker earns 20 credits, and 20 credits unlock a full report on your project.
Who tests my project?
Other makers with projects on the wall. They are good at spotting broken flows, confusing copy and bugs. They are probably not your target customers, so treat their reports as a sharp first pass before launch, not as market research.
What if a report is lazy?
You see an excerpt before you unlock it. Once it's unlocked you can accept and rate it, or request changes once with a message. Ratings follow testers around: a report that says "nice app!" earns a low one.
