What is TestFlight?
TestFlight is Apple’s tool for trying out apps before they’re released. Once invited, your team can install a test version of your app on their iPhones that looks and works just like the real thing. Android testers receive access to a test version through Google Play.
Getting access
Send your Customer Success Manager the names, email addresses and device types of everyone who’ll be testing
Each tester receives an email invitation
On iPhone: download the free TestFlight app from the App Store, open the email invitation, and tap install
On Android: follow the link in the invitation to install the test version
What to test
Register an account and sign in
Complete the verification process, if your app has exclusive content
Browse businesses, deals and events - check the details, imagery and wording
Ensure you're happy with your apps appearance and configuration
Try loyalty schemes, trails and competitions, if they’re in your package
Tap through any links to make sure they go to the right place
Spotted something?
Brilliant - that’s exactly what testing is for! When you report an issue, include what you did, what you expected to happen, what actually happened, the device you were using, and a screenshot if you can. Send it over to your Customer Success Manager and we’ll get it looked at.
A great demo tool
Your test app is one of the best tools you have for engaging businesses before launch. Showing a business their future profile – live, on a phone, in their own venue – is far more persuasive than any leaflet. Take it with you on business visits!
