Steps how to participate in the "Hire Testers" Program

1. Signup

Ubertesters Inc. "Join the Uber League of Testers!" - “How to become a tester”. “All you need is a smartphone or tablet, some previous experience in QA, and some free time to do the testing”.

2. Connect Your Smartphone and Tablet Devices and install the Testing App

Ubertesters Inc. Dashboard "Beta" / Ubertesters Inc. Dashboard "Beta" for Mobile Devices- “Visit on your device”. Login website for registered testers ( also ) with smartphone devices.
My Experience:
- Smartphone app Google Play "Ubertesters".
- ~~The “Uebertesters.apk” is not available by a public Android appstore, but just by the website~~.
  - Usually, calling beta.ubertesters.com/m offers you the download. The download is stored at “Phone storage / MyFavorite / Download / Ubertesters.apk”.
  - With my Android 4.1.1 tablet, instead the iOS app was offered for download. I was able to install “Ubertesters.apk” by transfering the download from another smartphone for which the download was offered.
