Test your apps on iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. Use the following instructions to launch a mobile app test with UserTesting.
Step 1. Log in
Log into your UserTesting dashboard.
Step 2. Create a new study
Select the New dropdown from your dashboard, then select Create an unmoderated test.
Step 3. Select study type
Select Test an app.
Next, indicate whether you'd like feedback from the UserTesting Panel, a My Panel you've created, or your own participants (My Recruit). For this article, we'll be using the UserTesting Panel.
Since this is an app test, you'll need to upload the unreleased app file (IPA or APK), or link to your app in the App Store, Google Play, or TestFlight.
