App testing jobs from home: what app testers do and earn

The three kinds of app testing work

"App testing" is used for several jobs. Knowing which one you are looking at saves a lot of time:

Tapkoin offers the first kind: simple app tasks anyone with a phone can do.

What an app task looks like

A typical task card reads something like "Install this puzzle app, finish the tutorial and reach level 5, then upload a screenshot of the level screen". It shows:

• the payout in Tapkoins, with the USD value next to it;
• the proof needed: none, a screenshot, a short text, or both;
• the time limit after you claim it;
• whether the app partner confirms it automatically.

You install through the personal link the task gives you, so the partner knows the install came from you. Installing from the store search instead means the task cannot be credited.

How the work is checked

Some app partners report the event automatically, and the task is credited within minutes. Others need your screenshot, which a person checks, usually within 48 hours; if something is wrong, the note tells you why. Credits are then pending for 7 days so partners can confirm installs, and become withdrawable in USDT from 10,000 TPK (about $10.00). The full flow is in how micro tasks work.

Tips to get app tasks approved

• Read the whole task before claiming it, and only claim what you can finish in time.
• Use the task's own install link.
• Keep the app installed until the task is credited; uninstalling straight away can void it.
• Take the screenshot on the exact screen the task names, and crop out anything private.
• Do each task once per person, on your own device.

Fake app tester jobs

Real testing work is paid by the company that wants the testing. Offers that ask you to pay a registration fee, buy a "testing kit", or deposit money to unlock better-paid tests are scams, however professional they look. Run any offer through our 10-point real-or-fake check.
