It works like this: Mob4Hire has over 800 testers worldwide that are willing to test your application for a fee. We are happy to provide you with a $200 Mob4Hire voucher that gives you access to these testers. What you test is up to you. You can see if your application works on a different handset or a different country for that matter. Perhaps you want some help debugging or maybe you just want some honest feedback in the form of a market research document. Testing is the next step to commercial viability and we take the pain out of mobile application testing!
All you have to do is email a brief description of your mobile application and what you would like to test. 50 words or less are fine and we will make a random draw every month for the next three months. (Each application can only win once during the duration of this particular contest). To see which handsets we have check out http://www.mob4hire.com/handsets.php or visit us at www.Mob4Hire.com
Please send applications to info@mob4hire.com with the title Mob4Hire Contest.
