Terms of use for testers

Version of November 9, 2026Updated

This English text is a translation. The French version is the binding one.

Version of 9 November 2026.

1. Purpose

These terms govern the use of Peerbeta by people who test Android apps. Peerbeta is a beta testing platform published by Yvhan MOUAFO YO EI (see the legal notice). If you also have your own apps tested, the developer terms apply to that activity.

2. Definitions

  • Peerbeta, we: the publisher of the service and the service itself.
  • Tester, you: the person who tests apps on Peerbeta.
  • Developer: the person who has their app tested.
  • Test: the campaign for an app, 14 days long (7 days for an update test), possibly extended.
  • Seat: your place in a test.
  • Tester app: Peerbeta's Android app that checks your opens and collects your feedback.
  • Daily mission: the short action asked of you each day in the app under test.
  • Feedback: your structured answers on day 1, day 7 and day 14, with any bugs and screenshots.
  • Credits: the points earned by testing.

3. Acceptance and version

You accept these terms by signing up as a tester. The version in force is dated at the top of the page. Peerbeta keeps the date and the version you accepted.

4. Who can test

  • You are at least 18 years old.
  • You sign in with your Google account, the one you use in the Play Store on your phone.
  • You have only one Peerbeta account.
  • You join Peerbeta's testers Google group, once.
  • You install the tester app on a real Android phone of your own. Emulators, modified devices (rooted, for example) and any way of fooling the Play Integrity check are prohibited.
  • Your profile information (languages, country, device) is accurate. Do not fake your country, with a VPN for example.

5. How a test runs

  1. You receive an invitation or pick a compatible test in the catalog, then accept it.
  2. You join the closed test through the opt-in link and install the app from the Play Store. You have 48 hours to install an accepted seat; after that, the seat is released.
  3. During the test, you open the app every day from the tester app and do the daily mission (a few minutes).
  4. You send your feedback on day 1, day 7 and day 14.
  5. You keep the app installed until the end of the test.

In a circle, you test the other members' apps during the same period; the stated effort is about 20 to 30 minutes a day.

6. Rules of conduct

  • Real use: you really use the app, every day, as the mission asks.
  • Honest feedback, written by you: you describe what you saw, with concrete details. No copying other feedback, no generic text, no text produced by a tool in your place.
  • Nothing public: you leave no review and no rating on the tested app's Play Store listing, and you do not talk about the app publicly during the test.
  • Confidentiality: tested apps, their features and test accounts are confidential. You do not share them, do not publish screenshots and use a test account only for the test.
  • Respect for the app: you do not try to decompile the app, bypass its protections or use it against its users.
  • Respect for people: you stay courteous with developers and the Peerbeta team.

7. Feedback checks

Each piece of feedback is checked before it earns credits: length and detail rules, comparison with other feedback, contradiction detection and, when available, review by an AI (Claude, by Anthropic). The result is "accepted", "to review" or "refused".

  • Feedback marked "to review" is decided by a person on the team.
  • A refusal is told to you, with its reason.
  • You can contest a refused piece of feedback once, with a message. A person reviews it again; that decision is final.
  • The developer can mark feedback "useful" or "not useful", which moves your reputation.

8. Credits

  • Credits are not money. They have no monetary value, are not sold, cannot be exchanged, transferred or refunded.
  • You earn them by testing: verified install and day-1 feedback, verified active days, accepted day-7 and day-14 feedback, completing the test, quality bonus. The scale is shown in the service and may change for future tests.
  • Under the rules shown, they are used to publish an app in the credit queue, to move up in a circle or to add seats.
  • They expire 12 months after they are earned.
  • Peerbeta may adjust them to correct an error. Feedback refused after being paid takes back the credits it earned.
  • They are cancelled in case of fraud, and lost when the account is deleted.

Testing is neither a job nor a paid service. You receive no salary and no payment in money.

9. Levels and reputation

Your level and reputation depend on the tests you complete, the quality of your feedback and developers' opinions. They decide which tests you can access and how many seats you can hold at once.

10. Sanctions

Automatic sanctions show in your tester space and in the tester app; those the team decides are announced to you with their reason.

Applied automatically by the service:

  • seat accepted but not installed within 48 hours: the seat is released, with no other consequence;
  • days without opening the app under test: a reminder on the 1st day, a warning on the 2nd, the seat becomes "at risk" on the 3rd; on the 4th day without an open, the seat is lost, as for dropping the test after installing: the credits earned on that test are taken back (up to your available balance) and your reputation drops by 10 points;
  • second drop, or second seat lost for inactivity, within 90 days: in addition, a 14-day suspension;
  • dropping a seat in a circle: you leave the circle and cannot join another one for 60 days;
  • careless, copied or generated feedback: feedback refused, no credits (you can appeal it once, section 7); feedback the developer finds "not useful" lowers your reputation by 3 points.

Your level follows the tests you carried to the end and your reputation (section 9): a falling reputation can lower your level.

Decided by a person on the team, after an alert from the fraud check or a report, for fraud or a serious breach (several accounts, emulator, modified device, fake activity, copied feedback, public review):

  • warning: your reputation drops by 5 points;
  • suspension: 14 days by default, from 1 to 365 days depending on how serious it is; your reputation drops by 15 points; your seats in progress stay;
  • ban: your tester account is closed, your seats in progress end and your available credits are cancelled.

During a suspension, you cannot accept a new seat; it ends on its own on its date. Peerbeta may also adjust your credits, with a reason, to correct a mistake or a fraud.

You can contest a sanction by replying to the message that announces it, or at [email protected]: a person on the team reviews it again.

11. What Peerbeta does not do

  • Tested apps belong to their developers. They are test versions, which may contain bugs. Peerbeta reviews them before the test but does not guarantee they work.
  • Peerbeta does not guarantee a number of tests or credits.
  • Peerbeta is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google. Google Play and Android are trademarks of Google LLC.

12. Liability

Peerbeta is liable for its faults in providing the service. Peerbeta is not liable for damage caused by a tested app, which is its developer's responsibility. Keep a backup of your data. If a tested app causes a security problem or damages your phone, uninstall it and write to us at [email protected]. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that the law does not allow to be excluded.

13. Suspension and termination

  • You can leave a test, or delete your account at any time from Account › Privacy. Your credits are then lost.
  • Peerbeta may suspend or close your account in the cases of section 10, giving its reason.

14. Personal data

Your account, device and activity data are described in the privacy policy. The developer sees your feedback under a tester number, never your name or email address.

15. Intellectual property

You keep your rights in your feedback. You grant Peerbeta and the developer of the tested app a non-exclusive, free, worldwide right to use, reproduce, translate, summarize and quote it, in particular in the report and in the production access application, for the full duration of the rights. You confirm that your feedback and screenshots are your own.

The tested app, its screens and content remain the property of its developer. The service and the Peerbeta brand belong to the publisher.

16. Changes to these terms

Peerbeta may change these terms. The new version is dated and published on this page. For a significant change, you are notified by email or in the service at least 30 days before it takes effect. If you refuse it, you can delete your account before that date.

17. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by French law. If a problem arises, write first to [email protected] to seek an amicable solution. You keep the protection of the mandatory rules of your country of residence and the right to go to the competent court.
