"The best way to share the application build"

3.5/5

What do you like best about TestFlight?

1 ) Test Flight allows classification of testers as internal or external testers.

2 ) Test Flight doesn't require the UDID of the devices in which the application is supposed to be installed. Test flight just need the email id of the testers for sharing the application build to them,

3 ) When an application build is shared to a tester, he/she would be receiving an email notification for the same.

4 ) We can distribute the build to a maximum of 1000 users at a time.

5 ) The installation of test flight application in a device is also very easy.

6 ) The testers can send their feedbacks back to the developers.

7 ) Test Flight also provides a crash log to the developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestFlight?

Before it was taken over by Apple, we were able to use it for both android and iOS application. And after Apple takes the ownership of Test flight, they limited test flight only for the iOS applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TestFlight:

And now, the test flight comes with the heavy brand name label "Apple".

So expect the same level of quality as in iOS devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestFlight solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use test flight for sharing the build between the team mates as well as the customers.

The end to end users as well as the team mates test the build shared through test flight and figure out the issues before submitting the build to the app store. This helps us in preventing the issues being faced by the end to end users of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great way to test iOS app for public use"

4/5

What do you like best about TestFlight?

I've worked on the product testing end of TestFlight and it was great to see our app actually work and be able to navigate as if it were live. Whenever an update was available, TestFlight would send you an e-mail alerting you so you could have the most up to date experience with the app you were developing. Because of the nature of the software, it just supported the app you were using and you didn't have to use it as a portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestFlight?

Was a difficult process of getting connected with our app and test flight. I remember having to sign up for a couple things and having to click though a lot of e-mails to access the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"TestFlight"

5/5

What do you like best about TestFlight?

TestFlight is an online service for over-the-air installation and testing of mobile applications, currently owned by Apple Inc and only offered to developers within the iOS Developer Program. Developers signed up with the service to distribute applications to internal or external beta testers, who could subsequently send feedback about the application to developers. The TestFlight SDK additionally allowed developers to receive remote logs, crash reports and tester feedback Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestFlight?

the only thing I can see that I do not like though not hurt me because I have IOS is that TestFlight initially supported testing of Android and iOS applications, but since March 2014, Apple has retracted support for Android.[8][9] As of 2015, applications must be published for TestFlight using Xcode, and testers must be invited using iTunes Connect Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlines Beta Testing for iOS"

4/5

What do you like best about TestFlight?

It makes it easy for me to test beta application releases that are not yet available to the public. It's a free quick install from their website or the App Store. Even there are in-app purchases, they are free to me as a tester. TestFligt can be installed on multiple iOS devices to perform unlimited simultaneous tests from any developer. When providing feedback, valuable information about my device and the app is auto-populated for me to save me some time and allow me to focus solely on my feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestFlight?

It can't be used on devices that are not running iOS. It's not available to Android devices either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TestFlight:

TestFlight is the simplest way to test beta applications on iOS devices. It can be used to simultaneously test on up to 10 devices and doesn't require a lot from you as a tester. You don't need to deal with UDIDs or provisioning profiles at all so it streamlines the process. Also, if you currently have the app installed, the beta version will automatically replace the version on your device and you can begin testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestFlight solving and how is that benefiting you?

TestFlight helps developers to fine tune their applications and notice issues that they may have been blind to as the creator or ones they simply didn't think of. TestFlight also helps users to have a better user experience with these applications once released because they have been tested extensively to avoid common issues.

"Great access to test iOS Apps in development"

5/5

What do you like best about TestFlight?

The ease of assigning internal and external alpha and beta testers for application evaluation is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestFlight?

The iOS app for Test Flight has no administration features. all admin tasks need to be managed via web. iTune Connect app does not support Test Flight admin either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TestFlight:

Please consider that all administration needs to be done in iTunes Connect on the web. Neither the Test Flight app nor the iTunes Connect app allow for administration of internal or external beta testing users or information. Aside from this it is a well rounded product that could use a few improvements just like any other app.

Beta testers get a clear outline of what is to be tested with each build of the app. They can submit reports of issues or other concerns directly by email. This allows you to track the quality testers as well as make the necessary improvements or changes to the app.

Test Flight lets you track which testers are performing tests on which devices. This is another way to identify the good testers and eliminate the less productive beta testers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestFlight solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem is the need for beta testers to test all aspects of apps and report any problems in an organized manner. Test Flight allows this to happen is a very smooth way that is directly integrated into iOS. I could not really ask for a better way to do this, but there could always be improvements.

"Easy easy easy beta testing for developers"

4.5/5

What do you like best about TestFlight?

I've been doing iOS development long enough that I know the troubles and hoops you used to have to jump through for beta testing. Test Flight makes it much, much easier. It's not painless, but it is fast and simple.

The things I like the best are that I can add internal testers for beta testing, upload an archive and within an hour have my app in my testers hands all over the world! Usually.

You also get feedback within the iTunes Connect site as far as who has tested it, and you can give them notes on what changed and what to test.

Test Flight can also facilitate external beta testing in the same manner, however you are held to the beta app review process. Practically gone are the headaches of UDID management and calling over the phone to help some poor person who has no idea what a UDID is or how to get this to you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestFlight?

The main things I dislike are sometimes having to sign out of your regular store account for iTunes to use this, or being limited on the numbers of devices a single testing account can be signed in on. However, it is easy enough to remedy these issues and I understand Apple's position on this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Test Flight was awesome product but not anymore since apple took over it "

1.5/5

What do you like best about TestFlight?

Before Apple took over it, It was awesome product and was easy to add/delete new/existing member in the team. It was an email which was required to kick the process.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestFlight?

Since Apple took over it, I used it only once in my current project but had to get rid of this because of very confusing UI for adding members (in two group: Internal and external). Internal member again can be of two type: Technical and others. It sends an email of membership to even existing customer and deleting the existing app on tester device.

But I will advise every iOS developer to use test flight before app store submission. Apple recommends the same. Apple validates the build in advance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TestFlight:

Use Test Flight to avoid app store rejection but for distribution use third party product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestFlight solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using test flight in current form validates the developer build in advance which helps individual/business to avoid rejection from Apple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and reliable!"

5/5

What do you like best about TestFlight?

TestFlight makes it very easy to distribute your iOS applications to beta testers on their iOS devices. It is simple for the developer or admin to make applications available on TestFlight and simple for testers to access them. Apps are made available quickly after submitting them for TestFlight. I have not encountered any errors with TestFlight. The service has been easy and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestFlight?

I have no significant complaints with TestFlight. A bit of a distant annoyance in the process of using TestFlight is first setting up beta testers in the Developer iTunes Connect admin panel. I had to return to the panel several times after waiting for testers to click the verification link in their email. It's also a possibility that some testers did not receive notifications from Apple when they were invited to be testers, or that the notifications were delayed, or that the notification email did not make its purpose obvious. I had to reinvite several testers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TestFlight:

TestFlight is a convenient way to beta test your iOS applications. I recommend it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestFlight solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to be able to test our software on as many real devices as possible before putting our iOS apps and updates into production. It is great to be able to easily distribute our apps and updates, especially in a way that is very alike the real app store. The closer the testing experience is to a production launch, the more confident we can feel when we do the real thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best way to distribute unpublished apps"

5/5

What do you like best about TestFlight?

Finally a simple process to distribute apps before publication. Just upload your app to iTunes Connect and submit for TestFlight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestFlight?

You still need to wait for Apple approval before you can distribute to external accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering TestFlight:

The process is easy to follow. Managing distribution is simple and quick. We no longer have to maintain Ad Hoc provisioning profiles and build configurations. It's a big improvement to our workflow! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is TestFlight solving and how is that benefiting you?

Finally can abandon Ad Hoc provisioning and the hassle of managing registered devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best way to invite users to test your iOS app"

4.5/5

What do you like best about TestFlight?

TestFlight is perfectly integrated with Apple ecosystem, your build can be uploaded directly from Xcode. you can invite 25 members of your team for test your app internally or up to 2000 external testers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TestFlight?

Sometimes is no so fast to distribute prerelease builds of the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
