The Value of Our Tester Community
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, we wanted to take the time to thank you all for being a part of the Betabound family!
Most of you discovered our community because you genuinely wanted to help improve the tech products you already use. For that, we thank you! Our clients are consistently impressed by the enthusiasm, intellect, helpfulness, and charisma apparent within our testers’ participation and product feedback. We like to think companies seek us out because of our robust beta test management services, but stay because of the heart of our community.
No company can grow without the support of an awesome community of dedicated users — Betabound included! We wouldn’t be able to offer beta testing opportunities for the array of products we support (smart lights to TVs to baby wearables to smart ovens — oh my!) without our ever-growing community.
Betabounders represent a wide diversity of demographics, testing interests, platforms, and experiences. Our testers aren’t cookie-cutter, and neither are the products we have available to test. Your unique perspectives have helped product developers uncover bugs, fine-tune their design, dream up new features, and develop launch strategies. Every product developer questions if their product can improve its users’ lives in some way, and your feedback helps them answer that question.
In fact, we have completed hundreds of Betabound Exclusive Tests over the past few years with the help of your participation and feedback! These are beta tests that are run by the Centercode managed betas team, where our beta managers collaborate with testers one-on-one to gather the feedback product developers need to successfully launch their product.
So this Thanksgiving, we wanted to say thank you. We greatly appreciate you joining our community, participating in our beta tests, and sharing your thoughts on the products you beta test. By exploring the emerging technologies presented within our community, you’re helping to improve the worldwide technology landscape. So, we love that you share the same passions for tech and helpfulness that run through our team as well.
Thank you for your involvement in our beta tester community. If you have any questions about Betabound or how you could get more involved, please comment below or email us at hello@betabound.com.
Thanks Betabound for giving us the opportunity to reach out and help our community by making products better! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Thank you for the awesome platform where we feel our voice is heard and allowing us to work together to create a better product.
So far I have only had one chance to be a tester but I found the project to be very informative and fun. I hope to become a bigger part of the community in the future and have a chance to test more products and learn more.
In my ~ five year experience with Centercode-based beta testing, once you’ve proven your mettle on one company’s beta program you stand a pretty good chance of getting on more from the same company.
I’ve now completed six tests for one well know company, three for another big company, plus a few one-offs, and a couple which seemed to just disappear before starting.
The key is to be an effective beta tester. This means recognizing issues and writing them up with as much detail as possible. They seem to really appreciate screen dumps and photos. I take that a step further by often annotating the photos with arrows, circle, and text. It also means being responsive to beta program managers’ questions and requests.
Good luck!
I’ve been a member of the Betabound community for awhile now and always loving getting the invites to test out a few new products. Unfortunately most of the time I don’t make it past the invite stage. I was accepted to one of the new smart thermostat betas, but unfortunately we couldn’t work out the logistics to have it installed. Hopefully 2017 will bring some exciting new chances and new products to try out!
This was a pleasant experience doing this testing and then having one of the managers of the product I was testing to actually call and let me know how impressed he was with my suggestions, bugs, etc. I really do know it goes farther than just mentioning items on Betabound. I hope have the chance to do some additional testing for this company. Nice to see what is up and coming, like the sneak peak so to speak.
Happy holidays to you guys too and all my fellow testers!
Thank you Betabound for the opportunity to the help community by allowing us to test products and hopefully make them better! Happy Thanksgiving

Thank you for all of the amazing opportunities you have facilitated over the years! You have created such a streamlined platform which allows for excellent communication and brainstorming so that all of us Can can have an easier time during beta tests. It sure makes the entire process more user friendly and a lot more appealing just on that note. The hard work your team puts into making the site work for all of us is amazing ♡ I really appreciated it on the projects I was able to work on! Thank you and happy holidays!
Giving thanks back to BetaBound for giving us the opportunity to play with all these wonderful new toys. It’s all your fault I had to go over to the darkside and buy an Ipad just to add it as another test platform. #AndroidForever 🙂

Thanks Betabound and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you as well. I love being part of the Betabound community and the Beta Team Managers are great. Nothing beats the feeling of knowing you helped make a better product, and its fun at the same time. 🙂

Happy Holidays to everyone as well. I too appreciate the chance to test and advise on the varied items we come across. It has been a real pleasure to interact with professionals who know their business and work with the testers as wonderfully as you do.
