About Global App Testing

Put simply, when the likes of Spotify or Facebook need their apps tested globally, they use Global App Testing. Our vision is that we become as invaluable for the rest of the startup ecosystem as we are for our current customers.

• We have a global crowd of professional testers who find bugs in apps before they’re released – we test for companies like Facebook, Microsoft and Canon.
• We’re VC backed by the guys behind Zoopla, LoveFilm, Shazam, Ocado and Betfair.
• We’ve been chosen as one of the UK’s fastest growing tech companies by Tech City.
• We also organise Testathons around the world with companies like Facebook, Dropbox, Spotify and King - see the video here.
