    "After some procrastination I decided to give the MacDeveloper service a try for my upcoming release. I must say that I was quite impressed and my expectations were not only met but exceeded. The group of beta testers that are a part of MacDeveloper are very knowledgeable and skilled at beta testing. They are also diverse so when it comes to having an app tested on different OS versions, configurations, languages, etc. it's all covered. The beta testers are also polite and a pleasure to work with, as is the MacDeveloper staff. And the process and interface for using MacDeveloper couldn't be easier. I think that I can confidently say that using MacDeveloper will make anyone's app better and I would recommend this service to anyone. It has made a believer out of me! So once again thank you to Ray and his staff for this excellent service." - Reggie Ashworth

    What is New:


    The new update continues to improve MacDeveloper's usefulness as well as enhances the testing experience for both developers, as well as testers. MacDeveloper is now a subscription based service. Project Channels may be created, published and are billed month to month. The Developer is billed for only as long as the Project Channel is open for testing.

    Project Channels may be renewed at any time. This is a very welcomed addition as it imports all existing tickets, comments, and subscribed testers to create a new Project. In order for Developers to monitor beta cycles from project-to-project, they may now change the status of tickets on closed Project Channels.

    "Within an hour of posting my application on this site, I had more users and more feedback than I got in weeks pushing my application on my friends. I am blown away by the amount of feedback pouring in and will definitely be using MacDeveloper.net for any future projects!" - Daniel Grace

    Broadcaster has been rebranded as "DevForum". In order to make it easier for Testers to follow Forum threads, they may now include inline attachments to messages (images, text files and movies). Alerts are now "collapsed" by default, and can easily be clicked to read contents.

    Developers may rate Testers upon closing Project Channels 'inline', as well as choose those testers who earned a reward, as well as those who subscribed but do not have enough points for a reward. This allows the Developer to choose a tester who may had offered a suggestion that was implemented into their application, but had not earned enough points for a reward. All downloads include a convenient download counter. This is useful for keeping track of those who downloaded their application, but may not have posted a ticket.

    "What a totally brilliant service. MacDeveloper is the most useful thing I've seen come out for developers in a long time. Prior to release we can now test out new versions of our product on a variety of different systems, and get really constructive feedback from sophisticated users. It's the perfect testing ground for developers using the agile software development techniques." - Zac Cohan

    MacDeveloper's sole mission is to connect willing and responsible beta testers to software developers. As an enhancement to software distribution, MacDeveloper believes that every business should have access to the state-of-the-art tools necessary to manage every aspect of their organization's testing activities. No longer do developers have to spend time recruiting testers. MacDeveloper does all of this for them. Now, they can spend more time coding great software and taking care of their customers.

    Pricing and Availability:


    MacDeveloper is immediately available, registration is free, and already has a growing member base. Developers may create their first Project Channel for only $12.50 (USD). The Developer is billed month to month for only as long as the Project Channel runs. Subsequent Projects may be renewed at any time. Developers may upload as many binary builds as they wish or until the beta cycle is complete and the project is closed.
