Questions

Do I have to write anything?

Only quick notes, as short as you like: what you were doing, and what went wrong or felt off. A screenshot helps. Nothing you send is published.

How much time does it take?

As much as you like. Most testers dip in for a few minutes at a time, on whatever device is handy.

Is it paid?

No, but the most active testers get Budvocate swag. You work through achievements and stages as you test, and we use your stage to decide who gets what.

Do I have to use cannabis?

No. You need to be 21 or older. Some questions in your profile ask how you use cannabis, so we know who’s testing; they’re optional and stay private.

What will I test on?

Whatever you have: phones, tablets and computers all count. Testing on a phone matters most, because that’s where most people read.

Will I hear back about my notes?

Yes. Every note becomes a ticket we reply to, and you’re told when it’s fixed.

Is there a reviewer program too?

Yes: reviewers test gear and write published reviews. It’s a different thing, and you can apply for both on the same form.
