Rules

tswap works because the people on it are real builders testing for real. These rules keep it that way. Breaking them gets a listing hidden, credits paused or an account banned.

  1. 01

    Only humans allowed

    One person, one account, your own X handle. Testing with fake X accounts, bots, emulator farms or automated tools gets you permanently banned: the handle, the phone number, the email and the device.

  2. 02

    Test for real

    Install the app or open the site and use it. Proof screenshots, recordings and the challenge word must come from your own session, on the day you send them.

    Full tests mean a check-in every day for 14 days. Two missed days and you are warned; four and the spot goes back to the builder.

  3. 03

    Honest, useful feedback

    Say what works and what is broken, with enough detail to reproduce it. Copy-pasted, empty or generic feedback (“looks nice”) is flagged.

    Be respectful. Criticise the app, never the person.

  4. 04

    No store reviews, ever

    tswap never asks for, rewards or arranges App Store or Google Play reviews or ratings. Offering or asking for one in exchange for credits, a test or a follow is a ban.

  5. 05

    Follows are never required

    Following someone on X is always optional. Making a follow a condition of testing, reviewing or approving is not allowed.

  6. 06

    Builders play fair too

    Approve proof that meets the checklist; flag only what doesn’t, with a reason. You can reply to a public review or report it, not delete it.

    Use the Google email a tester gives you only to add them to your closed test.

    No malware, scams, adult content or apps that break the stores’ rules. Website listings must be HTTPS and pass the safety check.

  7. 07

    What we check automatically

    The same device or network used by a builder and their tester, tests finished impossibly fast, near-identical feedback across testers, and repeated flags. A person looks at anything serious before an account is banned.

  8. 08

    Reports and appeals

    Use the Report link on any listing, review or profile. If you think a decision about your account is wrong, write to contact@testswap.app with your handle; we answer every appeal.
