6 years I've been on their books with an advanced profile. I have opted in for countless 'opportunities' in that time, the vast majority of which I am an ideal candidate for having actual testing experience professionally. Not one single selection during that time. It is a total waste of time and I'm not convinced it's not just some elaborate data mining scam.

The fedex beta app test hasn't paid out and it was completed in mid September. No one on betabound can make any headway. If you want to just waste your time go for it. If you need to make extra money find a different group.

Betabound. I've been a member for 18 months. I closed my account today. I intended to last month. I, instead sent an email to state my disheartenment after my contributing the completion of dozens of time-extensive opportunity profiles which spanned 18 months and to having never been granted not even one opportunity at product testing. What resulted was a congratulations. I had been accepted into, what seemed to me, a fascinating quality electronics manufacturer's product—to beta test a mesh Wi-Fi system. I was in awe (ikr?)I thought it was fate (plus my email?) that I was chosen. StarLink, Elon Musk's low orbit satellite internet dish and components would be arriving the same week as my residence locale had been chosen for StarLink beta . January saw the opening of my remodeling & smart device workshop/storefront on my rural residential property. The mesh beta would be great fun given the status of events, and I would imagine it would serve as unique opportunity for the big name brand, Betabound's client, to be presented quantitative metrics for its mesh system in a rural environment to just the 3rd place on Earth set to beta StarLink (it is an amazing service—outstanding upgrade, bravo). The Friday before the mesh WiFi beta was to begin, I received an email from the program lead at Betabound that I'd been relegated to backup. I responded no thank you as my planning toward testing had been invested, that I operate a business with strong demand, and could hardly carry "backup tester email checker" with my schedule. It's difficult to say, but I sincerely felt disappointed. I mean, 18 months is a substantial investment. I have two children, own a home, a business, vehicles, and my home is a smart device-loving nerd's oasis of DNS, DHCP, NAT tabled, MAC filtering, IP allocating geekdom. That's something to contribute. Eighteen months. Betabound apparently does not track metrics. I am unsure. What I am sure of is Betabound did not consider my term on its platform commendable with even one opportunity to act as a tester; thus, my opinion was also null and void. That's my Betabound experience. I've used > than 1500 apps and platforms since 1995. I have beta tested product ranging from Bixby's "Echo" to Dremel's original multitool to closed beta of Amazon's upcoming mmorpg New World. Betabound awarded no such opportunity.
