Looking for OCAD students to test an app I'm building

Hey! I've been building a mobile app over the summer and I'm looking for a handful of OCAD students who'd be down to test it before I launch.

The app is meant to help people meet others around the city and make it easier to connect with people who share similar interests.

Right now I just need people to use it normally, let me know what feels off, what's confusing, and report any bugs they run into. Nothing super formal.

If you help out, you'll get:

  • $1,000 in in-app ad credits (useful if you sell art, do commissions, run events, etc.)
  • Something you can put on your résumé/LinkedIn if you want (beta tester / QA)
  • A chance to shape the app before it goes live

I've already got students from NYU, Columbia, and Pace testing in New York, and I'm hoping to get a group from OCAD as well.

If you're interested, comment below or shoot me a DM. Happy to answer any questions.

York U students wanted for mobile app beta testing (QA + feedback)

Hey everyone! I’m a student developer looking for a small group of York University students to beta test a mobile app project I’ve been building over the summer.

The idea is simple: help students make genuine friends on campus and connect with people in their local community. (Whether you're commuting or living near Keele/Glendon, making real connections on campus can be tough!)

The project came out of independent research I did analyzing how people form and maintain relationships across major dense cities (like Toronto, Tokyo, Seoul, NYC, LA, London, Paris, Berlin, and Manila). I’m finally at the stage where I need real student feedback before launching publicly.

What I’m looking for in testers:

  • Use the app naturally and help hunt down bugs
  • Share honest feedback on what works and what needs improvement
  • Commit to roughly 20–30 minutes a week for quick debriefs/feedback during the beta phase

What’s in it for you?

  • $1,000 in in-app advertisement credits — perfect if you run a side hustle, small business, student club, campus group, or event promotion.
  • Resume/LinkedIn experience — feel free to list this software QA & beta testing role on your resume.
  • A direct role in shaping the final app before public release.

We already have interested students signed up from NYU, Columbia, and Pace University testing in New York, and I’d love to get a strong group representing York University onboard as well!

If you’re interested or have any questions, drop a comment below or send me a DM! Thanks so much for the help!

Looking for George Brown students to beta test a student-built app.

Hey everyone! I'm a student developer looking for a small group of George Brown students to beta test a mobile app I've been building over the summer.

The idea is simple: help students make genuine friends on campus and connect with people in their local community.

The project came out of independent research I did on how people form and maintain friendships in dense cities like Toronto, Tokyo, Seoul, New York, London, Paris, Berlin, and Manila. I'm finally at the stage where I need real student feedback before launch.

I'm looking for testers who can:

  • Use the app naturally and report bugs
  • Share honest feedback on what works (and what doesn't)
  • Spend about 20–30 minutes per week during the beta

What you get:

  • $1,000 in advertising credits for the app (great if you run a small business, side hustle, student club, or event).
  • Real software QA/beta testing experience you can include on your résumé or LinkedIn.
  • A chance to directly influence the final product before it launches.

Students from NYU, Columbia, and Pace University have already signed up to test it in New York, and I'd love to have a strong group representing George Brown as well.

If you're interested or have any questions, leave a comment or send me a DM. I'd really appreciate the help!

Student project looking for Beta testers!

Hey everyone! I’m looking for student beta testers for a mobile app project I built over the summer. It’s designed to help students make friends on campus and connect with their local community.

The app is built on my independent research analyzing how strangers meet and maintain relationships across major dense cities (like Manila, Tokyo, NYC , Seoul, LA, Chicago, London, Paris, and Berlin).

It’s about 90% complete, I just need help with software QA, general feedback, and bug testing before launching publicly. We have student interest from NYU, Columbia & Pace signed-up to test it in their city as well.

What’s involved?

  • $1000 in advertisement credits for the app, great for local businesses, sellers or promoters.
  • ~20–30 minutes a week for quick debriefs/feedback
  • Feel free to list this QA/testing role on your resume!

If you're interested, drop a comment or send me a DM!
