Help & FAQ
Quick answers to the most common questions about TestNest.
How do I earn Loop Points?
You earn 10 Loop Points for each review the app owner marks as useful. If the owner doesn't respond within 24 hours, the review auto-accepts and you get the points anyway — so a payout never depends on an owner who's gone quiet.
Why didn't I get points the moment I submitted a review?
Points reward useful feedback, not just fast feedback. That's why they land on acceptance (by the owner or by the 24-hour auto-accept), not on submission.
Can I award myself points?
No — points are only ever written by the server when a review is accepted. There's no way to set your own balance directly, from the app or otherwise.
What does an AI Review check?
In one pass, it checks messaging clarity, mobile responsiveness, page speed, broken links, trust signals, onboarding, and a store-readiness checklist for Apple App Store and Google Play submission. Findings are ranked critical to nice-to-have, so you know what to fix first.
What data do you fetch?
Only the publicly reachable HTML of the URL you submit — the same thing a visitor's browser would load. We don't access private pages, admin panels, or anything behind a login. Requests to internal/private network addresses are blocked outright, and only text/HTML responses are processed.
How long does it take?
Usually well under a minute — the page fetch, link checks, and AI analysis all run in a single pass.
How many reviews can I run?
Signed-out visitors get one free report. Signed-in accounts can run several per hour; we rate-limit hard beyond that to keep the tool available and fast for everyone.
How do I submit my app?
Sign up, verify your email, then head to Submit App. You'll need a title, description, a live URL, platform, and category — feedback focus areas are optional.
Why do I need to verify my email first?
It keeps the community feed built from real, reachable builders rather than throwaway or spoofed accounts.
Can I edit or remove my app later?
Reach out via the contact details on our Privacy Policy page and we'll help you update or take it down.
Do leaderboards reset?
The all-time leaderboard never resets — it's your total Loop Points balance. The weekly leaderboard is a rolling 7-day window of accepted reviews, so it updates continuously rather than resetting on a fixed day.
Why isn't my review showing up in the weekly count yet?
The weekly leaderboard counts reviews by when they were accepted, not submitted — so a review sitting in the 24-hour acceptance window won't count until it clears that window.
