FlyMates

1:1 testing partners beyond your flock — filter by activeness and helpfulness.

Plain eggs → Most active

Sort FlyMates by plain egg count to find developers with the highest daily check-in streaks.

Golden eggs → Most helpful

Sort by golden eggs to find developers whose feedback is consistently rated helpful or very helpful.

What are FlyMates?

While flocks handle group reciprocal testing, FlyMates are dedicated 1:1 testing partnerships between two developers. Send a request, get accepted, and test each other's apps over 16 days.

When to use FlyMates

  • Your flock has fewer than 16 members and you need backup developers
  • You want a dedicated partner for deeper, more focused feedback
  • A flock mate dropped off and you need a replacement developer
  • You want to test a specific category of app outside your flock

Browse & filter listings

Browse FlyMate listings by category (Education, Games, Productivity, etc.), language, and attributes like free apps or no sign-in required. Sort by:

  • Newest — recently listed apps
  • Most active — highest plain egg count (daily check-in reputation)
  • Most helpful — highest golden egg count (feedback quality reputation)

The egg reputation system

Every TestFlock user has two egg balances visible on their profile:

  • Plain eggs are awarded for daily check-ins — they measure activeness
  • Golden eggs are awarded when feedback is reviewed as helpful (+1) or very helpful (+2) — they measure helpfulness

This dual system lets you choose partners based on what matters most: reliability or feedback quality.
