What equipment do I need for user testing?

In most cases, you need an internet connection, a computer and/or smartphone, and a microphone (a webcam is required for some tests). Some tests also ask for a selfie-style video reviewing a physical product, like a vacuum or speaker.

Is there a user testing app?

Yes. Most platforms on this list — including UserTesting, Trymata, Userbrain and Dscout — offer an iOS and/or Android app you can use to receive and complete tests on your phone. Check your chosen platform's site to confirm which devices it supports before you sign up.
