As someone who used "Mechanical Turk" powered usability testing services before, I can safely say that they are very practical but mostly useless, 90% of random people just tell you what you probably want to hear and only 10% point out useful stuff -- Opentest seems like it can eliminate this issue but remain practical, I see you advertise the Facebook Engin… See more

@kaansoral thanks for the feedback! yes, allowing the ability to pick a specific type of tester (designer, engineer, product manager) is definitely something we're working on. Let me know how I can help get you to run your first usability test with Opentest :-)

@vacord I personally like https://userbob.com/ - very simple and the owner is a very decent builder, transparent about everything - yet regular people just can't be impartial in such a scenario, useful, actionable feedback is rare (you pay them, so they are naturally mostly positive, and since they are efficient mechanical turk workers, they generally perfor… See more
