Specific Tester Data

Personal Opinion After using TestFlight, I have seen the

benefits of using an app analytics tool. With tools such as TestFlight, you will be able to improve your application in just a short period of time.

If you have access to many testers, TestFlight would be a great choice for any software team looking to release a successful application
