There is an AdGuard app for virtually every major platform out there, and we regularly release updates for all of them. This would not be possible without beta testing and, more importantly, beta testers. Want to become one? Here's how you can do it.

## How to become a beta tester {#intro}
### Beta or nightly: what is the difference?

Our requirements are easy: use AdGuard, upgrade to the beta version when it becomes available, and report any bugs you notice. However, you will need a [GitHub](https://github.com/) account to become our beta tester, so you may want to get that out of the way first.
Both beta and nightly testing are important to make AdGuard constantly better. However, they are different, and you can choose the one that suits you more.

In any case, every single thing you need to know is gathered on a [dedicated page](https://adguard.com/beta.html).
The development process follows a progression from nightly to beta and then from beta to the final, stable version — release. It means that you are more likely to find bugs in nightly builds, but you get access to new features faster, almost on a daily basis. Betas are more stable, but you will get updates less often.

You will also need the device on which you will install the app and [the link to the the beta testing page](https://adguard.com/beta.html). There you will find more information on how to join our program and test AdGuard for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.

If you want to skip the description part and get straight to the action, you can apply [here](https://surveys.adguard.com/beta_testing_program/form.html). Your application will be reviewed within 1-3 working days, and you'll get a reply via email.

To get the AdGuard for iOS beta or nightly build, first you have to install [Testflight](https://apps.apple.com/app/testflight/id899247664) on your iOS device.
