Surfshark hands users a direct line to its developers with new beta program

Surfshark has reintroduced its Beta Tester Program, allowing users to receive early access to new features and updates before they are released to the general public. This program is currently limited to the Windows and Android versions of the VPN app. By joining, users can help identify bugs and provide feedback to improve the app.

The program distinguishes itself from others by offering testers a direct line of communication with Surfshark's development team through a closed Discord hub. This direct feedback loop enables the company to address minor inconveniences that might otherwise go unnoticed. Surshark's mission is to create the most beloved security product, and the company believes community input is crucial to achieving this goal.

Head of Product Gabriele Sinkeviciute emphasized the importance of community feedback in shaping the product. While the program provides a valuable opportunity for testers to influence development, it is important to note that the builds are still in progress, and there is no financial reward for participation. Interested users can join the program by visiting the specific link provided.
