The Updraft Public Link feature makes the app distribution of apps for beta testing super easy.As soon as an iOS or Android app has been uploaded to Updraft, the public link for downloading the application appears on the Home App Detail page. Copy the link with one click to the clipboard and share it with wherever you like.

Before this feature became available, project managers or developers had to manually invite testers or customers with their email address to Updraft or to a beta app. This required that before distribution, all e-mail addresses of the testers are added in Updraft. This cost precious time and sometimes was an obstacle in agile app development.

With the Updraft Public Link feature, unique URLs can be created and shared directly with the testers, through any means you like. As soon as a tester clicks on the public link, he or she will be redirected to the Updraft mobile web app where the app can be downloaded. A detour via an additional app or a login is not necessary. And of course you also still can send the link directly from Updraft.
