About the app: StoreRead is a video storytelling app for families and communities to record and preserve spoken memories and life stories. It's live on the App Store and has been tested in-house. We now want honest feedback from a first-time outside user — can a non-technical person succeed at the core flow, and does it feel good to use? Location: US-based testers only. What you'll do: - Use the app as a real first-time user and work through the guided tasks we provide. - Try the core flow end to end: record/upload a video, look at the auto-generated transcript, play it back, search, organize into topics, and share (including opening a shared link). - Share honest impressions as a non-technical adult — what was easy, what was confusing, and anything that felt slow, unclear, or broken. About the videos you'll upload: You'll record and upload two of your own test videos to exercise the flow — please include at least one longer video close to the 20-minute maximum StoreRead supports, plus a short clip. Content can be anything low-stakes (talk about your day, describe a hobby, read aloud). Pay attention to upload time, transcription, and playback on the long video especially. Uploads are private by default and deletable. What we're looking for (deliverables): 1. Work through the guided tasks as a first-time user. 2. Upload two of your own test videos (one short, one close to the 20-minute max) and note how upload, transcription, and playback went. 3. Fill in our simple feedback form as you go — for each task it just asks: did it work as you expected, how easy was it (a 1–5 rating), where you hesitated or got confused, whether anything broke, and any other comments. Short, honest notes are perfect. 4. A few sentences of overall impressions: your biggest point of confusion, what a non-technical person would struggle with, your favorite thing, and whether you'd recommend it. 5. Optional but appreciated: a quick screenshot or screen recording for anything that was confusing or broke (no formal bug reports required). Devices: - Real devices only (no simulators). - iPhone primary (iOS 17+); iPad secondary if you have one. We provide: - App Store download link, a test account, and sample content. - A guided task list and a simple feedback form (mostly short questions and 1–5 ratings). Requirements: - Comfortable using iPhone apps day-to-day and writing clear, honest feedback. - Attention to detail and the patience to notice what's confusing. - Formal QA experience is NOT required — we specifically want a genuine first-time-user perspective. Consumer-app or usability-feedback experience is a plus, not a must. Compensation & duration: - Hourly: $30/hour, up to a 4-hour maximum (about $120 total). - Expected effort roughly 2–4 hours over 5–7 days. - Tracked through Upwork's hourly system (Work Diary); we'll set a 4-hour weekly limit so the total is capped.

We build financial operations software for contractors and are researching how accounts receivable actually gets done day to day. We're hiring people who personally owned the A/R workflow at a home services company (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, restoration) or a commercial construction contractor (GC or specialty trade) for paid walkthrough sessions. This is not advisory work. We want the mechanics. You will take us through one real example live, end to end: Home services: work completed, invoice created and sent, follow-up cadence, what happens when a commercial account hits 60 days past due, payment received and applied in the books. Commercial construction: field progress to pay application, schedule of values, submission and approval, retainage tracking, chasing payment from the GC or owner, cash received and applied. Requirements: You did this work hands-on or directly managed the people who did. Executive oversight only is not a fit. 3+ years running billing and A/R for a contractor, ideally $20M+ revenue Able to screen share your actual system (QuickBooks, Sage, Foundation, Vista, ServiceTitan, Procore, spreadsheets, whatever you really used) or sanitized exports. Hide customer names and dollar amounts as needed. The process is what we care about, not the data. Comfortable answering questions as you go, on a recorded call Logistics: $125/hour, billed for actual time on the call, not a guaranteed hour. Most walkthroughs run 45-60 minutes; some wrap faster. Possibly one paid follow-up. Sessions are recorded for internal research use only. In your proposal, answer these: Company type and approximate annual revenue when you owned A/R Your title and how many years you did the work hands-on What systems you used for billing and accounting In 2-3 sentences, walk through one real example of getting an invoice or pay application from billed to paid and what a typical dispute looks like Confirm you can screen share a sanitized example live and are OK with the session being recorded Proposals that skip the questions will be declined.
