Mobile QA Tester — Android App Compatibility & Bug Testing

We're looking for an experienced freelance Android QA tester to do a thorough one-time bug-hunting pass on a mobile weather app.

What we need

Test the app across a wide range of Android devices and OS versions (using a mix of physical devices, Android emulators, and/or a cloud device farm like BrowserStack or Firebase Test Lab — your call on the best approach)

Cover different device tiers (budget, mid-range, flagship), screen sizes (phones and tablets), Android versions (older and recent), and manufacturers (Samsung, Google, Xiaomi, OnePlus, etc.)

Exercise all major features of the app and try to break it — edge cases, poor network conditions, GPS/location behavior, backgrounding, rotation, permissions, push notifications, etc.

Document every bug, crash, UI issue, or confusing behavior in a clear, reproducible bug report (steps to reproduce, expected vs. actual behavior, device/OS info, screenshots or screen recordings where helpful)

Deliverables

A consolidated bug report (Google Sheet, Doc, or similar) listing all issues found, with severity, device/OS context, and reproduction steps

A summary of the device/OS matrix you covered

Screenshots or screen recordings for non-obvious bugs

Skills required

Solid mobile QA experience, ideally with Android apps

Comfortable with emulators and cloud device farms

Strong written English and clear bug reporting

Attention to detail and an instinct for edge cases

How we like to work

Async-friendly — share progress in a shared doc as you go rather than waiting for a final dump

Quick turnaround preferred — ideally ASAP

Happy to answer questions over Upwork messages or a quick call if helpful
