Join the Ringside beta

Ringside is an iPhone app that walks you around a rental car with a guided video and a checklist, so nothing gets forgotten at pickup and return. Before launch, we're looking for a small group of people to try it on real rentals.

Who we're looking for

  • An iPhone with iOS 17 or later
  • A rental car, car-share or Turo trip in the next few weeks
  • About ten minutes at pickup and again at return, and a few minutes to tell us how it went

1. Sign up

Tap below to email us your iPhone model and when your next rental is. We'll reply with your TestFlight invitation.

Email us to join

2. Install

  1. Install Apple's free TestFlight app from the App Store.
  2. Open our invitation (email or link) on your iPhone and tap Accept, then Install.
  3. Open Ringside. Beta versions update automatically in TestFlight.

3. Try it on a real rental

  • At pickup: the guided walk-around (does the ring sit around the car and fill in as you walk?), then the checklist: wheels and tires, glass, lights and mirrors, interior, odometer and fuel.
  • Spots to check: after the walk-around, Ringside may suggest spots worth a closer look. Tell us which were real and which weren't, and anything it missed.
  • At return: the same checklist again, then mark the car as returned.
  • Optional: email yourself the PDF summary, and try exporting the rental.

The unlimited version is free in the beta, so you can try everything.

4. Tell us how it went

  • Quick feedback: take a screenshot in the app and tap Share Beta Feedback.
  • After your rental: reply to our email with how many spots it suggested, how many were real, anything it missed, the car's color and the lighting.
  • Help improve spot checks (optional): turn it on in Ringside's Settings to save small examples you can review and send.

As a thank-you, testers who try Ringside on a rental and send feedback get the unlimited version free when it launches.

Privacy in the beta

Your photos and videos stay on your iPhone. Through TestFlight, Apple shares crash reports, basic device information and any feedback you choose to send with us; see Apple's TestFlight privacy information in the TestFlight app. Ringside's own privacy policy and terms apply.
