Find a bug. Win a licence.
Use any Hasnain Studio X app the way you normally would and report what goes wrong. The most useful report each month wins a full licence for the app of your choice. You do not need to buy anything: every app has a free trial.
How it works
-
Use an app
Install any app from Windows or Android on its free trial, and use it for real work.
-
Write it up
When something breaks, note the steps that cause it, what you expected and what happened. A report someone else can repeat is worth most.
-
Send it here
Use the form below. You get a reference straight away, and we reply once we have tried it ourselves.
What counts
Report these
- Crashes, freezes and features that do not do what they say
- Wrong results, lost settings or lost work
- Layout faults, unreadable text or controls you cannot reach
- Problems on a particular Windows or Android version, screen size or scale
- Privacy or security weaknesses, reported privately through this form only
Never do these
- Reverse engineer, decompile or modify an app, or bypass its licence, trial or protection
- Test on devices or accounts that are not yours
- Probe the Microsoft Store, Google Play, our website or any other service
- Publish a security weakness before it has been fixed
- Ask anyone for, or offer anything in return for, a rating or review
Reports that come from breaking these rules are not eligible, however useful they are.
The reward
Report a bug
One bug per report. Screenshots or recordings help: mention them, and we will ask for them by email.
Hall of fame
The Bug Hunt opens on 1 October 2026. Names appear here once the first reports have been confirmed.
Bug Hunt rules
These terms govern the Bug Hunt. Sending a report means you accept them.
1. Promoter
The promoter is Hasnain Butt Akhtar, trading as Hasnain Studio X, England, United Kingdom. Contact: the contact page.
2. Eligibility
- Open to anyone aged 18 or over, worldwide, except where local law restricts entry.
- Employees, contractors and immediate family of the promoter may not enter.
- Entry is free. No purchase is necessary: every Windows app has a free Microsoft Store trial, and buying an app does not improve your chance of winning.
3. How to enter
- Send a report through the form on this page. One bug per report.
- The bug must be in a current version of a Hasnain Studio X app from the Microsoft Store or Google Play, found through normal use on a device you own or are entitled to use.
- You may send as many reports as you like, up to six a day.
4. What is excluded
- Anything found by reverse engineering, decompiling or modifying an app, or by bypassing its licence, trial or protection. The apps' licence terms forbid these.
- Testing the Microsoft Store, Google Play, this website or any other service, or any device or account that is not yours.
- Reports that are not reproducible, are already known, ask for a new feature rather than describe a fault, or were found in a version that is not current.
- Any report connected with a rating or review on any store.
5. Rounds
Each round runs for a calendar month and closes at 23:59 UK time on its last day. A report received after the close is judged in the following round. The first round opens on 1 October 2026.
6. Judging
This is a competition of skill, not a prize draw. Valid reports are judged by the promoter on:
- Impact: how much the bug affects people using the app.
- Reproducibility: whether the steps lead to the bug every time.
- Clarity: how quickly the report lets the bug be found and fixed.
Where the same bug is reported more than once, only the first report received counts. The promoter's decision is final. If no report in a round meets a reasonable standard, no prize is awarded for that round and this is said publicly.
7. Prize
- One winner per round receives a lifetime licence voucher for a single Hasnain Studio X app of their choice, redeemed through the Microsoft Store or Google Play, depending on the app.
- There is no cash alternative and the prize is not transferable. Vouchers may not be sold.
- The winner is responsible for any tax arising in their own country.
- If the chosen app is withdrawn from sale, an equivalent app is offered.
8. Announcement and claiming
The winner is contacted by email within fourteen days of the round closing and announced on this page and on the studio's X account, under the name they choose. If a winner does not reply within fourteen days, the prize may go to the next best report.
9. Security reports
Report privacy or security weaknesses only through this form, and do not share them anywhere else until we confirm they are fixed. We will tell you when that happens.
10. Your data
The form collects your name, email address, the name you choose for the hall of fame and the report itself. They are used only to investigate the report, reply to you and run the Bug Hunt. Reports are stored by the studio and a copy is emailed to the studio's own mailbox. They are not sold, shared for marketing or added to any mailing list. Reports are deleted twelve months after their round closes; ask through the contact page to have yours removed sooner. Full detail is in the website privacy policy.
11. Your report
You keep any rights you have in what you write. By sending a report you allow the promoter to use it to fix the app and to describe the fix in release notes, without naming you unless you have chosen a hall of fame name.
12. General
- The promoter may amend these rules or suspend the Bug Hunt where reasonably necessary, and will publish any change on this page.
- The Bug Hunt is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by Microsoft or Google.
- These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
