A comprehensive solution for cross-browser testing
What do you like best about the product?
BrowserStack has been an invaluable tool in my development workflow, particularly for cross-browser testing. Its extensive support for various browsers and devices, including older versions, ensures that my applications are compatible across different platforms without the need for a physical device lab. The interface is intuitive, making it easy to set up tests and interpret results, even for those new to automated testing. One of the standout features is the ability to test on real devices, which is crucial for mobile app testing as emulators often fall short in replicating real-world conditions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow sometimes. Keyboard keys does not work on mobile devices
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing on real devices instead of debugging in the web browser, easier to debug and reproduce bugs
Great device farm in the cloud
What do you like best about the product?
Live provides an easy to access range of browser/operating system combination.
With App Live we have an easy to acces device farm to test our apps. It also provides an easy access network requests sent by our apps. No need anymore to struggle with setting up proxies. Due to the integration with Firebase the latest builds of our apps are always available in App Live. No hassle anymore with downloading and uploading ipa and apk files.
Percy also has been a game changer for us. It provides quick feedback on styling issues that are hard to catch when testing manually.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Performance can be slow from time to time put it has improved a lot in the past years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy access to mobile devices. We need to manage less real devices.
Great on-demand stable of iOS devices
What do you like best about the product?
BrowserStack provides me with the tools I need to complete an in-depth evaluation of our online products on a variety of Apple devices. I can run quick checks of functionality and reproduce issues reported be end users, using both current and previous versions of iPadOS. BrowserStack gives us access to real devices (not just emulators/simulators), so we can be confident in our test experience and results. And since we don't have to procure, provision, maintain, and update the devices ourselves, we can test on a wider variety of devices and operating system versions. I can start a test session in just a couple of clicks, and switch to a different device just as quickly. The availability of Chrome DevTools/Safari Web Inspector in the BrowserStack tool further reduces our dependence on having local hardware to support testing and troubleshooting.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one weakness of BrowserStack in our testing is the limited selection of tablet-sized Android devices. There are several Galaxy Tab devices, but only the A9+ is running Android 14, and none currently have Android 15. Of course, we have seen for ourselves that maintaining an up-to-date selection of Android tablets is challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The big benefit of BrowserStack is that we can test on more iPad models without having to purchase and maintain so many devices ourselves.

Opportunity for Improvement for BrowserStack: Download Reports of DevTools Information
What do you like best about the product?
I really like BrowserStack for testing on different mobile devices due to the wide variety of real devices and browsers without the need to maintain a physical collection of devices in the team I work with, and this certainly increases the frequency of BrowserStack use by me and other members of my team. Among the features that impress me the most about BrowserStack is the ease of implementation, customer support, and the ease of using it with test automation tools as well, like Cypress, for example. Another point I really like is the real-time debugging with DevTools, which greatly facilitates the quick identification of problems without needing to recreate the environment locally on the developers' machines, for example. Additionally, the ability to perform tests on real networks, various locations, and varied conditions such as 3G, 4G connections, and others help ensure a user experience closer to reality in the software I test with BrowserStack.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it difficult to point out something I don't like about BrowserStack, as it is a very good tool! Something that sometimes bothers me during use is the slight slowness of the device, but I realize that for me this depends a lot on my internet connection, because when the connection is strong, I hardly notice any slowness. However, despite BrowserStack being a tool that I really like and offering various resources that greatly assist in day-to-day tasks, ease of integration with other tools, and other conveniences, I think there is an opportunity for improvement regarding the limitation of not being able to download detailed reports of the information presented in DevTools (network requests, WebSocket, and other events captured during tests). Although it is possible to view this information in real-time, the ability to export it for developers' analysis during the attempt to fix a defect would greatly help with complex problems or those specific to a particular device being used in tests on BrowserStack. Currently, when I encounter a defect in the software I am testing, the developers and I need to manually copy the information from DevTools to assist us in debugging the issue. Often, during the investigation of a defect or even a performance failure of the software I am testing, it is essential to have a detailed history of network requests and API responses. If there were an option to generate complete reports in formats like JSON or CSV, it would greatly help to share this data with other team members and even use it in audits or automations within the test pipeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Today, BrowserStack in the team I work with solves one of the biggest challenges in web application development and QA: testing compatibility across different browsers, devices, and operating systems without needing to manually set up complex environments. Before we had the BrowserStack tool available to us, conducting comprehensive tests in different contexts of smartphones, browsers, and operating systems required maintaining several physical mobile devices and virtual machines, which demanded a lot of time and high costs. With BrowserStack, we can test applications on real devices in the cloud and ensure that our users' experience is consistent across various scenarios without needing to invest in additional physical hardware.
