Sometimes it crashes and there's slowness. Also, the BrowserStack local setup can be complicated and doesn't always work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
BrowserStack eliminates the need to purchase real devices for testing. It simplifies location-based and local environment testing, making our work easier and troubleshooting more straightforward.
Remote devices have enabled accurate mobile regression testing and crash verification across platforms
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for BrowserStack is to verify or develop features and then verify how they will work on different platforms, specifically iOS and Android, including versions 14, 13, and Android 16, with different screen resolutions.
For example, I run the application on a device in BrowserStack, then open the log files to verify if crashes will occur, so I understand how the application or my feature performs well on specific devices.
For instance, if I fix issues and need to verify, or if I receive a specific issue from customers, I try to install the application on the same device with a similar iOS version and attempt to replicate the issue.
What is most valuable?
BrowserStack offers many devices with different platforms. For example, if there is an available beta version for Android or iOS, you already have access to such platforms, and you can verify how it will work for future releases.
I use the feature of testing on beta versions in my workflow all the time, checking how the application works on the pre-release build, and our QA people also verify and perform regression testing using the pre-release build on specific devices through BrowserStack.
BrowserStack has positively impacted my organization by saving money that would be spent on buying new devices. For instance, if there are many developers in the company, buying each new device costs more than subscribing to BrowserStack where you get access to many devices.
What needs improvement?
I think a possible improvement for BrowserStack could be adding features such as sending SMS or making FaceTime calls because, as far as I know, those features are not available at the moment. Additionally, it could be useful to attach some virtual phone numbers for specific devices and also consider integrating Apple Pay payments to verify how the application works on those platforms.
I would see such features on BrowserStack. I know there are many options such as virtual credit cards, virtual phone numbers, or virtual Apple Pay or Google Pay, and it is possible, but I do not know why BrowserStack still has not implemented them.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using BrowserStack for more than ten years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
BrowserStack is quite stable for me because it offers many different devices, is always up to date, and has a nice user interface with good user experience.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing BrowserStack, I evaluated another platform called Device Anywhere and also one more service, but I cannot recall the name of that service.
What other advice do I have?
As I mentioned before, some of our customers use specific devices with specific iOS versions, for example, iOS 16. Currently, I do not use this iOS 16, and if I need to replicate an issue, I install the build on this iOS version and verify the issue.
I do not know what device to suggest for others looking into using BrowserStack, but I think an iPhone 17 could be an option.
I chose nine out of ten because, as I said, if BrowserStack could enable making FaceTime calls and sending virtual SMS or facilitating Apple Pay payments, that would make it a perfect ten for me. I gave this review a rating of nine out of ten.
Excellent Live Testing, But AI Features Need Refinement
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about BrowserStack is the Live testing experience, especially App Live and Web Live. Being able to test on real devices without depending on physical hardware is extremely valuable, particularly for validating issues that only appear on specific devices, operating systems, or screen sizes. This capability helps the team identify and reproduce bugs more accurately and faster. I also found the Bug Capture feature useful, as it provides detailed technical information that is helpful for developers during analysis and debugging, improving communication between QA and development.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike about BrowserStack is that some of the AI-driven features, especially test case generation, are still too immature for practical use. While the tool generates a large number of test cases quickly, many of them are duplicated, irrelevant, or lack proper alignment with the actual business rules, which creates significant rework. In practice, reviewing and fixing the generated scenarios often takes as much time as writing them manually. Additionally, several features overlap with tools we already use effectively, making it hard to justify the full platform cost when only a few modules clearly add value.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
BrowserStack solves the problem of limited access to real devices and environments for testing. It allows me to validate issues directly on real browsers and mobile devices without relying on personal or shared physical hardware, which is especially beneficial for reproducing device-specific and OS-specific bugs. This improves confidence in test results, speeds up validation, and reduces friction when diagnosing issues that are hard to reproduce locally. Additionally, features like Bug Capture help centralize technical evidence, making it easier to communicate issues clearly to developers and streamline the debugging process.
Seamless Multi-Device Testing with Efficient Automation Features
What do you like best about the product?
It supports multiple devices and now includes a parallel feature, allowing me to test scenarios on different devices with various operating systems simultaneously. There is also support for local BrowserStack. I also appreciate the App Live and Live Platform features, which make the Appium setup more efficient, enabling easier automation of mobile applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the device is not available, and the latest updated version is not up to date. For example, while most physical devices now have Android 16, BrowserStack still only shows the older version, Android 15.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most important aspect for me is being able to check APIs using the network tab. This feature is crucial because, on a physical device running a mobile platform, we don't have that capability. It makes it much easier to debug issues on mobile platforms.
Browserstack - A must for Testers
What do you like best about the product?
BrowserStack enables me to deliver tests more efficiently thanks to its user-friendly interface and the essential features it offers. I use it nearly every week as part of my job to test web applications across various devices. My favorite aspect is the ability to run tests simultaneously on multiple devices, which makes multi-device checks much faster. The platform is very straightforward to use, and our organization has relied on BrowserStack since the very beginning.
What do you dislike about the product?
One area that could be improved is the occasional issue where certain devices fail to boot correctly or become unresponsive. Additionally, network or hardware-level problems can be difficult to replicate, and in these situations, physical devices sometimes reveal bugs that are not detected on BrowserStack devices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Testing applications often requires access to multiple devices, which can be costly and inconvenient. Broswestack provides a wide range of devices, making it unnecessary to purchase them individually. This not only lowers the expense of acquiring devices for testing but also ensures that the necessary devices are always available when needed. Also the simultaneous devices where we can add multiple devices at once saves time by a lot.
Effortless for Everyone: User-Friendly Experience with BrowserStack
What do you like best about the product?

What do you dislike about the product?
The application is memory-intensive, so you might experience some freezing if you are using a very old device or have a slow internet connection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We create multiple campaign pages using low-code or no-code tools. BrowserStack assists us in debugging the web application across various devices and locations. Additionally, we debug our Consent Management Platform to verify compliance based on different regions (e.g., the EU or California).
A Robust Platform for Comprehensive App Testing
What do you like best about the product?
I use BrowserStack for app testing across Android, iOS, and iPad. I like that it lets me test in almost all real device environments without needing physical devices. I can check almost all cases and observe API calls in the production version, which isn't possible on other platforms. I can see real-time requests and track if an application breaks because of an API call or data mismatch. Also, testing the app UI with various mobiles is very convenient. The setup is simple and easy to grasp quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
In the case of iOS, if we need to test push notifications, we have to download it from TestFlight. If that could work with the uploaded build, it would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
BrowserStack solves the problem of not having all devices for testing by allowing us to test in real environments. It allows us to check all cases, see API calls in production, and test UI on various mobiles. We can track issues with API calls or data mismatches.
