Effortless for Everyone: User-Friendly Experience with BrowserStack
What do you like best about the product?
BrowserStack is easy for both technical and non-technical people to use.
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.
Reliable and Scalable Solution for Cross-Device Automation Testing

The platform is highly user-friendly, which makes both navigation and test execution simple and efficient. Integration with frameworks such as Selenium and Appium is smooth, significantly cutting down on setup time. The customer support team is responsive and knowledgeable, consistently resolving any issues quickly. We use BrowserStack every day for regression and compatibility testing across a wide range of devices and operating system versions. Features like Live Testing, Automate, and App Live provide the flexibility needed for both manual and automated testing. The debugging tools, including logs, screenshots, and video recordings, are especially useful. Integration with CI/CD tools like Jenkins and GitHub Actions works seamlessly, allowing us to automate our processes at scale without hassle.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing can be somewhat steep for small teams or startups, particularly as you increase the number of parallel sessions. Occasionally, tests may encounter some latency, especially when running several sessions at once. Additionally, popular devices or operating system versions are not always instantly accessible during peak times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost efficiency is achieved by eliminating the need to buy and maintain physical devices or infrastructure. Time savings are significant, as quick access to a broad selection of devices accelerates both regression and compatibility testing. Improved test coverage is another benefit, since the ability to test across various operating system versions and browsers leads to higher quality and fewer issues in production. Scalability is also a strong point, with the ease of running parallel tests and integrating with CI/CD pipelines to support continuous testing. Additionally, the flexibility to support both manual and automated testing makes it adaptable to different project requirements.
Streamlined Testing but Lacking Consistency
What do you like best about the product?
I use BrowserStack to test IVP applications, and it reduces the testing time significantly. I like its user interface and test suite feature. The interface is simple, and the test suite feature allows me to run a test on cloud while recording another test on local. The initial setup was good.
What do you dislike about the product?
In BrowserStack, we are facing inconsistency issues. The same test runs smoothly locally but fails in the Suite. Also, the same test passes in one test suite and fails in another test suite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use BrowserStack to test IVP applications, which reduces testing time significantly.
Flexible Multi-Device Testing, But Pricey
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use of BrowserStack and appreciate its flexibility, especially during the initial setup. I also value the collaboration it facilitates within our QA team and its integration into our deployment pipeline, which helps us get closer to a true CI/CD setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too pricey
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use BrowserStack as a testing framework for multi-device support, which helps me quickly identify UI and functional issues.
A Powerful Cross-Browser Testing Platform with Peak Hour Challenges
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can test on real devices without having to buy them. Having access to the latest and legacy combinations of devices and browsers is super helpful. I appreciate the ability to integrate automation testing with Selenium, as it allows me to use existing Selenium test suites without much change. The parallel testing on different devices, OS, and browsers saves a lot of time. I also find the CI/CD integration very useful for automated browser checks on code changes and builds. Manual and local testing are pretty easy, making it user-friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
During peak hours, there is a lag and performance is not that great. Typing and scrolling is slow sometimes. Debugging of complex issues can get really slow. Real devices are slower and need longer startup times. Map-based pages are slow. Need control on session timeouts. The pricing should be reduced to make it more affordable. Manual/local testing is pretty easy, but automation/CI/CD requires more effort and time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
BrowserStack solves usability, user interface, browser compatibility, and device compatibility issues. I like testing on real devices without buying them and accessing latest/legacy browser-device combinations. It integrates with Selenium for automated tests, supporting parallel testing and CI/CD for automated checks, saving us time and effort.
Comprehensive Testing with Real Device Emulation
What do you like best about the product?
I use BrowserStack to do design reviews of mobile application builds, and it helps me verify whether development matches the provided design. BrowserStack lets me view APK builds on different resolutions of mobile devices at the same time, reducing my time and effort. I appreciate that it gives the experience of testing on a real device, offering various mobile and desktop resolutions. It offers features similar to a real mobile device, like network and screenshots. The screenshot feature is incredibly valuable as I can take screenshots, verify them against the Figma designs, and create documentation for developers if changes are needed. This definitely makes my work better and provides proof of what changes need to be done.
What do you dislike about the product?
I noticed that when using multiple devices at once while testing an APK build, they don't sync properly if one of them is on an older version, like below V11. Also, the initial setup was a bit confusing and the UI can be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use BrowserStack for design reviews of mobile apps, verifying development against provided designs. It offers multiple device resolutions, saving time and effort. I also value the screenshot feature for matching designs and marking differences for developers.
