Reviews
(26-50 of 149)A great product for testing on all your devices all in one place.
- Great variety of devices
- Many versions of the each device with different browsers
- Best part is the devices are real.
- Something could be done about costing, probably let users select the range of devices and tailor the cost of the application accordingly
- there is a bit of latency which is understandable, but that can be a room for improvement
- provide option for teams of 4 people and price the app correspondingly
Difficult to test with limited internet access and with sensitive data and also the complex desktop applications are hard to test
It's our go-to tool for testing!
- Allows you to test mutiple browsers
- Allows you to test multiple devices
- Allows you to change between resolutions easily
- I experience some lag sometimes
- It takes a bit of time to load each device
BrowserStack is the Enterprise solution for QA Automation
- Appium test execution
- Integrations with multiple test frameworks and languages
- Device-level logging
- Network logging
- Interactive debugging
- Provide support for IoT use cases like Bluetooth Low Energy connection simulation
- Rent space for proprietary hardware so IoT companies can expand their use of BrowserStack
- Rent out your devices to companies that require a test to be run on-site
BrowserStack makes it easy to test your application across different browsers and browser versions
It saves us time and money so that we don't need to procure additional hardware for testing.
- Facilitate testing across browsers and browser versions
- Test iOS, Android devices with wide range of sizes and models.
- Cross-browser testing .
- Local Environment testing.
- End-to-End testing.
- Automate Mobile test cases
- Require more user friendly documentation.
- Some times speed issues with some devices.
Scale your mobile testing with BrowserStack
We also use BrowserStack App Live for testing on specific device which are not available with us. This has helped us reproduce issues which are happening only in certain devices.
- BrowserStack App Automate dashboard gives us video, screenshots and logs of what exactly happened during the test run. This helps us easily analyse failures in our automation test and figure out the root cause for failures.
- BrowserStack App Live provides us with lot of devices to test on. This is specifically useful in case of high end iPhone devices which are costly for us to procure in house.
- BrowserStack App Automate provides parallel threads which can be shared across multiple teams. This has helped us scale our mobile test automation effort across the organisation.
- In house mobile lab might be cost effective initially but when it comes to maintaining it and add new devices as and when it comes in market makes it less cost effective than cloud solution like BrowserStack
- Easier way to screen record just the mobile screen during App Live sessions. Current solution of recording via browser tab seems clumsy
- Easier way to measure app launch time, screen load time etc during App Live sessions
- Suggest on script improvement based on waiting time on screens etc in App automate dashboard.
- Group tests which failed due to same reason so that root cause analysis can go faster.
BrowserStack is my preferred mobile cloud solution based on price, features and reliability perspective.
- Multiple devices and browsers to choose from
- Fairly fast and responsive
- Least downtime
- System or device availability
- Performance
- Reduce latency
- Help with more data points for test automation tools
- Be able to seamlessly setup multiple non prod environments and have different images/ builds
- It has given me multiple options to try, but unfortunately none of them worked, so I can't tell you about any other good options.
- Try not to give everyone access to the free trial. Add some verification systems so that spam users cannot acquire all devices and actual people can use them and make decisions to purchase.
- Increase the time period.
I love BrowserStack So Much I'd Actually Like to Move to India and Work with Them, and Here's Why:
Together with Diana Pinasco as the fabulous designer she is, we work on a new version each year and need to test the results in browsers of all kinds and sizes. This year's website needed extra testing as both design and user experience changed quite a bit, we added the possibility to choose dark or light mode at will, changed the way the menu works, and had new colors, structures, and layouts. I used BrowserStack to test the site in all flavors of mobile devices browsers, and desktops, and it was awesome as always. The site is quite bulletproof and battle-tested since 2001, though the first versions were done in, believe it, Flash Actionscript.
I remember the first time using BrowserStack as a decisive and defining moment when the responsive design really took off, and much more work than now. This time I had a lot to check for new things, but it all seemed to all work right mostly. I do have to sincerely recommend BrowserStack's live testing, I doubt there's something better around.
- Realtime live testing at super speed as if you were there
- Perfect customer service
- Superb device variety of choice
- Feature abundance
- Lots of automated testing that I didn't need but I'm hoping to use one day
- Perfect price
- It may help to show the IP address of the device, as I had to configure access and needed to check the ip on each device for a while. Though it's possibly a fringe case, I guess, there are better, simpler ways than adding IPs to provide access as I had to.

BrowserStack FTW
- The use of hundreds of ready-to-use devices
- The use of several key OS across multiple popular brands
- The use of versioning across several devices of those key brands
- The newest OS and models of devices are readily available
- Overall performance of usability of the device
- Overheating conditions could be a useful feature to be included
- Downloading the app to the Home screen for quick selection would be helpful
- Screen orientation feature
- Tablets for additional devices to be tested against
- Add in a feature to test against wearables
A couple of areas BrowserStack isn't as appropriate would be the limited options it has for interacting with devices such as multi-touch and gestures. Test scenarios that include sensors such as NFC/Bluetooth or battery consumption are often hard to test in the cloud.
- Large amount of physical devices to test on.
- Local environment testing.
- Support for teams.
- The product is wonderful but the cost is a bit high for some people I talk to.
- Input lag could be improved.
- When opening dev tools the device view sometimes gets pushed off screen.
- Cross Browser Testing
- Latest Real Device
- newly implemented Accessibility testing
- Percy for UI testin
- Drag and Drop Functionality not available in devices
- Some times mismatch happening in real device and BrowserStack Devices
- Application speed can be increase
BrowserStack less appropriate in all device Drag and drop functionality is not working that alone need to be update.
A BrowserStack Success Story.
- Wide range of browsers to choose from.
- Several browser versions can utilize to check compatibility with older versions.
- Testing on Smart TVs.
Fantastic customer service and a great product!
- Huge selection of devices to test with
- Great user interface
- Testing on real devices was sometimes a bit slow
Testing infrastructure over cloud
- Many Devices and Browser options to choose.
- Great support for new and upcoming devices and iOS versions

BrowserStack small review
- E2E testing
- Running application in large wide of mobiles
- Running application in the most used browsers
- Pipeline integration
- Finding out the error in the test
- Maning run tests
Easy and Useful
- Latest versions of the apps can be uploaded and tested. Extremely easy process.
- Get error details whenever there is any error encountered.
- App can be tested on multiple devices with different screen sizes and different OS.
- There should not be any session disconnects. And if there are any, then session should start from the same spot where it got disconnected.
- Sometimes there are some lags while browsing. Though it is rare and it gets fixed soon. But that is something that can be improved.
BrowserStack review
