Overall Satisfaction with BrowserStack

We use the Browserstack platform to test our mobile app on various devices. Browserstack offers plenty of devices which is perfect for remote working. We have tried purchasing real devices before but we're quickly out of date and it's a bit of a nightmare to manage more than a few devices.
  • Devices available
  • Device launch time
  • Device speed
  • Browser verisons
  • Certain device features like haptic feedback
  • Pricing - rather expensive
  • Browser testing
  • device testing
  • screen size testing
  • Products are tested on devices that better reflect our demographic.
  • reduced testing costs
  • better understanding of our users
  • improved testing efficiency
Appium is an open-source tool for automating native, mobile web, and hybrid applications on iOS mobile, Android mobile, and Windows desktop platforms. It requires some initial setup and configuration unlike Browserstack which is pretty much ready to go out of the box. Appium is free but we prefer the ease of use and features offered by Browserstack.

Testing live issues on various devices, browsers, operating systems and screen sizes allows us to be incredibly thorough and reduces the likelihood of us needing to rework any fixes in the future. Browserstack perhaps isn't best suited to mobile app development as it can take some time to load the device up each time with the app file running, however it is certainly possible.
