Unified Mobile Observability & User Context

Mobile App Observability Platform

Connect crash context to product impact. Understand why users crash, struggle, and churn.

Go beyond isolated crash reports. Shakebug bridges technical crash analytics, granular user session journeys, and product retention metrics on one lightweight SDK—with side-by-side compatibility for Firebase Crashlytics.

Unify App Stability With Customer Experience

See the complete narrative behind every crash, rage-tap, failed payment, and dropped session across your mobile apps.

Narrative Timeline

Structured Session Journeys

Chronological sequence of every screen viewed, action tapped, network call, and error leading up to a crash—tracked per device even without login.

Unified Telemetry

Product Analytics Integration

Track DAU/MAU, weekly retention curves, custom events, and app stickiness on the same dashboard without installing a bloated secondary SDK.

Business Context

User Impact Tracking

Understand which customers hit errors, quantify business churn risk, and gather in-app NPS sentiment directly on session timelines.

Coexist Seamlessly

Crashlytics Side-by-Side Mode

Keep your existing Crashlytics setup if desired. Shakebug runs harmoniously side-by-side to add in-app bug capture, sessions, and retention.

Why Engineering & Product Teams Choose Shakebug Observability

Diagnose complex mobile issues with full user narrative instead of isolated stack traces.

1 Visual Timeline

Structured Session Journeys from Launch to Failure

A stack trace only shows the final line of code that threw an exception—it doesn't reveal how the user got into that corrupted state. Did they tap the checkout button three times? Did a slow network request time out?

Shakebug builds an interactive chronological Session Journey for every app launch. View every screen visited, button pressed, custom event fired, and network response status code leading up to the crash point.

Device-Level Anonymous Tracking Works automatically for utility apps and visitors who haven't logged in.
Zero Invasive Video Recording Preserves customer privacy and saves battery compared to heavy replay tools.

2 Complete Customer Context

End-to-End User Journeys Tied by Customer Identity

When customer support or product managers inspect an issue, they need to know if this is a first-time user or an enterprise VIP experiencing repeated friction.

When you provide a custom user identifier through the SDK, Shakebug binds all past sessions, in-app bug submissions, crashes, and survey ratings into a continuous customer timeline.

Customer History Inspect weeks of sessions, events, and feedback for any identified user.
Support Ready Resolve customer tickets in minutes with comprehensive contextual history.

3 Product Intelligence

Integrated Product Analytics & Retention Cohorts

Crashes don't happen in a vacuum—they directly impact whether users return next week. Traditional architectures require separate tools for crash tracking and product analytics.

Shakebug brings both together. Monitor weekly cohort retention curves (Week-1 to Week-4), measure DAU/MAU stickiness, and track custom event conversions right beside your stability data to see the true cost of software bugs.

Weekly Cohorts Compare how app releases impact user retention over 4-week spans.
Custom Event Trends Track business milestones, conversions, and UI interaction volume.

4 User Sentiment

Capture In-App NPS Surveys & User Voice

Correlate technical app performance with real user sentiment. Shakebug includes built-in Net Promoter Score (NPS) prompts that collect 0–10 ratings and written feedback directly inside your app.

Responses appear alongside session journeys and crash metrics, so product teams can see whether detractors hit specific bugs or slow network requests during their journeys.

Promoters vs Detractors Live NPS calculation with automated scoring and written commentary.
Journey Linked Inspect the exact session journey that led to a user rating or complaint.
