Love Bird Eats Bug for Bug Reporting!
Ever since the software was introduced to our team, it has been a huge help to standardize the screen capture software across the company and provide the necessary details when logging bugs so that our Product team can pinpoint the issues.
PROSI love how the software lets me capture all of the important information necessary for our engineering team to debug issues in our tool.
CONSI wish it could upload my files just a tad faster
Reasons for switching to Bird Eats Bug
The added layer of including the browser console information automatically made switching a logical and easy choice
Vendor Response
Hi Carolyn, Thanks a lot for your feedback. The issue with slower uploads could be caused by having a lot of information in the "Network" tab. We have already made improvements to the size of the uploaded files, but we will keep optimising the uploads nonetheless. Thanks again, Bird team

I love BEB!!
BEB saved a lot of time for me and my team we can now screen record a bug so fast and it includes most of the information the Developers and QA need to fix the issue. It also saved a lot of storage space in my laptop :D
PROS-The product is very easy to use I love how everything is displayed on one page and yet they are all clear. - I like how I can share it with the team using a link and not having to download the video and send it (it doesn't take space) - The new Network features are very helpful not to mention the consol!
CONSfrom time to time BEB logs me out and it does not save my email, it would be nice if when I click on the email field it would show the most frequent emails I use to log in (my work email is kind of long)
Reasons for switching to Bird Eats Bug
when using snagit I had to download the video to my laptop and send it to the team member it took more storage and time. Snagit was not built for bug reporting unlike BEB it has more helpful features for reporting bugs

Satisfied customer
I am very picky about using third party tools. Tried to cover this mission for a while using Loom with Chrome Dev Tools open for capturing bugs, but didn't quite cut it.
CONSThe name is kind of strange :-). It does it's mission and is pretty easy to learn.
Reasons for switching to Bird Eats Bug
Loom didn't capture dev tools info. Their admin and pricing are annoying.

Issues with recording
The recordings are useful and clear. The concept of the tool is solid.
CONSIt's glitchy, often fails to record, or fails to save. (Using chrome) It will crash if a page sends out a lot of errors.
Vendor Response
Hi Kevin, Thanks a lot for bringing this up. We have indeed noticed that a small number of users have issues with uploads when there are a lot of errors on the recorded page. Our engineers have already made a few big improvements to that mechanism, so the issue should not be as big any more, but we will definitely keep improving the stability. Thanks once again for your feedback - it's super helpful, Bird team

Bird Eats Bugs helps Start-ups to solve Bugs and develop new functionalities
fantastic tools that helps start up to solve bugs and develop new features. Keep doing the good job
PROSEasy to Use, great at record bugs, helps start up to solve bugs and develop new features
CONSpermission roles are certainly important and not all public viewers can see the recording
Vendor Response
Hi Sergioandrea, Thanks a ton for reviewing Bird. We are actually soon releasing more granular access permissions. Right now though you can already let only your team access the recordings. In the upper right corner you can see the "Share" button. If you click on the carat, you can select "Private" and "Set as Default". In this case only the members of your workspace will be able to see the video. Hope that helps, but feel free to reach out to me or support@birdeatsbug.com - we're happy to help with access controls (and anything else). Thanks a lot, Dan

Finally a product like Bird!
I worked in support for one year and then transitioned into product, still doing a lot of 3rd level support and debugging. Before Bird, we always had a hard time gathering all the important data from support or any employee and then also conveying the information in a way that engineering can quickly fix the bug. Data ways always missing, was incomplete and so there was a lot of back and forth involved until we were able to pinpoint the bug. No more with Bird! We record a video or make a screenshot, create the JIRA bug ticket out of it right away, done.
PROSThe ability to capture feedback and data related to bugs or QA review in a format that ensures that the data is so complete, that engineering can act on it.
CONSI would love it if we could implement Bird in our web app so customers can also use it! Right now, we can only use it internally.
Reasons for switching to Bird Eats Bug
Bird captures console data and has a JIRA integration
Vendor Response
Hi Lars, Thanks a lot for your feedback. We do have plans to make Bird experience available without installing a browser extension. Cannot yet share any timelines, but it will come - stay tuned :) Thanks again, Bird Team

One of the best issue recording tool out there
All in all it's easy to use and logs are really easy to read and understand. Also log content has really good information to let you know what's happening

Save a significant amount of time if your team has more than three developers.
Overall, it's been super useful and has saved me a lot of time. I have recommended it to a couple of friends and reported bugs to their projects.
PROSScreen recording captures network requests, console errors, and timeline.
CONSThe app is extremely buggy and crashes frequently.
Vendor Response
HI Serafim, Thanks a lot for your review. We would really like to understand why the extension is crashing for you. Do you mind contacting us at support@birdeatsbug.com so that we can schedule a call for example? Alternatively, you can report any bugs very easily if you click the "?" icon in the bottom right corner of the screen when you're inside Bird. Thanks in advance, Dan

Excellent for QA testing and Bug Reporting
Screen recording and capture to report, title and describe bugs. I can QA in half the time or less with Bird Eats Bug.
CONSIt would be nice if there was a way you could install Bird Eats Bug to track mobile bugs and issues when QA'ing.
Vendor Response
Hi Kinsey, Thanks a lot for your review! For testing on mobile browsers you can actually install our web SDK: https://sdk.birdeatsbug.com/ If you mean native apps on mobile however, then we don't yet have support for that. Hope that helps, Dan

Fantastic piece of software that developers love
Fantastic experience, helpful customer support. Been using it on recommendation from someone I worked with and brought it over when I changed jobs. Will be using this neat little app as long as it's around I'm sure! Keep up the good work
PROSI love how easy it is to use and record a bug! It takes seconds to create a recording, seconds to upload it and seconds to upload. End users can use it, support team and myself when testing new features. Developers love it and find it really helpful to have all the information in one place
CONSPotentially the experience of how it is shared? End user or clients have to download the app, then record, then sign-in to upload. It can be a big of a barrier. More browsers would be nice as well! I don't think you can do anything about this but sometimes I need to be testing on incognito mode - it's a shame extensions can be used in incognito mode!
Reason for choosing Bird Eats Bug
Never researched alternatives - it was free to use, easy to use and effective. I'm speaking to my company to get a license for it because I think it's fantastic
Vendor Response
Hi Zimo, Thanks a lot for your review. 1. We do plan to have an SDK version of Bird, that you would be able to integrate in your product and it will allow anyone to report a bug without installing an extension. Cannot yet guarantee anything in terms of timelines, but it will come :) 2. You can actually use Bird in incognito mode as well. You just to right-click on the Bird extension, click "Manage extensions", scroll down to "Allow in incognito" and enable that option. Hope that helps. Thanks again for your review, Bird team

Absolute essential for frontend engineers in R&D, and very helpful for QA and CS
Great! The team is very responsive, and the product works very well. I especially like that ANYONE can use it - pretty much everyone uses Chrome (or a Chromium-based browser, like Edge, Brave etc.) and it's super easy to use.
PROSIt's really easy to set up and use, and it makes describing bugs A LOT easier than what you're probably used to (text bullet points). It really makes my job as a frontend developer a lot easier when I have a Bird Eats Bug liked attached to a ticket. There's plenty of useful information attached to the session, and those are things that aren't usually attached to plain screen recordings.
CONSIt logs me out from time to time, and there's no integration with anything other than Jira, which is a bit annoying - but it's still a 1-click to copy the link, and that's usable anywhere...
Vendor Response
Hi Ben, Thanks a lot for your review. The login behaviour is unfortunately a bug from our authentication provider. We have already implemented a few workarounds, but we plan to replace the current authentication setup to solve those issues. As for integrations, we also have Trello/Linear + we will soon release Slack and GitHub integrations, so we hope you will find those useful. Thanks again, Bird Team

Very helpful and innovative tool
Overall i think this is already ahead of its time and had GREAT potential!!!
PROS"Fire and forget" feeling of the console flow and possible errors Screen capturing and uploading it on the cloud makes sharing easier compared with other solutions
CONSLack of Firefox extension Not being able to get multiple recording in one session or at least multiple screenshots in a waterfall/timeline manner , so i can upload one session with many screens (to illustrate the problem better) instead of limiting for one screen per session or uploading multiple sessions.
Reason for choosing Bird Eats Bug
I work in parallel with bird eats bug and SnagIt and use each whenever feels more convenient(or faster) at the time. Not sure if BEB can have keyboard shortcuts
Vendor Response
Hi Vaios, thanks a lot for your review. The good news is that some of the things you mentioned are already on the roadmap. We will definitely add shortcuts - it's actually something we wanted to do for a while. As for adding multiple screenshots, it was actually possible before, but the interface was not very intuitive which is why we want to go back to the drawing board and improve it.

PROSGreat for capturing errors in time with bugs on a site. Haven't found anything better.
CONSLogin functionality is clunky. When you click login it asks you to signup, and then there are several steps you have to go through to actually get logged in and your recording uploaded.
Reasons for switching to Bird Eats Bug

Review
Its been really great!! Where before knowing about birds eats bug a lot of my time used to go in recording via windows recorder or other applications but this helped as it captured the logs and saved the time where I don't have to explain later over a call on how to reproduce the bugs which I just saw roaming around.
PROSEasy and quick to use, the extension made life so much easier :)
CONSWhile sharing the recording the process or the time it takes to load the page + over all sharing UI it could just be shown outside instead of tucking it inside under 3 dots but that's just my suggestion.
Vendor Response
Hi Jay, Thanks a lot for your review. We will actually improve the sharing UI soon, so it will be faster to copy a link. You assigned 1 star to customer support. Could you please let us know what went wrong? Please, feel free to reach out to me directly at dan@birdeatsbug.com. Thank you, Dan

Really great and useful software
I like how you can see the network info and console logs for the recorded tab. That gives most of the information while watching the video. Audi capture is really useful when QA team needs to convey some message which they can't convey during screen recording.
