The first thing Apptakes does is leave feedback — whether the tester does or not. Every session is captured automatically. And when they do have something to say, a microphone floats right on your app: talk, record the screen, or type it, the moment it happens.
10 free sessions per app, no card required. See install instructions · or .
You did the work to find testers. You shouldn't have to rely on everyone remembering to write a detailed report afterward.
After consent, Apptakes records clicks, navigation and activity, flags certain errors, and builds a session record.
The moment a tester hits a problem, the feedback button is already there — floating over your app, one tap away. No forms, no email, no "I'll write it up later." They can talk, record their screen to show the issue start to finish, or just type it.
Good feedback dies when asking feels like work — or when recording feels sneaky. So Apptakes opens every beta honestly: the app is in beta, activity is being logged to help improve it, and saying something takes one tap. Testers who know the deal give better feedback. Every tester, in every app, sees these exact words:
This app is in beta. To save you time and trouble, we’ve built in Apptakes, our own feedback tool. It sends us feedback from your session and alerts us to any bugs or errors you run into. Tap the button anytime to talk or type a note to us, or record a video of your screen to show us an issue from start to finish.
That approved wording ships inside the Apptakes widget — the same notice for every tester, in every app that installs it. Read how the data is handled.
Most feedback tools meter by seat, project or session. Apptakes is a flat rate per app you're testing — whether it's one tester or a hundred.
Honest status: paid billing is built (Stripe) but not yet turned on — every account today is on the free tier while we finish our own two-week internal beta. The $19/app/month rate above is our planned price, not a live charge. See what's required to install it.
Getting a sign-up is one thing. Getting useful feedback is another. Apptakes brings the evidence and the conversation into the app they're already testing.
A consenting tester can leave no comment and still produce activity worth reviewing. You have more to work with than a list of people who signed up.
Voice and typed notes sit alongside the session's activity, errors and available replay. You can investigate a comment in context.
Each developer's apps, sessions and replay are isolated to their own account — nobody else can read them.
Create a free account, register your web app, and copy the generated script tag — or hand the install kit to your AI coding assistant and let it place the widget for you.
They accept the recording disclosure and test in their browser. The feedback button is right there when they want to speak, type or start a supported screen recording.
Sign in and every app you've installed is listed with its own reports under it: the AI narrative, the tester's notes, errors and replay. A report email can follow each session too.
Testers never see your setup or session data — only the feedback button. Existing developer? See the install kit →
In full recording mode, after consent, the widget captures supported activity and periodically sends it to your session dashboard. You can review captured events, estimated engagement, errors and available replay even when no note is submitted. Delivery depends on connectivity and browser behavior — it isn't a guarantee every event arrives.
No. It records the beta session so you can debug it: by default, text testers type into your app's fields is shown in the replay so you can see their real input. Password fields are always masked. One switch per app in Setup masks every field instead.
A survey depends on someone replying. Replay helps you inspect behavior. Apptakes combines passive session evidence, easy in-app notes, an AI-written narrative and follow-up tracking in one workflow.
Capturing events, replay and recordings adds some processing and network traffic. The effect depends on your app, device and recording mode. A suggestions-only mode (data-mode="suggest") is available when you want voluntary feedback without automatic activity capture or replay.
Yes, for browser-based web apps, including mobile browser experiences and web PWAs where the required browser features are supported. Voice needs microphone permission. Optional screen video is available on supported desktop browsers only. There's no separate native iOS or Android app.
Yes — create a free account and register your app. We're still in our own internal beta with three of our own products, so expect rough edges and direct attention if you run into one. Paid plans aren't charging yet; see Pricing above.
