clip.qa / Resources / Mobile app testing

Mobile QA Tool

Mobile app testing without the overhead.

Test any mobile app without installing an SDK. clip.qa records bugs on real iOS and Android devices and generates AI-powered bug reports instantly.

No SDK. No build dependencies. No vendor lock-in. Just record and report.

The problem

The SDK tax on mobile testing

Every SDK-based testing tool adds friction before you can report a single bug.

  1. 01

    SDK installation

    Tools like Instabug and Shake require you to install an SDK in your app. That means code changes, dependency management, and build configuration before a single bug gets reported.

  2. 02

    Build dependencies

    SDKs add weight to your binary, introduce potential conflicts, and create another dependency to audit for security and compliance. Every update requires rebuilding.

  3. 03

    Can't test competitor apps

    SDK tools only work inside YOUR app. Need to benchmark against a competitor? Test a third-party integration? Report a bug in an app you don't own? You're out of luck.

  4. 04

    Enterprise lock-in

    Once an SDK is embedded in your codebase, switching tools means ripping it out. Enterprise testing platforms use this to justify $100+/seat pricing because migration costs are high.

The clip.qa approach

How clip.qa is different

clip.qa works at the OS level. No SDK means no limitations.

  1. 01

    No SDK

    Zero code changes. Zero dependencies. Download clip.qa, open your app, and start testing. Works in 30 seconds.

  2. 02

    Record from device

    Screen record directly on your phone. clip.qa captures device info, OS version, network state, and timestamps automatically.

  3. 03

    Works on ANY app

    Your app, competitor apps, third-party integrations, pre-release TestFlight builds. If it runs on your phone, clip.qa can test it.

Mobile app testing FAQ

Do I need to install anything in my app?

No. clip.qa works entirely at the OS level using your phone's native screen recording. There is no SDK, no code snippet, no configuration file. Download clip.qa from the App Store, open the app you want to test, and start recording. It works on any app running on your device.

What devices are supported?

clip.qa is currently available on iOS (iPhone and iPad) running iOS 16 or later. Android support is on the roadmap and coming soon. Since clip.qa uses OS-level screen recording, it works with any app framework — native Swift/Kotlin, React Native, Flutter, Expo, or any other.

Can I test apps I don't own?

Yes. Because clip.qa doesn't require SDK integration, it can record and report bugs in any app on your device. This includes competitor apps, third-party integrations, TestFlight builds, and apps distributed through enterprise programs. This is a key advantage over SDK-based tools like Instabug or Shake.

How does this compare to BrowserStack?

BrowserStack and Sauce Labs provide remote device farms for cross-device testing. clip.qa takes a different approach: you test on your own real device and clip.qa handles bug capture and AI-powered reporting. BrowserStack doesn't generate bug reports or LLM-ready output. clip.qa is also free to start, while BrowserStack starts at $29/month. For teams that need both real-device testing and cloud device coverage, clip.qa complements BrowserStack rather than replacing it.
