TryMyUI

TryMyUI for Android is an app that lets your phone become a mobile research lab. It records how real people use your website, app, or prototype and includes a video of users thinking aloud.

How Remote User Testing Actually Works

The app addresses a problem that has existed in mobile testing for years: how does one get original «user behavior analytics» without cumbersome external cameras or a fake lab? When a person initiates a test, TryMyUI records their screen as they narrate their experience. It shows every tap, swipe, and moment of confusion. And with touch point markers, you can see exactly where their fingers land. The system gets every swipe with directional arrows and highlights selection. This offers remarkable detail to the user journey. This type of qualitative user feedback combined with heatmap visualization is potent, as we can see patterns of engagement. Further, task completion scoring measures the success of users moving through certain flows. You are getting a “What” (quantifiable data) and a “Why” (told frustrations) all in one session.

It works both on Android and iOS to test them across platforms. For iOS native app testing, the SDK needs integration to work. With demographic audience targeting you can recruit specific users, while post-test surveys and system usability surveys look at participant impressions after they have completed their tasks. Video transcription puts your spoken feedback in writing, which is easy to search; video annotations with timestamps allow teams to tag important points that they can easily refer to later. It’s like having a focus group that works on your timetable not theirs.

The Credit System and the Learning Curve

TryMyUI charges on a credit-based pricing and will cost you at least $99 per month. You can also get annual subscriptions. This flexible approach allows businesses to manage their «website usability testing» budget, but it requires careful organization as credits vanish with each test conducted. The service is great for businesses of all sizes but especially for small businesses that want great data without paying for expensive in-person testing facilities.

However, the complete analytical tools have a real learning curve. The A/B testing and feedback tools are so deep that you will find yourself spending time on how to get more from recordings and heatmaps. According to user feedback, you need to actively recruit for testing pool to test effectively. The platform provides testers but you become dependent on the platform testing video analysis workflow and reporting. You can think of it like a powerful microscope that has an amazing capability if you know what knobs to turn.

Software that records your screen and reveals friction points

What makes these “mobile testing tools” so powerful is that we are recording real time interaction. We are not putting any device for people. When a person struggles to find their way or to click on that call-to-action button, you see it live accompanied by their verbal reaction on top. The mix of user behaviour data and verbal context is what makes “remote user testing” ultimately beneficial for product development decisions.

You require a stable internet connection in order to use the app. The need for SDK integration for iOS native apps poses a technical barrier that could overburden some teams.

If you’re on the product team looking for real feedback about friction points and usability problems, TryMyUI gives you real knowledge without the overhead of a research facility. Although the credit system and investment in learning really exist, shipping features without knowing how they’ll be used (as opposed to what one has seen being used) usually costs way more. If you’re deciding on interfaces or user flows, and need qualitative evidence to support those decisions, this app brings the research lab to your users’ pockets.
