Are you a developer, a product guy, or from the support team? Then you know very well that there couldn’t be a more frustrating experience for your user in your app than to see the message “the app is not responding” on the screen.
With that arises a lot of questions like, why does this happen? How do we fix it? In this article, we discuss a few of the Android crash reporting tools.
Before we dive into that, you should understand the reasons behind it to make the right decisions for your app.
ANR or App not responding, this event happens when the app doesn’t respond to the input given by the user within 5 seconds pushing the app to an unresponsive state which we usually call ‘hanging of the app’.
There has always been a blurred understanding between two similar events in the app called ANR and the app crash. But they are not the same. ANR leads to an unresponsive state of the app giving the user a choice to leave the app or wait for it to respond.
The crash in turn leads to the unexpected closing of the app.
The reasons for the app crash could be different ranging from insufficient testing or poor memory management, but it is vital to fix the errors that caused the app to crash as the users are unlikely to return to the app that has given an awful and unsatisfactory experience.
The tools that help find the cause of the app crash, and provide the data necessary to repair the errors that caused them are called Crash reporting tools.
