If you want crash reporting + actionable error alerts for a mobile app, the most common choices are:
Good options
- Firebase Crashlytics
- Best for mobile-first apps
- Automatic crash reporting, non-fatal errors, breadcrumbs
- Easy to integrate with Firebase Analytics
- Sentry
- Great for both crashes and handled exceptions
- Strong alerting, issue grouping, performance tracing
- Works well if you also want backend/web support
- Bugsnag
- Solid crash reporting and alerting
- Good release tracking and stability scores
- Datadog / New Relic
- Better if you want observability across app + backend + infrastructure
- Usually heavier and more expensive
What to look for
- Automatic crash capture
- Non-fatal exception logging
- Breadcrumbs/session replay of user actions leading to crash
- Release/version tracking
- Real-time alerts to email, Slack, PagerDuty, etc.
- Symbolication for native crashes
- User/device context
- Privacy controls and consent support
My recommendation
- If you want the simplest mobile crash reporting: Firebase Crashlytics
- If you want richer alerts and better issue management: Sentry
Typical setup
- Add SDK to iOS/Android
- Enable release/version tagging
- Capture handled exceptions and custom errors
- Set alert rules:
- crash spike
- new issue
- issue affecting many users
- regression after release
- Send alerts to Slack/email/PagerDuty
If you tell me:
- iOS, Android, or both
- your framework (native, React Native, Flutter, Swift, Kotlin)
- whether you want free/low-cost or enterprise
…I can recommend the best tool and give you an exact integration plan.
