  ### 3. very good application crash report for android

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andy C. | Freelancer, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2017

2. It allows developer to custom report contents.
3. Developer can be notified earlier when application is crashed.

**What do you dislike about ACRA?**

No central report repository to collect entire errors. I know there is a report server "Acralyzer" which developed by ACRA team. But this server should be built by customers. It will be better if ACRA can provide cloud service.

**What problems is ACRA solving and how is that benefiting you?**

To fix bugs earlier when the application is crashed.
It will improve user experience.


  ### 4. Flexible Open Source Crash Reporting for Android

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Conner K. | Software Development Manager, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 03, 2016

**What do you like best about ACRA?**

ACRA is easy to set up client side, and offers a lot of power in reporting. Our team has ACRA reporting going into Splunk agregation, which allows us to make sophisticated queries to generate metrics to better support our customers. ACRA's custom data fields make it easy to inject domain- and application-specific information into crash reports for even more value.

**What do you dislike about ACRA?**

ACRA's server-side support is a little weak. ACRAlyzer seems to be mostly abandoned as a platform, and there aren't very many other endpoints to take in it's data. Luckily, ACRA's reports are just JSON blobs, so they are highly useable in other contexts, and some other tools can do some pretty effective automatic parsing. The big challenge for us historically has been piping data to endpoints that can provide enough utility to be of value.

**Recommendations to others considering ACRA:**

Consider how you will consume reports and what information will need to be extracted and deployed for ACRA to be useful. Make sure you are willing to invest the time to build out your reporting tooling.

**What problems is ACRA solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use ACRA to get reporting on when our Android applications crash. It allows us to see trends, capture hot issues quickly, and get deep insight into what is causing issues visible to our users. It also allows us to send up arbitrary reports that help get additional information on areas of interest.

**What do you like best about ACRA?**

There are many products which does the same job as ACRA. But, ACRA gives you the opportunity to customize what you would like to see, and what you don't find valuable. Exception reporting is also another great feature of ACRA.

**What do you dislike about ACRA?**

I don't like to put the code in every Exception, there should be a global method which would enable exception reporting and not, instead of writing handleException() in each Exception close.

**What problems is ACRA solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are using ACRA to improve our product on Android platform which would make us achieve much better user experience and also determine the problems in a technical ways that users are talking about.
