Maestro is one of the most practical and developer-friendly mobile automation tools I’ve used. The YAML-based syntax is clean and intuitive, making it easy to build and maintain test flows without heavy boilerplate or complex setup. Writing tests feels fast and natural, especially for common user journeys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Maestro is very strong overall, debugging can sometimes be less transparent when a flow fails mid-execution, especially compared to more mature frameworks with deeper inspection tooling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scripting the flow in natural language enables even developers to create and update flows with minimal effort, which is especially helpful for distributed teams maintaining automation scripts. In parallel, it also supports a page-object approach using IDs, making locators easier to manage and maintain. The way it uses JavaScript (inline or in a JS file) also helps keep the implementation modular and scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. The execution time on the cloud is too high.

Easy to use and friendly for non-developers. The tooling is good and makes it straightforward to write tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maestro can be quite slow to respond to certain commands, such as stopping a task. I think it could be faster and more responsive overall. sometimes i feel it shows that the foundation is java from error traces and overall sluggishness Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can quickly write automated tests for apps, whether they are native or ReactNative, running on Android or iOS. The learning curve was very brief. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The IDE is problematic, sometimes it fails and cannot identify running emulators. The execution of the tests is a bit slow as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
