Userlytics makes user experience testing easy, efficient and fun with its state-of-the-art no-download web recorder. This revolutionary user experience testing recorder allows participants to jump right into usability tests directly with a simple click of a button; this means you can more easily reach out to any customer, prospect or user to obtain UX insights and improve your customer experience right away! Below we go over some advantages of the new and improved UX testing usertesting recorder.

No-Download Required

With our new usertesting recorder, the only thing your participants will need before they can join a usability test is an invitation link. By entering the link into their browser, the participant will automatically be able to join the usability test without having to download any extensions, plugins or applications. This creates a smoother, more enjoyable testing experience for the participant, and allows you to get your test results sooner! Additionally, because participants never have to leave their browser to join a test, our no-download recorder significantly decreases the participant dropoff rate. This improves the overall completion and success rate of your UX tests.

Prevents Firewall Blocks
