If you have worked on a mobile app for any amount of time, you already know one thing. Bug reporting is often frustrating. You get a crash log. You get a network error. You get a stack trace that points to the very end of a problem. And then you are left trying to guess everything that happened before that moment.

It feels like walking into a movie three minutes before it ends and trying to guess the entire story.

That is the reality of traditional bug reporting.

Now imagine something different. Imagine being able to see exactly what your app was doing inside its functions. You could see what input it received, how it behaved, where things slowed down, and what actually caused the issue. That is the idea behind function tracking. And once you understand it, you can clearly see why it is a far better approach.

Imagine this.

You just rolled a major update in your app. It passed QA, went through internal testing, and your team is pumped. Marketing is in full swing. Downloads shoot up. Everything looks perfect!

Until it is not.

Support tickets piling up - weird bugs, login loops, abandoned carts. Reviews dip from 4.8 to 3.2. Your churn rate spikes. You double-check the logs but find zero clues there.

What happened?
You missed the silent killers. The bugs and performance hiccups that only show up after release, in the wild. By the time you notice, users have already jumped ship. And trust me, they don't come back.
