I am still learning how to get the most out of the tool, but I love how easy it is to quickly test on devices I wouldn't otherwise have access to. I've mostly used it for website testing from a mobile perspective, rather than for app testing.

It gets a little difficult with how closely it is run with google cloud. Sometimes google cloud gives a bit of difficulty, but besides that it’s relatively nice to use.
