What’s New at Bugfender?
Bugfender 2.0 – Sneak Peek
Over the summer we’ve been hard at work developing the next version of Bugfender. With its release getting closer, we’d like to give you a sneak peek of what’s coming:
- We’ve revamped our UI, improving Bugfender’s usability and accessibility to provide a more pleasurable experience. As with all UX design, this is something that we’ll continue to tweak and improve over time, so please get in touch if you have any suggestions.
- We’ve also massively improved our search capabilities. You can now search within all logs from a device, and even across all devices.
- We’ve given the teams pages an overhaul, where you can now set icons and custom date formats.
- Invoices will soon be sent via email as attachments!
- We can also send invoices to alternative email addresses too, for example, your accounting team!
That’s not all, stay tuned for more details to follow soon!
macOS SDK
Expanding on our range of mobile app loggers, we’ve now prepared a macOS SDK to help you fight bugs in your desktop applications. We’re currently in beta and would love to hear your feedback. If you’re interested in participating, please contact us.

Case Study
Eye-D – Bringing Independence to the Visually Impaired
As I was speaking to Shaswat Jena from Eye-D, he asked me to imagine the simple act of walking through a city and how my sight allows me to navigate with the help of landmarks, street signs, and other visual cues. For the visually impaired, that simple act of independence – of finding their way through a city – is much more complex.
Eye-D has combined crash reporting with Bugfender to get the information that they need to fix any bugs that may arise, all without having to wait for user reports to get more information.
