The New Standard for Mobile Excellence

Agentic AI resolution
Luciq moves beyond monitoring with Agentic AI. We analyze user sessions to find root causes and suggest code-level fixes. Transform your team from reactive bug-fixers to proactive stability engineers.
Full contextual observability
Firebase lacks context with its 64kB log limit. Luciq delivers comprehensive mobile observability with every report, eliminating manual reproduction via ANR detection and deep debugging context for faster fixes.
Unified ‘North Star’ mobile metrics
Luciq provides a single north-star metric for stability, network, and UI health. This unified approach requires zero custom instrumentation, giving leaders an immediate, accurate measure of overall app health.

More Case Studies
Luciq gives us a finger on the pulse of our users and their experience, helping us catch and fix major issues in production before their impact grows.
Vivek Karuturi
Native Apps Engineering Lead
“Luciq gives us a real-time safety net; we’re detecting and patching issues in under 30 minutes, often before our users or even our backend systems realize something is wrong."
Tommy McIntosh
Staff Platform Engineer
Before Luciq, we didn’t have a workflow. With a single centralized location for app data, developers could now quickly assess which situations needed their attention most urgently and strategize best solutions faster.
Maxime Harter
Engineering Manager
We have integrations with Luciq to manage our releases and automatically label them. Then we're able to go in very quickly and look at all the issues that were reported on that release version.
