Flexible Feature Flags and Target Segments That Streamline Mobile Releases
What do you like best about the product?
LD's Feature Flag tools are so flexible and handle every situation that I encounter in my role as a PM of mobile apps. We regularly release new features behind a flag and use target segments to give select customers early access to beta test and provide feedback before full rollouts. Those segments can be used for multiple FFs, making it very convenient when managing multiple flags for android/iOS/etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only pain point I have right now is enforcement of rules around describing exactly how a given FF works. When managing flags that predate my time working on the app I have to go digging to confirm exactly how they are working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LD helps hugely in feature rollouts, especially as we often develop features for one platform before another but roll them out at the same time. I haven't yet hit a limit on our workflows thanks to the flexibility.
Effortless Feature Control with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I love how LaunchDarkly allows us to easily control new features by letting us deploy quickly with features behind flags, removing worries about causing issues in our production environment. It's great that I can also use it to selectively give access to specific users, whether for early beta testing or entitlement control. I really appreciate its quick and straightforward implementation. I can easily create a new flag, call that in the code, and use it to wrap features, plus the instant updates in the UI are fantastic, as I don't need to refresh. The LaunchDarkly extension in VSCode is also very useful for quickly toggling flags in dev environments. Setting up LaunchDarkly was pretty easy; I installed the launchdarkly-react-client-sdk and bootstrapped the LDProvider in our React app to use hooks for calling flag values.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the UX around controlling the more in-depth configuration and variations on flags can feel a bit clunky or burdensome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly lets us deploy quickly with features behind flags, avoiding production issues. It provides selective access for beta testing and entitlement control, making feature management and user control effective.
Screen Recordings Make Debugging Complex TypeScript Apps Effortless
What do you like best about the product?
It lets me watch a recording of the user’s screen while they’re using my app, so I can pinpoint the exact issue and understand whether it was user error or an actual system problem. For example, my app is a TypeScript app with lots of different features—AI integration, plenty of chat in the UI, 3D rendering, and other things that are hard to troubleshoot using only the console.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it breaks when the session is really long and has a lot of logs. It gets the memory usage of my chrome tab really high and it just break causing an OOM issue
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It lets me view user sessions easily and follow the execution timeline. It also integrates with Slack, which helps me get answers faster. The AI feature is useful for understanding issues that might otherwise feel ambiguous.
Real-Time Flag Tracking and Evaluation That Delivers
What do you like best about the product?
I like the real time tracking of flags and their evaluation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the UI can be a bit non-intuitive at times. Especially when trying to navigate different environments or see flags that relate to the same features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use LaunchDarkly for feature flagging. It allows us to roll out features more quickly and consistently
Easy to Use with Strong Environment Management and a Consistent 2PR Review Process
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. Ability to manage by environments and the review process to ensure 2PR is always followed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Intelligence in identifying duplicate or related rules and simplifying them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Feature roll outs by customer, region, organization or environment.
Effortless Integration, Superb Feature Flagging
What do you like best about the product?
I use LaunchDarkly every day for instrumentation, telemetry, and feature tracking, and I really appreciate how easy it is to integrate with various connections. I also like the feature flagging abilities, which allow us to ship more confidently by tracking what we are building is correct. The customer support is great, as it gives us the opportunity to ask questions whenever needed. The initial setup was fairly easy and seamless, which was a big help when switching from our previous platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think analytics and dashboarding is really clunky and underdeveloped
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly for feature tracking, which aids in better tracking if what we are building is correct. Its integration is easy with many connections available, and the customer support gives us time to ask questions.
Targeted Feature Releases with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I like that LaunchDarkly allows me to create segments of targeted accounts that I can edit and filter. I also like the option of choosing the specific accounts I want to be impacted by a new feature or announcement, and having this visibility for the rest of the team. It provides a way to release features to specific accounts with order and keeps track of these releases and changes. It also makes it easy to keep all the team aware of these nuances. Setting it up was easy since my company already had a workspace, and once I got the explanation from my colleagues on how things work, I was able to get it up and running.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have a strong technical background, so sometimes I don't find it as intuitive as it could be. I needed to be explained by colleagues how the platform works in order to be able to use it properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly to release specific features to some accounts and add announcements. It keeps track of these releases, ensuring the team is aware of these changes.
Intuitive and Efficient for Feature Management
What do you like best about the product?
I find LaunchDarkly very intuitive and easy to navigate. You can create flags easily, and editing them is just as simple. Even new users can quickly understand how it works. Being able to easily add or remove functionalities on a live product is invaluable. We release new features at least twice a month, and having the agility to turn flags off for various reasons in a very efficient way makes LaunchDarkly the best partner for software development. It was our first go-to and it keeps rocking it.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that could be improved is the archived flags- right now there is no fast way to bulk reactivate flags.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
LaunchDarkly lets me toggle features in our product interface, adding or removing them easily on a live product. This efficiency is critical since we release new features regularly, ensuring we can manage flags swiftly.
Effortless Feature Management with LaunchDarkly
What do you like best about the product?
I find LaunchDarkly very beginner-friendly, which is great for easing the learning curve. Its low latency updates are extremely useful, especially when I need to instantly turn off a feature flag to disable faulty code, preventing issues with minimal delay. I also appreciate the full control it offers for A/B testing, allowing for detailed customization of how a feature looks to different users. The initial setup was very straightforward, and overall, LaunchDarkly serves me well with the analytics info it provides.
What do you dislike about the product?
One additional good feature would be to be able to see the full audit history trail of how a feature flag was changed over time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use LaunchDarkly for feature flags to enable or disable code changes instantly, avoiding redeployments. It abstracts CI/CD management, offers low latency for immediate fixes, and customizable AB testing. It's beginner-friendly and straightforward, replacing our hard-to-maintain in-house product.
