Lookback Anywhere is an application available from this evening in Cydia, and it was specially designed for users who want to record all kinds of data while using the applications and not only. This application can record everything that happens on the screen, a video feed of the front camera, an audio feed provided by the main microphone of the iDevices, the touches made on the screen, the screens viewed by us, all data can be viewed on the website the producers.
Lookback Anywhere is a tool for user experience collection that is added to all the apps on your phone. Lookback records the screen, the front-facing camera, microphone, metadata, touches and active views, and uploads it all in near-realtime to lookback.io where you can study and dive into the data. Shake your device or short-press the lock screen button to start recording. You can configure this action from Activator. Some use cases have:
- User testing sessions. Instead of mounting web cams in your testing lab to record both the screen and your tester's reactions, let Lookback do the hard work for you.
- Long-term usability study. Let a user record a week of using your app, and study trends, reactions and recurring problems.
- Quality assurance. Record videos of found bugs, complete with a trace of how the tester reached it.
Being extremely useful for developers or various interesting people to record this data for studies, the application could prove to be dangerous because the data reaches the servers of the developers. If you are still interested in Lookback Anywhere, then I will tell you that you can download the application for free from the repo BigBoss al Cydia.
