It feels like with every release, we are walking a tightrope. We need to keep our app lightweight, stable, and performant, all the while depending on APIs that can shift at any moment (without warning, too!).
After 1.6 million downloads, we have a responsibility to our users to keep quality high. We are proud to have kept our rating to 4.7 stars on the App Store, even though we’re a tiny team. So how do we do it?
The short answer: a safety net, built with Sentry. This post lays out how we use it at scale, from fixing crashes before users notice, to catching build issues, to getting user feedback that goes beyond the stack trace.
