Reviewing Session Recordings on the Go

Session recordings, pocket-sized

Session recordings let you watch exactly what users do in your product. It's the closest thing to looking over someone's shoulder — and it's incredibly useful for debugging issues, understanding UX problems, and building empathy with your users.

With HogPocket, you can browse and review session recordings anywhere.

Finding the right session

The recordings tab shows your most recent sessions by default. But the real power is in filtering:

Filter by duration

Tap the duration filter to focus on sessions of a specific length. Short sessions (under 30s) often indicate confused users or broken flows. Long sessions might indicate power users or users who are stuck.

Filter by page

Looking for sessions that visited a specific page? Use the URL filter to narrow down. Great for investigating issues on a specific feature.

Filter by user properties

Filter by country, device type, or any custom user property. Useful when investigating region-specific issues.

Reviewing a session

Tap a session to open the detail view. You'll see:

Page flow — A list of pages the user visited, in order. This alone tells you a lot about the user's intent and journey.

Duration — How long the session lasted and how long was spent on each page.

Event timeline — Key events that fired during the session, with timestamps.

Tips for mobile session review

Use recordings to verify bugs — When someone reports a bug, find a recording of the issue instead of trying to reproduce it yourself.

Review after deploys — After shipping a feature, check recordings to see if users are finding and using it as expected.

Share findings — Take a screenshot of an interesting session detail and share it in Slack. Sometimes a single session tells a story that no metric can.

Set up alerts — Use HogPocket's alert feature to get notified when error events spike, then jump straight to recordings to investigate.

What's coming

We're working on bringing full session replay playback to HogPocket — not just the metadata and event timeline, but the actual visual replay. Stay tuned.
