5. Start watching your users' most problematic sessions
Use the quick filters to easily find sessions with Rage tap, Rage quits, Crashes and UI Freezes. Once you click on a session replay, easily jump to where rage taps or UI Freezes are happening right on the timeline by looking for flames and snowflakes!
Improve your user onboarding with session replay
Watch closely examine the "First Sessions Segment" and pinpoint any friction encountered during onboarding. Click on "Segments" at the top of your UXCam dashboard to find some pre-made default segments including the "First session segment". Improving the first impression can really increase the engagement of your users.
💡Tip » If you'd like to watch sessions a specific user had in order, use the previous and next user session arrows. This is very useful when you want to follow the user's journey, or discover how a crash impacted your user's experience.
