Hey Sumolings 👋

Quick note to make Custom Branding (Tier 3) super clear — best explained by seeing it live.

With Tier 3 branding, we focus on the client review experience, specifically:

• Your brand as the subdomain on the review link (client-facing) | Eg: your-company.bugsmash.io
• Your logo + brand name as the primary identity inside the review experience | When clients open the link

This way, when clients open the link, they experience your branding and personalization from the very first interaction.

Instead of explaining more, here’s a live custom-branded review link you can try 👇https://solutionwise.bugsmash.io/review/mxjhM

Click around, add a comment, and experience the flow exactly as your clients would.

If after trying it you feel something’s missing or could be better, we genuinely want to hear it.

Hey Sumolings 👋

Last month, our article was published on AP News - sharing an insight we’ve seen repeatedly while building BugSmash.

I really feel this:

“The irony of the digital age is that we built faster tools, but slower teams. After building hundreds of products, we realized the real blocker isn’t bad developers or designers. It’s how feedback flows, or rather, how it doesn’t.”

The article breaks down how fragmented feedback (emails, chats, screenshots, calls) quietly becomes the biggest bottleneck in product development - slowing reviews, approvals, and shipping.

That exact problem is why BugSmash exists:

centralised visual feedback → clear ownership → faster approvals → faster shipping.

— Nabil & team 🚀

Hey Sumo-lings!

I’m Nabil, founder of BugSmash. We are incredibly excited to bring our “Client Review & Feedback OS" to the AppSumo community.

For years, we watched as creative and development teams struggled with the same nightmare: Feedback Chaos. You know the drill—client comments scattered across messy email threads, conflicting WhatsApp messages, vague screenshots, and Loom links that nobody has time to watch. Teams waste hours guessing what a client means, leading to rework and missed deadlines.

We built BugSmash to be the Universal Feedback Layer for the Internet. Our vision is simple: if it can be shared, it can be reviewed. We aren't just another annotation tool; we are the infrastructure that sits between your creation and your client's approval.

Why BugSmash is the #1 Alternative to Atarim, MarkUp, and BugHerd:

Multi-Format Mastery:

Most tools only handle websites. BugSmash "speaks every file's language," allowing you to annotate live websites, dynamic web apps (React/Vue/Angular), Android mobile apps, videos, audio, PDFs, and images all in one platform.

Zero-Friction Collaboration:

Stop asking your busy clients or CEOs to "create an account". With our no-signup guest links, stakeholders can drop precise, visual comments instantly without ever logging in.

Built for Power Users

We don't just collect feedback; we manage it like a product backlog. Use threaded replies, private internal comments, and version control to track every change across revisions.

Actionable Task Management:

BugSmash integrates seamlessly with your existing workflow. As soon as a comment is added, it can automatically create a Jira ticket and notify your Slack channel, turning feedback into trackable tasks instantly.

AI-Powered Insights (Beta):

Use our AI tool to "Roast Your Website" or perform instant accessibility and UI/UX audits to catch errors before your client even sees the build.

The Founder’s Commitment

We are a product-driven team obsessed with workflow efficiency. We are shipping updates weekly and are deeply invested in making BugSmash the default feedback infrastructure for agencies, freelancers, and product teams worldwide.

By joining us through this AppSumo Lifetime Plan, you aren't just getting a tool; you're getting a partner dedicated to eliminating your feedback bottlenecks. Whether you are a solo creator or a growing agency, we scale with your team, not your bill.

Stop the back-and-forth. Smash the bugs & issues, skip the chaos, and deliver 10X faster.

We can’t wait to hear your feedback (on our feedback tool!) in the comments below.

Cheers,
Nabil & the BugSmash Team
