You can input a web URL and write a simple task. Userbrain takes care of the rest by recruiting for you and sending you recordings, five to 15-minutes long, that you can watch any time.

If you use multiple solutions (for example, User Testing, Hotjar and a survey tool), it would definitely be worthwhile to look into consolidating everything into a tool like UserZoom.

If that sounds exciting, this tool is for you. Capture feedback from standards like heatmaps and conversion funnels to feedback polls, surveys and anonymous screen recordings on your site. You can set up a chat-like widget for quick surveys, recruitment or general support. You owe it to yourself to at least try this out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"05-ux-booth\">05.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.uxbooth.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UX Booth<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-attachment-id=\"1135\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/azoora.com\/blog\/tools\/six-great-ux-testing-tools\/attachment\/hhqggudfta3bf2c55sepje-650-80\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/azoora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/HhQGGuDftA3BF2c55SepJE-650-80.png\" data-orig-size=\"650,308\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"HhQGGuDftA3BF2c55SepJE-650-80\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/azoora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/HhQGGuDftA3BF2c55SepJE-650-80-300x142.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/azoora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/HhQGGuDftA3BF2c55SepJE-650-80.png\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"650\" height=\"308\" src=\"https:\/\/azoora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/HhQGGuDftA3BF2c55SepJE-650-80.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/azoora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/HhQGGuDftA3BF2c55SepJE-650-80.png 650w, https:\/\/azoora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/HhQGGuDftA3BF2c55SepJE-650-80-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/azoora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/HhQGGuDftA3BF2c55SepJE-650-80-580x275.png 580w, https:\/\/azoora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/HhQGGuDftA3BF2c55SepJE-650-80-320x152.png 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Time for something a bit different.
