Bugs found in Reveri: Self-hypnosis for Android
The Reveri: Self-hypnosis app offers a comprehensive range of focused self-hypnosis sessions designed to address various challenges such as insomnia, stress, focus, pain perception, eating habits, and quitting smoking.
With a Reveri membership, users gain full access to the complete Reveri experience, which includes self-hypnosis sessions for quitting smoking, developing healthier habits, managing pain, reducing stress, improving sleep quality, and boosting focus.

My recommendation would be to implement a comprehensive test strategy, leverage automation tools for efficiency, use a robust defect tracking system, encourage collaboration and communication, and continuously improve testing processes through retrospectives and analysis of metrics. These approaches will contribute to the overall quality assurance and control efforts.
