AB - Bubbles in complex fluids are often desirable, and sometimes simplyinevitable, in the processing of formulated products. Bubbles can rise bybuoyancy, grow or dissolve by mass transfer, and readily respond to changes inpressure, thereby applying a deformation to the surrounding complex fluid. Thedeformation field around a stationary, spherical bubble undergoing a change inradius is simple and localised, thus making it suitable for rheologicalmeasurements. This article reviews emerging approaches to extract informationon the rheology of complex fluids by analysing bubble dynamics. The focus is onthree phenomena: changes in radius by mass transfer, harmonic oscillationsdriven by an acoustic wave, and bubble collapse. These phenomena cover a broadrange of deformation frequencies, from $10^{-4}$ to $10^6$ Hz, thus paving theway to broadband microrheology using bubbles as active probes. The outstandingchallenges that need to be overcome to achieve a robust technique are alsodiscussed
