Mobile App Ratings and Reviews: Where to Start and How to Win

Consumers are becoming more skeptical of digital marketing than ever before, and peer recommendations in the form of app store ratings and reviews stand alone as the single greatest driver of discovery and conversion. Thanks to regulations like GDPR and CCPA, consumer privacy has moved to the forefront of marketing and product development, and a trusted recommendation in the form of a rating or review carries more weight than ever.

What does this mean for app-focused product managers and marketers? Positive ratings and reviews are still the gateway to success in all other app-focused business goals.

You likely understand the importance of making a good first impression through your app’s positive ratings and reviews. What you may not realize is the powerful hold positive or negative app store ratings and reviews have on the rest of your broader KPIs—and that traditional prompting methods can only take you so far.

Traditional prompting methods can drive desired results for your app but, like most things, aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution to your specific business needs. In order to truly understand customers, you need qualitative data to make sense of quantitative data, which doesn’t happen without gauging sentiment directly through customer feedback.
