OnsiteSupport provides the option to collect feedback and reviews on mobile Apps your customers post in Google Play Store. You can also see the rating you've received and reply to the review directly from OnsiteSupport.
Besides Play Store, we also have integration with App Store.
Additionally to getting reviews and replying to them, you can collect extra information on the user device using field mapping that is described below.
Note: In order to use this feature, you need to have enabled Tickets + CSAT applications. CSAT application should have 5 star rating in settings of the app.
We have several limitations on what you can't do:
- We don't track reviews when they are updated, so you won't have any updates in the system on that.
- Once reply is posted, it will get as a reply to review in Google Play Store and further answers in OnsiteSupport within the same ticket will update the previous answer. If you update current answer, the answer in Google Play Store will also be updated;
- Rating within the ticket won't be updated if the user updates his review.
All the new reviews will come to the system as tickets on hourly basis. You can use Automation Tools in order to notify the required support agents who are in charge of replying to reviews.
