Reviews’ Intelligence work reduces negative comments left on Finance app from 18% to 13%Challenge
As you may imagine, personal finance apps need to build trust with their users. Having several positive ratings is one way of building this credibility.
However, in this particular case, the app had some technical issues, and the users often came back to the store to reduce the rating previously given (in about 20%). Thus, in the three months preceding RankMyAPP’s work, the negative comment’s rate was 18,2%.
There was no systematic follow-up of these comments, which could be used by the technical team to solve the problems. There was also a programmed reviews campaign to increase in the number of comments, which could possibly negatively impact the overall rating.
Solution
To increase the number of good reviews, we worked on Reviews’ Intelligence through RankMyAPP.
- Systematically response to the comments.
- Report on technical problems to the specialized team
- Post-correction monitoring and reporting to users about the solution
- Support in questions regarding the app’s usability
The users, noticing the support and the concern in solving their problems, often came back to the store to leave a higher rating. Besides, questions and doubts are a great source of negative comments and can be solved through Reviews’ Intelligence.
