Summary

Becoming a successful app in either app store is a huge challenge, with users now able to choose between millions of apps. To solve this, app store optimization (ASO) aims to get noticed and attract new users. Apps with higher star ratings tend to rank higher, but negative reviews can be detrimental if not addressed. However, recent changes to rating calculations give more weight to newest reviews, allowing apps to improve their overall star rating by making quality improvements and collecting user feedback. Testing is crucial to minimize bugs and ensure a smooth user experience, while engaging with users through feedback channels can prevent bad reviews and improve ratings. Instabug offers a comprehensive solution for collecting real-time insights about an app's performance and providing actionable recommendations to enhance the app's quality and drive five-star reviews.
