Reviews & Feedback Android

Manually show App Rating alertview

Use the showAlertToRateApp to display an alertview, which prompts the user to rate your app, or send feedback.

To receive the response of the user on the Alert, please provide a pointer to a callback function which returns a void and takes an int.

The Send Feedback button takes the user to Conversation screen.

In this way, you can reduce possible negative reviews into genuine problems to be solved.

If you want to change the strings used in this alert view, head over to String Customization.

Example usage:

API Call

HelpshiftCocos2dx::showAlertToRateApp("market://details?id=com.RunnerGames.game.YooNinja_Lite",
                                      alertToRateAppCallback);

Callback handler

void alertToRateAppCallback (int result) {
  if (result == HS_ALERT_CLOSE) {
    CCLog("User closed Alert");
  }
}

Configuring automatic review requests

Automatic review requests can be triggered on two kinds of events:

• after a specific number of app launches
• after a specific number of days since the first app launch

To enable automatic review requests, navigate to SDK Configurations for your app in agent dashboard and select a value from Ask for review after every dropdown.

Automatic review requests, if enabled via admin, will be shown once per app version.

Review reminder in SDK

Helpshift SDK adds a way for customers to send feedback in review reminders.

The review reminder is shown if there is no on-going conversation with the user. It takes the user to New Conversation screen.

In this way, you can reduce possible negative reviews into genuine problems to be solved.

Customer satisfaction survey

Customer satisfaction survey prompts your app users to rate their customer support experience with your agents. Enabling it, sends out a 5-star customer service rating request to your customers when an issue is resolved.

To enable it, go to Settings in your agent dashboard, and then under app settings, select your app. You can enable Customer satisfaction survey from under SDK Configurations.

When an issue is resolved, and your customer accepts the resolution, then a Customer Satisfaction screen is shown.

Your customer can also (optionally) give feedback to help you improve the quality of your service.
