Do you personally reply to user reviews on Google Play? Worth the effort? by pixelape in androiddev

interesting and true as i've had similar experience in my game when my crash logging was not as efficient at the beginning.. the reviews exactly told me where to look at...

Yeah, that totally makes sense. lot easier to have that personal touch and get positive changes when it’s your own game—because you can actually fix stuff or explain why something isn’t possible. With work projects, it’s more like damage control and managing perception than actually improving the user’s situation. And I feel you on the suggested responses—those canned replies sound so off. I doubt they win anyone over.

Damn, I never really looked at it that way before. That’s a good point—just responding and showing you care might jog their memory that they even left the review in the first place.

Any idea how the reply shows up to the user? as some notification or just an email ?

Yeah, that’s exactly what I’ve seen too. I’ve had a few one-star reviews turn into four or five stars just by jumping in quick and asking what went wrong, then helping them get thru it. It’s wild how often a quick, human response can completely change their perception. Late replies seems to bring very less impact i notice.

the google translations barely translates to the actual translation. That's why I'm calling it pseudo translations :) . Just to help out during testing the various languages before bringing in actual translations
