App Store Reviews for Zoho Desk Extension

Building a successful app requires you to continually gather customer feedback. Only your customers can truly tell you what they need from your app. However, gathering input is not enough on its own. Whether the feedback is positive or critical, replying to customer reviews is a crucial step to improving customer satisfaction. It is also a great way to foster a strong relationship between you and your mobile customers. This extension helps you manage your app feedback better. It helps you create tickets out of App Store reviews—making it easy to track them from inside Zoho Desk.
