Zoho Apptics - Play Store Ratings and Reviews

Play Store Reviews

Overview

Store reviews enable you to view, analyze, and reply to reviews your app receives from the marketplace, i.e., the App Store and the Play Store in a single place. All the reviews and ratings are fetched from both the stores and made available within the Apptics console.

To start analyzing the store reviews and rating within the Apptics console, you need to first link the App Store Connect account (for iOS) and  Google Play account (for Android) with Apptics. Once you authenticate the connection, you can fetch the complete review history along with the app version data and ratings history with ratings breakdown. 
InfoThis article covers steps for Play Store reviews. Refer to the this article for App Store reviews.
