User feedback is a tremendously valuable tool, one that allows you to continuously improve your enterprise mobile strategy and digital architecture. But before we get into the top ways to engage mobile users and elicit feedback—discussing what tools should you use and what questions you should ask in order to best elicit user feedback, first, you need to consider:
With these answers in place, next ask yourself, how you should encourage your users to provide feedback. Several methods and tools exist for eliciting in-app feedback about a user’s mobile experience:
1) Helpshift – Supports the growing consumer base that prefers messaging as its primary mode of communication. Companies use their platform for boosting agent and customer loyalty by offering a) Omnichannel Messaging which provides a messaging-first support strategy via email, in-app, or web chat; b) AI-Powered Answer Bots which deliver relevant answers to customer inquiries and seamlessly transition to human agents when needed.
2) Instabug – Departs from emails and pop-ups and focuses on in-app surveys that include text field, multiple choice, or star-rating answers. Their targeted, and opt-in, survey tools, let you send surveys to specific user segments (e.g. those using a specific app version, new users, your most loyal users, etc.). This approach will catch negative comments before they reach the app stores by asking users to specify ways you can improve along with requesting they rate your app in the app stores.
3) UserVoice – Allows users to add their voice to feedback and create their own suggestions through a widget, or directly in a forum. This approach will cultivate a place where users may interact, submit feedback, peer-review ideas, and engage in ongoing dialogue. And with a forum in place, you now have a communication mechanism to champion new features, update users on the status of their requests and solicit beta feedback through targeted messages during testing.
These methods and tools are excellent ways to gain feedback for your mobile app. But this is only one piece of the puzzle. It’s most important to be proactive and engage users every step of the way: through sales, service and delivery. Some effective methods and tools for improving the quality of your feedback include:
Now that you’ve gathered all this feedback for your mobile app, all that’s left is to make sense of it. Organize the feedback into common problems, suggestions, or even crises that demand immediate attention. Be sure to place someone in charge of being the user/customer evangelist within the company whose job it is to make sure folks are being heard and taken care of.
Customer feedback shouldn’t be taken lightly. It is one of the key components to keep your business thriving and improve the adoption of your enterprise mobile strategy.
