Rating and reviews management

Users can leave reviews and rate your app in Overwolf’s AppStore. You can browse these ratings and reviews and reply to users from the dev console.

Why is this important

Replying to reviews engages your users and makes them feel valued, further building loyalty. When you respond to negative reviews, it indicates how and when you'll address the feedback, where possible. Users will be more likely to leave a good rating and share your app following a positive interaction.

Best practices

• Keep it concise and clear when addressing feedback from your users.
• Strive for a friendly tone that’s consistent with the voice of your brand.
• Remain positive and respectful, even if it seems the user is attacking. You can try something like, "Thanks, your feedback helps us improve our app." Clearly acknowledge the reviewer's feedback, and let them know you’re working on taking care of the the issue. Something in the lines of, "This is a known issue, and we're doing our best on working to fix it."
• Use proper grammar and spelling. We recommend using Grammarly.

Pro Tips

• Personalizing your responses rather than using generic responses for similar reviews (e.g. "Hey Alex, thanks for your feedback.").
• When you release an app update that fixes issues mentioned in older reviews, consider replying to relevant reviews to tell these users about the fix.

Manage your users' reviews

From the dev console, you can find the "User feedback" item on the left navigation bar.

On the right side you can find the number of reviews, your average rating, and all the reviews in a list.

Reply to reviews

Once the user adds a review on your app, it will appear in both places.

On the app's page on the Overwolf AppStore:

And on the "Rating and Reviews" page in the dev console, where you can reply to each review:

A few important notes

• Only one reply per review. This means that after adding your response, you can only remove or edit it - but not add another reply.
• Users can't respond to your reply, nor can they create a thread/discussion, etc. They can, h ever, edit their own review.
• Users does not receive any notification that you replied to their review.

In future versions, we will add more features, such as notifying users when someone replies to their review.

Support info

When a user posts a review on your app, Overwolf automatically pulls some basic info from their Overwolf client:
