This is absolutely critical to your success on an ongoing basis as an app developer. With over a million apps available in the iOS, Android and Mac marketplaces, the best chance you have of being successful, over the long haul, is to have a loyal audience. Every download represents an opportunity to win a fan and an evangelist. We've been helping developers solve this feedback problem for the past year on all three platforms and the data is very compelling: your ratings and reviews improve, the number of people recommending you to their friends increases and your business grows. The math is stunning and we'd encourage everyone to invest time in communicating with their customers if they really believe in the app they're building. Regardless of if you build it yourself or use our simple to integrate SDKs (http://apptentive.com) - take the time to listen to your customers. It'll go a very long way.

Interesting. How do you hold your phone with one hand, in such a way that it is secure, and you aren't accidentally hitting the buttons, or having the meat of your hand make contact with the screen? My pinky is normally a hard stop for the bottom of the phone,so that I don't have to apply much pressure with my other fingers or the meat of my hand. My thumb therefore can reach the bottom half of the phone easily, but needs to be readjusted to reach the top. This image leads me to believe that I'm not the only one with this problem: https://www.apptentive.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Screen-Shot-2016…

"but the lack of apps ultimately made us move to another ecosystem" Nuts. People don't even use apps [i]. They may have facebook or netflix installed - but then it gets real thin. https://www.apptentive.com/blog/2017/06/22/how-many-mobile-apps-are-ac…
