Hope you are aware of how app store and play store reviews can help you in category ranking and keyword ranking . We have experimented a lot with our own apps as well as client apps . The final results are
- Ranking is directly proportional to review count
- Ranking is directly proportional to rating score
- Ranking is directly proportional to quality of reviews
So how we can get as many reviews for our apps ? It is simple . Use peer to peer review exchange platforms . There are many services available . Here we are going to review 3 such services we have used.
Smoothreviews.com vs Reviewsmotion.com vs Appreviewdesk.com
We have used all three platforms for 1 month each and here is the analysis
- Review speed is too slow . Even though we have enough points , we need to wait several weeks ( may be months ) to get the reviews back
- Platform is user friendly . But little bit slow in mobile
- Paid plan is $19.99 , which is affordable . But review speed is too slow in paid plan too
- Quality maintained . Getting moderate quality reviews
- Referral slot – They claims it . But we didn’t get extra slot for referral .
- Review speed is better than smoothreviews . Still there are some delays
- Platform is user friendly . But little bit slow in mobile
- Users are very few . We cannot expect high volume reviews for the same app
- Referral slot – Unlimited Slots for each referral
- Paid plan is 9.95 € , which is affordable . But no use to become paid as the user base is low
- Quality is not up to mark . Getting low quality reviews occasionally
- Review speed is awesome . Really quick returns !
- Platform is fast and user friendly
- High user base . Can expect hundreds of reviews for same app.
- Referral slot – Unlimited Slots for each referral
- Paid plans start at $19 , which is affordable . Complimentary add on module (Twitter Blast) which is awesome .
- Quality is good . Almost 90% of reviews are of good quality
- Free App website creation tool . It is cool and useful .
Final Verdict
We have decided to go long term with AppReviewDesk.com as it is the most useful platform so far .
