Apptentive is being used by our B2C side to help consolidate interactions on our mobile app. It helps to solve the issue of providing not only insights and metrics into usage and ratings/reviews but also helps to promote the app or other updates with the ability to place messaging into either iOS or Android apps so we can customize as best as possible our users' experience and their interaction with rating our app at the most opportune times.
  • Provides notes and interactions within your app so you can connect with users better.
  • Also allows for more support-driven interactions and engaging feedback from customers so it isn't all routed through app store reviews that are more difficult to manage and interact with users.
  • Apptentive measures satisfaction with its Love metric that helps us better understand usage instead of just store ratings and anecdotal feedback.
  • Apptentive's metrics aren't as customizable as we would like but what it does measure it does a good job at.
  • Managing multiple apps (iOS and Android) can make for extra work because you're duplicating work on Notes and Events.
  • Finding the right way to interact can take multiple tests, surfacing best practices across the industry would be a help.
Apptentive is well suited for getting more feedback from mobile app users. It has all the tools to ask the right questions at the right time. It's less appropriate for simply an app metrics solution. While it provides metrics other mobile platforms would be better at compiling the correct metrics needed for insights.
  • Apptentive has helped us increase our app store ratings which results in better listings in search results, etc.
  • Apptentive has helped give us better insights from our users.
  • Apptentive has helped us better manage emergencies that we can address without an App Store update now.
We haven't used or evaluated another tool similar to Apptentive. We selected it and it has worked for what we needed it for. I'm sure other solutions provide similar options. We keep Apptentive because it is already integrated with our apps and we've continued to be able to use it for what we need without worrying about how a new tool would connect to everything that goes into a mobile app.

We are using Apptentive to drive customer reviews and feedback for our mobile application. It is used primarily by the Marketing department and our development team. We use it to gather more 5-star app store reviews. It serves as an in-app messaging center for our users, it allows us to push surveys and notifications of new app features, and it also provides us valuable analytics on app usage and user sentiment.
  • Push notifications for app store reviews.
  • Targeted interactions based on in-app events.
  • Easy in-app messaging service for direct access to our support team.
  • Sometimes the notifications of new messages do not come through email as they should, so you can miss some.
  • I would like to see more interaction options.
  • More app analytics.
It works very well for consumer-centric applications. If you had an app with in-app purchases, or a retail store app, or even a simple gaming application, Apptentive would be more powerful. In our case, we have an app that serves as a productivity tool, so Apptentive gives us great insight and tools, but we do not take advantage of them as much as other apps might.
  • We have seen over 100 5 star reviews come in via the Apptentive interactions.
  • User adoption of our mobile app was swift and easy with the help of Apptentive.
  • It is hard to put an ROI on it when we aren't selling through the app, but it is a great tool.
We thought about Firebase, but we ultimately selected Apptentive because it is brand-agnostic. Using a Google app for an iOS application could have proved disastrous if the support for iOS had been lost down the line.
