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.
