Reviewers
There are many ways developers can respond to reviews within the Google Play store. An app that automatically replies to reviews can be one option. This eliminates the need to log into the App Store and manually respond to each review. Another option is to use a service such as Reply in Appbot, which has canned replies that can help streamline the response time. In addition, the app can integrate with Freshdesk and Zendesk, allowing a team to respond in-line.
An alternative option is to create an in-app review process. This flow can activate at any point along the user’s journey. The flow should prompt users to rate the app, leave comments and then submit the review for Google Play.
Ratings

Filters

To narrow down your search, you can use more advanced filters. You can also choose to only view one-star reviews. These reviews are useful to see whether others are having problems with an app.
These filters are helpful for finding new apps, or apps of higher quality. The new filters will help you narrow your search and save you valuable time. These filters can be combined or used together.

Localization

Numerous services allow developers to localize their text. App Radar, for example, allows developers to modify text in multiple locales at once. It allows bulk editing of each store listing field so that you can respond to reviews within a single session. Bulk editor allows you to filter reviews by country before translating them.
