Use the placeholder {appName} to automatically include your app's name in the prompt.

5. Member Interaction Rules

  • Each member will receive only one prompt per session after they have clicked or tapped at least three times.

  • The prompt consists of a two-step satisfaction flow:

    • Positive Path: If members respond positively, they will be directed to leave a review on Google.

    • Negative Path: If they indicate dissatisfaction, they can provide private feedback while still seeing the Google review link.

7. Exclusions

Members who have scheduled subscription cancellations will not receive the review prompt. This ensures that feedback comes from engaged members who are actively using your app.
