Other people’s opinions play a considerable role in our purchasing decisions. And since we’re living in a world where people are spending a significant amount of time on the Internet, online reviews, be it of a restaurant or of a mobile app, are particularly important. According to a local consumer review survey carried out in 2018, 86% of consumers read reviews for local businesses, while 57% of them would only consider using a business if it has 4 or more stars of rating.

Collecting and making sense of mobile customer feedback isn’t a walk in the park for product managers and marketers. There’s a big analytics challenge in pulling in the right sources of information and prepare the right views for leaders and product owners to consume.

Many CEOs tell me that they (personally) are the best-informed people within their companies about what customers need , and they (personally) are best positioned to drive decisions on product priorities. I think this is fundamentally wrong for companies with more than a half-dozen customers or a dozen employees – and is a primary contributor to product strategy gridlock.
