I'll be honest at this point in my life anthing that pops up it gets a 1 simply for annoying me.
I'm never randomly recommending anything unless asked and if I do when asked specifically about it the app owners sure as shit don't need to know about it
Would you like to rate our app?
❌Not now ❌Yes ✅Not ever
I think it's the fact that 3rd box rarely exists that has gotten me this way
The fact that these popups exists in the first place makes me angry
It's annoying when I start some software to get something done and it's asking me to do a survey. I'm in the middle of something! What's wrong with you?!
The survey is administered by a cat.
Honestly all the app owners need to know is why a customer is dissatisfied. If the app is actually good the recommendations will come naturally.
I don't disagree but when I get asked to give it a rating 2 mins after installing they can fick right off.
Thanks to bots and shills ratings mean nothing.
In most cases I just stop using something as its not as useful as i thought or just boring bugging me in this manner just makes me actively hate it.
Well yeah that's why the only sensible place for such a survey is in the uninstaller (no popup browser tab please) with a big fat "Skip" option. Let's people with actual feedback give that feedback while people who don't want to can skip. Corpo can then evaluate if the product lands well by the rate of installed/uninstalled/left feedback.
But yeah modern day surveys are absolute garbage and annoying in like 99/100 cases
In the modern age it seems sensible has gone right out the window. It almost feels like it's your fault you hate their product rather than it being shit.
Information has lost all value and I just don't want to play anymore
