Make sure your product is great
Make sure you put everything... moreMake sure your product is great
Make sure you put everything you have into your straight request products reviews. If you feel like your product isn’t good enough, then don’t release it. When you’re building something, you have to make sure it’s the best possible version of what it is you’re trying to do. Don’t waste time releasing something that’s not as good as it is in your head.
A lot of first-timers get a little cocky and release a crappy product that was heavily developed and optimized for the first version. They sometimes don’t make changes after that until it’s way too late and their product is in an awful place. Meanwhile, a well-developed product will appear much more polished with time. It will start from your MVP (minimal viable product), and expand as time goes on.
Now that you know what you shouldn’t do, the next thing to combat those hateful first reviews is to make sure the customer is happy. Sure, you should try to help them... less
