First things first, it’s worth clarifying what we mean by user feedback.
According to Hotjar:
“User feedback is information collected from users/customers about their reactions to a product, service, or website experience. Feedback and insight from customers and website visitors is used by UX designers, researchers, and marketers to improve the user experience.”

It’s a way of understanding how people perceive your online properties, and identifying pain points and opportunities.
The demo from Mopinion stated that websites & apps have around 8 seconds to make a good impression, so it’s more important than ever to understand if a user has a positive or negative experience on your site.
User feedback platforms typically present short surveys on websites, apps or emails, and then centralise the findings from them.
If you’re now ready to find the platform for you, then read on.
Here are our top user feedback platforms.
