What Astra does in Reviews

Astra scans your reviews and pulls out the patterns that matter, fast. For example:

  • The biggest negatives driving low ratings

  • The strongest positives worth reinforcing

  • Bugs and breakpoints users keep mentioning

  • Feature requests with real customer phrasing

  • Pricing, trial, and refund confusion signals

  • A list of recommended actions your team can actually execute

Astra is built for decision-making. It helps you prioritize what to fix, message, or ship next.


When to use Astra

Use Astra when you need to:

  • Run a weekly review pulse without reading hundreds of reviews

  • Catch new issues after a release

  • Understand what is driving rating changes

  • Turn review themes into tickets, fixes, and copy changes

  • Align Support, Product, and Marketing on one source of truth


How to run Astra on your reviews

  1. Go to Analyze → Listen → Reviews

  2. Click Start AI analysis

  3. Review the AI highlights summary at the top

  4. Use the themes to decide what to escalate, fix, or respond to

💡 Tip
Run Astra on a consistent cadence (weekly) and again after every major release.


The insights you can get from Astra

Spot bugs that are quietly tanking ratings

Astra highlights bugs users describe in plain language, so you can:

  • Identify the most common breakpoints

  • See where issues cluster by app version, platform, or country (when available)

  • Detect whether the problem is worsening or improving vs the last period

What to do next:

  • Convert the bug theme into a single ticket with examples and scope

  • Prioritize anything tied to crashes, logins, payments, or data loss


Know what users dislike most, and how widespread it is

Astra surfaces the top negative themes and helps you separate:

  • A loud minority issue vs a real volume driver

  • A one-off complaint vs a trend

What to do next:

  • Build a short list of “Top 3 negatives” and assign owners

  • Use those themes to update macros, help content, or in-product guidance


Double down on what users already love

Astra also pulls out positive patterns so you can:

  • Reinforce what is working in product and messaging

  • Identify strengths to feature in store listing copy, ads, or onboarding

What to do next:

  • Turn top positives into repeatable proof points for Marketing

  • Use them as the backbone for “here’s what’s new” release notes


Turn feature requests into roadmap inputs

Instead of vague “please add X” noise, Astra helps you:

  • Group feature requests into clear buckets

  • Capture sample phrasing that explains the “why” behind the ask

What to do next:

  • Add the top request themes to roadmap review with real customer language

  • Tag requests that map to churn risk or competitive parity


Catch monetization and pricing friction early

Reviews often reveal conversion blockers before dashboards do. Astra can help flag:

  • Trial confusion and “I got charged” style complaints

  • Refund expectations and subscription clarity gaps

  • Geography-specific pricing pushback (when mentioned)

What to do next:

  • Audit paywall and trial messaging for clarity

  • Update store copy and FAQs to reduce preventable 1-star ratings

🚨 Alert
Pricing confusion is usually a messaging problem before it is a pricing problem. Treat it like a conversion bug.


Make review response strategy smarter

Astra helps you respond with context, not guesswork:

  • Identify which complaints deserve a public reply

  • Separate “fix coming” issues from “how-to” confusion

  • Keep tone aligned to what reviewers actually care about

What to do next:

  • Reply fastest where issues are high-impact and high-volume

  • Build a short response library aligned to top themes


How teams use Astra operationally

Product

  • Prioritize fixes by frequency and impact, not loudness

  • Validate whether a release created a new wave of complaints

Support and Community

  • Improve reply speed by focusing on the top repeated issues

  • Reduce escalations by updating guidance around the biggest confusion points

Marketing

  • Pull top positives into store listing copy and campaign messaging

  • Spot “promise gaps” where users expected something different than delivered
