Use the Forms Feature

The Forms feature enables users to send feedback, report issues, ask questions, or join your mailing list, as well as share locations and upload photos.

Why add this feature?

  • Engage with your users by requesting and receiving their feedback.
  • Use feedback to find out which aspects of your app work well and which parts could use some tweaking. 
  • Get valuable feedback on other elements of your business and use this information to help you meet your business goals.
