User feedback and ratings are invaluable for app developers and organizations. With AppSheet, you can create a custom user rating system that allows users to provide feedback and rate their experience within your application. In this comprehensive blog post, we’ll explore how to implement a custom user rating system using actions, buttons, and views in AppSheet, enhancing user engagement and gathering valuable insights.
Building a Custom User Rating System in AppSheet
Creating a custom user rating system involves a combination of actions, buttons, and views. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to implement it in your AppSheet application:
Step 1: Define Your Rating Scale
- Determine the rating scale you want to implement. It could be a simple star rating system, a thumbs-up/thumbs-down system, or a numeric scale.
Step 2: Create a Data Table for Ratings
- In the AppSheet app editor, create a new data table to store user ratings. Define the necessary columns, such as user ID, rating value, timestamp, and any additional metadata you want to capture.
Step 3: Create a User-Friendly View
- Design a user-friendly view where users can submit their ratings. This view can include the rating scale elements, such as stars or buttons, and any instructions or prompts for users.
Step 4: Implement Actions
- Create actions that trigger when a user submits a rating. These actions will capture the user’s rating and store it in the ratings data table. You can also configure actions to update other relevant data based on the rating.
Step 5: Add a Button for Rating
- Include a button within your app’s user interface that users can click to access the rating view. This button can be placed strategically within your app, such as at the end of a transaction or after a significant interaction.
Step 6: Collect User Ratings
- When users click the rating button, they are directed to the rating view, where they can provide their feedback. After submitting their rating, users receive a confirmation message or are redirected to the main app interface.
Step 7: Analyze and Utilize Ratings Data
- Utilize the ratings data collected in your application to analyze user feedback and make data-driven decisions. You can create reports, charts, or dashboards to visualize the ratings and gather insights.
Practical Example
Suppose you have a restaurant review app, and you want users to rate their dining experience. You create a custom rating system with stars, allowing users to submit ratings from 1 to 5 stars. Users can access the rating view by clicking a “Rate Your Experience” button after they complete their meal. Ratings are stored in a “Restaurant Ratings” data table.

Thanks for this informative video.
Is it possible to have this feedback or the star feedback kind of in a way that when a user scans the QR code will lead to the download of Google Slides and give the feedback?
