Introducing Feddy for iOS - One-Line Integration for Better Apps

Last week, I watched a colleague get devastated by a single App Store review. "App crashes when I try to save my work," the reviewer wrote. "Waste of time."

The cruel irony? My colleague had fixed that exact bug two weeks earlier, but the user never updated to the latest version. If there had been a way to collect feedback directly in the app, this whole situation could have been avoided.

This is why we built Feddy.

The Real Problem with App Store Reviews

Most iOS developers rely on App Store reviews as their primary feedback channel. But think about it – by the time someone writes a review, they're either extremely frustrated or extremely happy. The middle ground, where most user experiences actually live, is silent.

App Store reviews also come with a time lag. Users report issues weeks or months after encountering them. Sometimes they're using outdated versions. Often, they provide minimal context about what actually went wrong.

Meanwhile, you're left trying to debug issues based on fragments like "doesn't work on my iPhone" or "app is slow."

What Makes Feddy Different

Feddy lets you collect feedback at the moment users experience something worth sharing. Instead of waiting for problems to escalate into public complaints, you can catch them early and respond directly.

The integration couldn't be simpler:

import Feddy

Feddy.configure(projectKey: "your-project-key")

That's it. No complex UI components to customize, no view controllers to manage. Feddy provides a native iOS feedback experience that feels like part of your app.

When users tap the feedback option, they get a clean, familiar interface that follows Apple's design guidelines. They can attach screenshots, describe issues clearly, and even continue the conversation through your dashboard.

Built for iOS Developers

We designed Feddy specifically for iOS and macOS development. It works seamlessly with both SwiftUI and UIKit projects. The SDK is lightweight – it won't slow down your app's launch time or consume unnecessary memory.

The feedback forms automatically adapt to your app's appearance, whether it's light mode, dark mode, or custom themes. Users see consistent typography and spacing that matches their expectations.

From a development perspective, Feddy handles offline scenarios gracefully. If someone provides feedback without internet connectivity, it queues locally and syncs when connection returns.

Beyond Basic Feedback Collection

The real value comes from what happens after collecting feedback. Feddy automatically categorizes submissions into bugs, feature requests, and general comments. You can see patterns across different iOS versions, device types, and user segments.

The dashboard shows you trends over time. Are bug reports increasing after your latest update? Are feature requests clustering around specific workflows? These insights help prioritize your development roadmap based on actual user needs rather than assumptions.

Team collaboration is built-in. Multiple developers can access the same project, respond to users, and track resolution status. When you fix a reported bug, you can notify the original reporter directly.

Privacy and Trust

iOS users expect privacy, and Feddy delivers. All data collection follows GDPR and CCPA guidelines. Users know exactly what information is shared and can opt out at any time. Feedback is encrypted in transit and at rest.

We don't track users across apps or build advertising profiles. The data belongs to you and your users, not to us.

Getting Started

The fastest way to try Feddy is with a free account. You get one iOS project with up to 200 feedback submissions per month – perfect for testing the integration and seeing how it works with real users.

Create your account at feddy.app, add your project, and copy the project key into your app. The entire setup takes less than five minutes.

Once you're collecting feedback, you can customize when and how prompts appear. Some developers trigger feedback after successful actions (like completing a tutorial). Others add feedback buttons to settings screens or help sections.

The key is making feedback collection feel natural, not intrusive. Users should want to share their thoughts, not feel pressured into it.

What's Next

Feddy already supports iOS and macOS, with Android and web platforms coming soon. The long-term goal is unified feedback collection across your entire product ecosystem.

We're also building integrations with popular development tools – Slack notifications for new feedback, Jira ticket creation for bugs, and API access for custom workflows.

If you're tired of reactive development based on App Store reviews, give Feddy a try. Your users will appreciate having a direct line to your development team, and you'll catch issues before they become public relations problems.
