“Before BrandBastion, we had to toggle between Gorgias and Sprout Social to make sure all comments, DMs, and reviews were being answered.”

FAQs

Which platforms do you support for review management?
We cover major review sources like App Store, Google Play, Trustpilot, Google Business, and Facebook Reviews, plus broader social engagement in the same workflow.

Do replies get sent automatically or approved by a human?
Both. Your team can log in to a ready-to-send queue for one-click or batch approval, and you can also automate sending where it makes sense.

How does BrandBastion keep AI replies accurate and on brand?
Replies are knowledge-grounded using approved sources like your help center, release notes, and known workarounds. They also follow your brand voice and escalation rules, which helps keep responses consistent even for bug reports or how-to questions.

What reporting do we get?
You can track rating changes over time and break down what is driving shifts by app, country, and version. You can also measure reply impact by tracking when customers update a review after you respond, and whether those updates correlate with rating increases, decreases, or no change.

Do you offer alerts for critical issues and reputation risk?
Yes. You can configure email alerts for crashes, login failures, billing, refunds, fraud, and privacy topics, plus reputation signals like one-star spikes or competitor mentions, with optional Slack or Microsoft Teams delivery. You can also trigger alerts when a review is updated, and the score increases, decreases, or stays the same, and set thresholds by volume, percentage growth, or real-time triggers.

How do the AI insights help us turn reviews into action?
Astra scans your reviews and summarizes the themes that matter, such as the biggest negatives driving low ratings, repeated bugs, feature requests in real customer language, and pricing or refund confusion signals. It also suggests recommended actions so Product, Support, and Marketing can align on what to fix, message, or escalate next.
