Reporting a concern via Zendesk App

If you are an active user of ZendeskApp, then you can easily report a spam review from there. First of all you'd need to add your app following our guideline.

For IOS apps. First add the app into your Zendesk App. Once done, go to your AppFollow account, select Zendesk collection (it is created automatically) and add connection with your App Store account. Keep in mind the rights required to report reviews. Here you are - now you can report a bad review for your IOS app via Zendesk App ;)

For Android apps. First add the app into your Zendesk App. Then log in into your AppFollow account and go to Zendesk collection. Choose your Android app and go to the tab "Report a concern". Send an invite and enter your Account ID. FInish by clicking save button. Congratulations - you are now set to report reviews directly from Zendesk App.

App stores can block reports if you submit too many per day. Unfortunately, they don't disclose the report limits. We have now set a daily limit of 15 review reports per app at AppFollow. In case you exceed it, the reports will be saved in our system and automatically submitted the next day.
