Customer Feedback

Learn how to collect customer feedback on your app using Canny. Setup a feedback board and let your users vote on features they want to see in your app, report bugs, and provide general feedback.

For this feature we use Canny, a tool that allows you to collect and manage feedback from your users. They have a free plan that should be enough for most projects.
