What is Frictly?+
Frictly is an app review monitoring tool that automatically scans your App Store and Play Store reviews, detects issues and trends, and delivers actionable insights after every scan. Instead of reading hundreds of reviews manually, Frictly surfaces what actually matters.
Which app stores does Frictly support?+
Frictly supports both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. You can monitor iOS and Android apps from a single dashboard.
How often does Frictly scan my app reviews?+
Scans run weekly on a schedule you choose. You can also trigger a manual scan any time from your dashboard.
What is a health score?+
Your app's health score is a 0–100 rating calculated from your star rating, the volume of critical issues, and review sentiment trends. It gives you a single number to track over time instead of juggling multiple metrics.
How do alerts work?+
You set up alert rules — for example, 'notify me when my rating drops by 0.2 stars' or 'alert me when a new critical issue appears'. Frictly evaluates each rule after every scan and sends you a Slack message instantly if the condition is met.
What does Today's Focus mean?+
After each scan, Frictly generates a short brief that answers: what deserves your attention today? It highlights the most important signal from the scan — not a summary of everything, but a prioritized call to action with a recommended next step.
Can I get notified on Slack?+
Yes. Both alerts and scan reports can be delivered to any Slack channel via an incoming webhook URL. You set up the webhook once in your app settings, and Frictly handles the rest.
How is Frictly different from reading reviews manually?+
Reading reviews manually is time-consuming and easy to ignore. Frictly monitors continuously, groups related complaints into issues automatically, tracks trends over time, and pushes the important signals to you — so you can act fast instead of finding out about problems in your next sprint.
Does Frictly use AI?+
Frictly uses language models to cluster reviews into issues, detect sentiment shifts, and generate the Today's Focus brief. The goal is to surface signal, not replace your judgement.
How do I get started?+
Create a free account, paste your App Store or Play Store URL, and Frictly runs your first scan automatically. You'll have your first insights in minutes.
