This is absolutely critical to your success on an ongoing basis as an app developer. With over a million apps available in the iOS, Android and Mac marketplaces, the best chance you have of being successful, over the long haul, is to have a loyal audience. Every download represents an opportunity to win a fan and an evangelist.
We've been helping developers solve this feedback problem for the past year on all three platforms and the data is very compelling: your ratings and reviews improve, the number of people recommending you to their friends increases and your business grows. The math is stunning and we'd encourage everyone to invest time in communicating with their customers if they really believe in the app they're building.
Regardless of if you build it yourself or use our simple to integrate SDKs (http://apptentive.com) - take the time to listen to your customers. It'll go a very long way.

Apptentive makes tools to help companies have meaningful conversations with their customers.
We're a startup with a startup vibe, culture is really important to us. Last quarter our engineering team released several cool major features and large structural improvements, all while everyone managed to take a vacation and the company had several off-site team days.
Our stack is mostly Ruby and Scala. Experience in Big Data and Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Service-Oriented Architectures, NoSQL (Cassandra, MongoDB), ElasticSearch, Kafka, or Distributed Computing would also make a good candidate.
