How we built a tool that simplified responding to reviews

Sep 23, 2025

When you’re a small team building multiple apps, every saved minute counts. At TappyTaps, we’ve always cared deeply about supporting our users quickly and effectively, but replying to countless app store reviews started to consume too much of our time. That’s why we built Replynx – our own tool to make the process faster, simpler, and smarter.

The story behind Replynx

At TappyTaps, we develop apps that help people in their everyday lives – from monitoring dogs with Barkio, to baby care with Bibino, home security with Camerito, and many more. What connects all of our apps is a strong focus on reliability and quick responses to user feedback.

App store reviews became the primary place where users shared their feedback. Responding quickly wasn’t only about solving problems, but also about building trust and relationships. We needed a solution that would:

  • be fast and flexible, because time is key when replying,
  • stay simple enough for the whole team to use,
  • allow customization for the different apps we manage,
  • support multiple languages so we can reply globally,
  • and most importantly, enable us to respond immediately when it matters most.

That’s why we decided to build our own solution – Replynx.

Fun fact: The name Replynx is a wordplay. It combines Reply (the core function – responding to reviews) with Lynx (an animal known for its speed and agility). These are the exact traits we wanted our tool to reflect: quick reactions, sharp focus, and the agility to save time for small teams.


Replying to reviews isn’t just polite — it’s powerful. Learn why it matters and how to do it best in How to reply to app reviews.

How we use Replynx

Today, Replynx has become an essential part of our workflow. With it, we can:

  • track all reviews in one place,
  • automate frequent responses so we can focus more on personalized replies,
  • react in real time and show users that their feedback truly matters.

Because we are a small team, every minute saved is extremely valuable. Replynx helps us work more efficiently while strengthening our relationship with users across all of our apps.

To illustrate this in practice, we’ve also written about it in more detail in article How Replynx works.

Why we decided to share Replynx

We originally built Replynx just for ourselves. But when we saw how much it helped us – saving us time while improving user satisfaction – we realized it would be a shame to keep it only for our team.

That’s why we decided to make Replynx available to other companies as well. If you’re also facing challenges like:

  • needing faster and more effective review responses,
  • looking for a tool that adapts to you (and not the other way around),
  • searching for a reliable solution built out of real-world needs,

then Replynx might be exactly what you’re looking for.
