November 2010 – Google launches Google Maps for Android users – “Now you can write and publish ratings and reviews from your mobile phone.” Google also advises that if you’re an iOS user not to worry as they will soon be launching a Places app but in the meantime, you can still use your browser to rate places.July 2008 – Reviews from Mobile Phones now possible via mobile browser.The routes permitting a mobile user to leave a review over the past six years have been a little confusing. Google has had a rocky history when it comes to mobile reviews. A Brief History of Google Reviews on Mobile Well, did you know you can still leave a review in a mobile browser? For years we thought it wasn’t possible, but when researching for this post we found a way that works, and we have added the instructions to our Review Handout Generator to make it super easy to request reviews from mobile users. Today it requires the reviewer to download and use the Google Maps app, if it’s not already on their phone. The trouble is, people are not usually in front of their computers right after they interact with a small business and leaving a Google review on mobile has been a bit cumbersome in recent years.

Getting positive reviews has never been easier and I would highly recommend trying it out.When is the best time to ask for a review? A few days after an interaction with a customer, within a week or perhaps immediately after the business transaction is completed? We say it’s the latter right after doing business with a client. "Odd Dog has a ton of resources to help my team produce more customer feedback and we take full advantage of this. My entire team and I use this app on a daily basis and we see anywhere from 10-15 new reviews come in every week." Once we started using the Odd Dog Review App, this all changed. All of our customers happily said they would in person but very few would actually follow through.

"We previously would ask every one of our customers to leave a review. Online reviews play a huge part in our business and we couldn't be happier with the app." We stumbled across the Odd Dog Review App and haven't looked back since.

98% of our customers love our service but we had nothing to show for it so we went looking for a cost-effective solution. "We were previously struggling with some pretty negative reviews from a handful of disgruntled customers and we needed to change that. An affordable solution to getting more reviews online that I can have my entire team use."
