Negative reviews are better than no reviews, they both underline a missed mark rather than a failed attempt and highlight a potential loyal customer. Most people don't even bother to leave a review, if somebody feels emotional about your product and takes time out of their live to write about it, they are probably an ideal client and their user-persona need to be better accounted for in the future.

Learn from them. We complain most of the times because of things that irritate us. You have to cut through the noise and figure out what it is and fix those issues. Every great company has done that to date.
I think negative reviewers are the people who can truly give you a proper feedback. There’s a term in marketing called “Critical Lovers”. These are the people who can really help shape up your product to its maximum potential. As far as the conversion is concerned, it’s all the matter of personalised support and problem solving.

2. Investigate and resolve: Don't dismiss the criticism. Look into the issue raised in the review and try to understand the root cause of the customer's dissatisfaction. Take steps to resolve the problem and prevent it from happening again.
@amelia_charlie totally agree, and I would also let the customer know that the issue had been fixed thanks to them bringing it up. Make them feel like a part of the solution

Offer compensation: Depending on the situation, offering a discount, refund, or other form of compensation can help to soften the blow and show the customer that you are serious about making things right.

Every negative review represents the user's experience with the application. The main question here is how to accept this feedback and process it. If you can process it correctly, then you can correct the error. It is very useful.

I generally make sure to answer the negative comments promptly and empathetically. I also try to understand customer's concerns, publicly respond, apologize for any inconvenience, and offer a solution or steps for resolution. I also encourage further communication offline to resolve issues privately.

Go beyond fixing the issue: Show the customer you care by going the extra mile. Could you offer a discount, complementary service, or a personalized apology? Taking these steps can turn a potentially disgruntled customer into a loyal advocate.

If we receive negative but objective feedback, that's great because it means we understand how we can grow by improving our service. If the feedback is unreasonable, we try to respond by explaining our vision and approach.

I ask for more details about the issue to gain a better understanding and show genuine interest in resolving the problem.

Use the feedback to improve: Negative reviews can be a valuable source of information. Analyze the feedback to identify areas where you can improve your product, service, or customer experience. Implement changes based on the insights you gain.

To turn negative reviews into opportunities, listen actively to understand the concern, respond promptly with empathy and a solution, and use the feedback to improve your product/service, showcasing your commitment to customer satisfaction. This approach can help you turn dissatisfied customers into loyal advocates and enhance your overall business reputation.

Understand the most common negative reviews and adjust your product accordingly. Then design a blog post around this new feature that solves this common problem. looking at competitors negative reviews is also a great strategy to differentiate your product. You can create a blog post on how you solve x problem and distribute that content into platforms where your buyer personas hang out. sort of like this.. https://www.growtharchive.xyz/st...

You have got to take these reviews in stride. Read through the negative reviews to sift out legitimate ones. Then create an action item to remediate the issue. Every review is a learning experience.
@ryan_kara totally agree that every review is a learning experience. It’s up to you though if you take action from that action
