had my first 1 star review due to someone not being able to launch my app, sadly he didnt post in my forum though, i dont really care about that star, but i would like to solve his problem as i have done so with the majority of issues. Is there no way to contact our customers?

Yes there is, look in the project's Interact tab (that you can see while editing it or looking at the analytics). There should be an option to e-mail all buyers.

Thanks for replying 

I see 'All buyers' under recipients, do i just put that one username in there?

i just want to contact that one person, not everyone :)

I don't really know how it works, sorry. Never used it.

If you look in your payments tab, you should be able to find the buyer's email address in there (clicking a result shows the associated Itch username). Keep in mind that you're not supposed to use this information for marketing or anything, however it does say that

The email address that itch.io provides, along with the email tool, are made available if you need to contact buyers with news related specifically to their transaction.

so I think in this case it would be ok? Someone from Itch would need to chime in on that but from an ethical standpoint it seems ok to me.

I only have his itch username on the review. So I guess I will just have to let this one go. 

Thanks for trying to help though. 

You can reply to reviews on steam, if a buyer is unhappy. 

I guess I will make a suggestion that this would be a useful feature for itch. 

I don't understand. If you have their username, I'm saying you can look up their email address in the payments page. So then you would just send them an email.

I don't see a username in the details of payments. Might be because I'm on mobile though, will check on the desktop later. Have also sold over 5k, gonna be like finding a needle in a haystack. 


A simple reply to a user review, would be a godsend, just saying. 

You have to hover over the payment and click details, then the username is shown beside the email. The date on the review should help you find the right payment. I agree that responses to reviews would be nice, as would direct messages.

Congrats on selling so many by the way.

We plan to upgrade our reviews system pretty soon to allow developers to comment on them. Thanks for your patience.
