UserVoice allows voting on what issues impact people most and allows the company to provide feedback to those issues/ideas. This isn't to say that a company must do all upvoted ideas, Microsoft certainly don't, but it is a useful outlet for both parties.
Microsoft aren't the only major company using UserVoice: https://www.uservoice.com/customers/ https://www.uservoice.com/customers/ and there are competing services offering similar benefits. The concept is maybe more important than that specific product.
Apple seems to lack basic communications channels in both directions. This is a problem regardless of company policy.
- musicale 7y agoThere are multiple input channels (feedback.apple.com, support.apple.com, twitter, etc.) but few if any official replies from Apple. Also bug reports are private (due to personal and/or proprietary information as well as potential security issues) so it's hard to gauge whether other people have run into similar issues or if Apple has uncovered the same bug in their own testing. I'd like to see a vetted "parent bug" that would be publicly visible, but Apple would never do this because they don't want third parties to mine their bug reports (which could potentially be exploited maliciously against Apple or its users, or for financial gain.)
