The Rate App pop-up gives a rating to Sync App in the corresponding Google Play or Apple App Store. It helps potential users to learn about the experience of current users. It also helps to collect feedback about performance, areas for improvement and development. This rating and the feedback are available publicly.

The in-App feedback on the other hand, is feedback from current users about current functionality (e.g. things that are not working or features that they are loving) or missing features that they would love to have in the App. This feedback is private and is received directly by our Product Managers and Software Product owners.
