2. Comparing with others: The following step is to compare the app with the ones of your competitors and understand which are the positive and negative sides of your app. Look for the areas where competitors have huge advantages and understand how you can implement these advantages in your app as well.
3. Overall individual feedback: In the final step, experts need to give their individual feedback on the areas, such as the overall design of the app, overall ux of the app, reviews in app stores, comments and feedback and so on.
Conducting a team review

Conducting a team review is great thing, because at the end, you will have all the problems and suggested solutions in one place.
