Goodpatch officially launches Balto, redefining the way feedback is done for beta apps Goodpatch announced the official release of its new in-house product, Balto (https://www.balto.io/). Balto redefines the conventional way of collecting and sending feedback. Developers can distribute their beta apps, gather feedback, and discuss points of improvement - all in one place. By making it a one stop shop, it helps accelerate the feedback cycle, giving developers the chance to iterate faster, and leading to higher product quality. Keeping with the Goodpatch vision of “pushing the world forward with design & products that move people’s hearts,” Balto’s simple UI and design focuses on bringing out the playful and fun side of the whole feedback process.
