What's new in OneStar

Public forms now show up across OneStar the way public reports do, a new Feedback page shows how forms work, and AI assistants can draft and install a form for you.

• NewMakers' public forms now appear in the gallery and the Apps and games directory, and your app's report pages link to them. A public form alone gives your app a page on OneStar.
• NewThe Share tab shows where a public form appears and how often its page was seen this week, with a ready to post line and its share image.
• NewA Feedback page at onestar.sh/feedback explains forms, with a live example you can answer.
• NewConnected AI assistants can build feedback forms: draft one, set its sites and test mode, get the install code for your framework and check that test answers arrive. Publishing a form or replying to someone shows you a preview first and waits for your approval.
• ImprovedThe forms list walks you to your first answer, and OneStar tells you when a form gets it. Replies is now called Inbox, and the phone bar shows Feedback on plans with forms.

• ImprovedA form that stopped taking answers says why, settings that apply at once say so, and archived forms can be restored.
• ImprovedQuestion ids show in the builder with a copy button, for sending answers from your own interface, and forms shown inside an app can pass its version, platform and signed in user.
• FixedThe answers behind a number on Results always match that number, and the React instructions use the form element directly, with nothing extra to install.

Read what your users wrote in your forms the way you read your store reviews, and send answers where your team already works.

• NewResults counted by code: every share with its range, NPS with its range, a weekly trend, who answered and where the form ran. Every number opens the answers behind it.
