How RateBlue Works
A quick walkthrough of how to create an event, share it with your audience, and start turning raw feedback into useful insights.
Collecting feedback sounds simple — ask people what they think. But in practice, it usually means juggling spreadsheets, unread emails, or a survey tool that makes you feel like you're doing homework. RateBlue is built around a different idea: feedback should take seconds to give and seconds to understand.
Here's how the whole thing works.
Create an Event
An event in RateBlue is anything you want feedback on — a YouTube video, a workshop, a product launch, a presentation. You give it a name, an optional description, and choose how you want it rated.
Simple mode gives respondents a single 1–5 star rating. Good for quick pulse checks.
Multi-dimension mode lets you define specific things to rate — for example: Clarity, Depth, and Presentation for a talk. Each dimension gets rated individually, and RateBlue automatically averages them into an overall score.
You also control whether feedback can be submitted anonymously. Anonymous mode gets you more honest answers. Requiring sign-in gives you accountability and repeat-respondent tracking.
Share a Link
Once your event is created, RateBlue gives you a short link. You paste it in a tweet, drop it at the end of a video, add it to a slide — whatever fits the moment. No app to install, no account required for respondents (unless you've disabled anonymous feedback).
The feedback page is designed to be frictionless:
- It loads fast
- It works on any device
- Rating takes three taps or clicks
Watch Feedback Come In
RateBlue shows you ratings and comments as they arrive. You can see the overall score, how individual dimensions are tracking, and read the raw feedback text. The history page keeps all your past events in one place.
A Word on Localization
RateBlue is available in English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Chinese. Respondents see the interface in their preferred language automatically, based on their browser settings. Your event description and name display as you wrote them — localization applies to the app chrome, not your content.
That's the core loop. Create → Share → Learn. If you have questions or run into anything unexpected, reach out via the feedback form on our home page. We read everything.
