Google is adding the ability for Google Play developers to respond to app reviews from the Google Play Android Developer Console. The developers will be able to provide guidance and let users know when their feature requests have been implemented.

Google will also notify the user who wrote the review via email that the developer has responded. Users will then be able to contact the developer directly if additional followup is needed or update their review.

Google is releasing this feature today to those with a Top Developer badge and will probably offer it to additional Google Play developers in the future.
