Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of user reviews for the SimobiPlus mobile banking application in Indonesia. By leveraging state-of-the-art natural language processing techniques, including IndoBERT embeddings and machine learning classifiers (SVM, Naïve Bayes, KNN, Random Forest, Logistic Regression), we perform multi-dimensional sentiment analysis and topic modelling on a dataset of over 7,000 user reviews. Our approach classifies reviews based on sentiment (positive/negative), information type (bug report, feature request, user experience, ratings), objectives (app-related, company-related), and emotions (anger, joy, disgust, etc.). We also extract key topics and issues discussed in the reviews using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). The results demonstrate the effectiveness of SVM with hyperparameter tuning for sentiment classification (91% accuracy) and identify several recurring themes in user feedback, such as login/update errors, transaction failures, and requests for new features. Notably, we find that stemming has minimal impact on classification performance for this Indonesian language dataset. Our findings provide actionable insights for developers and managers to prioritize app improvements and enhance the overall user experience of mobile banking services. This study contributes to the growing body of research on data-driven user feedback analysis and offers practical recommendations for digital banking innovation in emerging markets.
