Here is an example of Bar chart showing user experience, visual experience, and correct information feedback given by each user.

You can also make a report for each type of feedback. For example, here is the Histogram that displays the ratings users gave for user experience.

You can also use the very popular Pie chart to display people’s feedback on a particular question in percentages.
