<![CDATA[Abstract: The quality of Smart City services needs continuous evaluation to ensure that digital public services meet citizens' expectations. This study evaluates the quality of Smart City services through sentiment analysis of user reviews on the Sibisa application of Medan City using a Natural Language Processing (NLP) approach. The research employed a quantitative descriptive method by collecting user review data from the Google Play Store. The data were processed through preprocessing stages, including case folding, tokenization, stopword removal, and stemming, followed by sentiment classification into positive, negative, and neutral categories. The analysis results indicate that user opinions provide valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the Sibisa application. Positive sentiments reflect user satisfaction with service accessibility and convenience, while negative sentiments mainly relate to application performance, system stability, and response speed. The findings demonstrate that NLP-based sentiment analysis is effective in supporting the evaluation of Smart City service quality and can serve as a reference for the Medan City Government in improving digital public services.
