Console, feed or monitor ## App Store Connect, Apple's review feed, or monitoring Apple gives you two ways to read reviews. App Store Connect covers only your own apps, and the public feed stops at 500 per country. Here is what each leaves to you. Question App Store Connect Apple’s public feed Rumoro Which apps App Store Connect Only the apps your team publishes Apple’s public feed Any app, one country per request Rumoro Any app, yours or a competitor's, in up to 20 countries Getting access App Store Connect An App Store Connect role, or an API key for its API Apple’s public feed No key, but a feed to page through for every country Rumoro An App Store link How far back App Store Connect Your app's history in the console Apple’s public feed The newest 500 reviews per country, and nothing older Rumoro The past month's 100 newest free, then every new review, kept for good Developer replies App Store Connect Read and written in App Store Connect Apple’s public feed Not part of the feed Rumoro Shown next to each review Unhappy reviews App Store Connect Sort and filter in the console Apple’s public feed Every review in one list, to filter yourself Rumoro Alert rules on 1 and 2 stars, tagged as bugs, questions or complaints Alerts App Store Connect Only for apps your team publishes Apple’s public feed You build the polling, the storage, the duplicate checks and the alerts Rumoro Slack, Telegram, email digests and signed webhooks Agents App Store Connect Copy and paste Apple’s public feed Your own MCP server on top Rumoro Every review and the Reviews report over MCP, with all your other sources What you get ## What Rumoro keeps from each App Store review Everything you need to tell a crash from a feature request before you open the store, and where Apple's feed sets the limits. - **The review**: The stars, the title, the text, when it was written, its link and the app version the reviewer was using. - **The reviewer**: Their App Store nickname and a link to their profile, with every other review they wrote about the apps you follow. - **The country**: The storefront the review came from. A review that appears in two storefronts counts once. - **Limits**: Apple lists a review a few hours after it's written, its feed holds the newest 500 per country, and a country where the app isn't sold stays empty. Your Android app’s reviews come in through [Google Play review monitoring](https://rumoro.dev/google-play), and the same alerts cover [Trustpilot reviews](https://rumoro.dev/trustpilot) and [Google reviews](https://rumoro.dev/google-reviews) of the business behind the app. Beyond alerts ## App Store review tracking beyond the alert Tie complaints to releases, compare countries and keep track of the competition's ratings. ### Reviews by app version Every review records the version it was written on, so a release that broke something shows up as a spike in one-star reviews for that version. ### Each storefront on its own Read the US, Germany and Japan separately, with every review labelled by country, and see where a release landed badly. ### The developer's reply next to the review Each review shows whether your team has answered, so the unhappy ones still waiting stand out. ### Alerts by star rating Send 1 and 2 star reviews to the mobile team's channel at once and leave the rest for a digest. ### The Reviews report Average rating by day or week, the star split, open unhappy reviews and their topics, against the period before. ### Competitors side by side Give a competitor's app its own keyword and compare its rating and complaints with yours, country by country. ### Sentiment from the stars No guesswork on mood. One and two stars count as negative, three as neutral, four and five as positive. ### Views, filters and export Save views for your team and export reviews to CSV with rating and app id columns.

Add the app's App Store link to a keyword, pick its countries and create an alert rule. Each country is read once a day, and the rule sends the new reviews to Slack, Telegram, email or a webhook, all of them or only certain ratings. ### Can I follow a competitor's App Store reviews? Yes. Public reviews of any app work, so you can add a competitor's app to its own keyword and compare its reviews with yours country by country. ### Which App Store countries can I add? Any App Store storefront, up to 20 per app. Each one is read separately and every review records its country. A storefront where the app isn't sold simply stays empty. ### Do I need App Store Connect access? No. Rumoro reads the public reviews of any app, so you don't share an App Store Connect login, an API key or a team role. ### Is there an App Store reviews API? Apple's App Store Connect API lists the reviews of apps your team publishes, once you have an API key. Apple also publishes a public review feed per country, which holds the newest 500 reviews. Rumoro reads any app's public reviews for you and keeps every one it collects. ### Can I see which app version a review was written on? Yes. Every App Store review carries the version the reviewer was running, so you can tell whether a wave of complaints started with a particular release. ### Does Rumoro show the developer's reply? Yes. A review is shown with your team's reply next to it, so you can see at a glance which unhappy reviews nobody has answered yet. ### How quickly do new App Store reviews show up? Within a day. Each country is checked once a day, and Apple adds a review to its feed a few hours after it's written, so an evening review can arrive the next day. ### What if a review shows up in two countries? It counts once. Rumoro keeps one mention per review, whichever storefront it was found in first. ### Can I get only the crash reports? Yes. Combine the bug report intent with 1 and 2 star ratings in an alert rule, and only those reviews reach the channel. ### Does Rumoro cover Google Play as well? Yes. Google Play works the same way, with one review language per keyword. App Store and Google Play reviews of the same app can share one keyword and one report. ### Can my AI agent read App Store reviews? Yes. Rumoro's MCP server gives Claude, Cursor or Codex every review with its stars, version and country, plus the Reviews report, so an agent can tell you which release is causing trouble. ### What does App Store review monitoring cost? Every country you add brings its 100 most recent reviews from the last 30 days free. After that you pay $0.008 per new review and $5 a month for the keyword, charged by the day, with no subscription.
