Apple - Get notified on new App Reviews?
Apple provides an RSS you can subscribe to. You can find it by doing the following:
- Go to iTunes Connect and log in
- Go to Manage your Apps and select the App you're interested in
- Under Links, in the App Information section, you'll find the Customer Reviews
- Opening it will display all of the customer reviews, filtered by country.
- Alongside the combo box to choose between the different countries you've already got reviews in, you'll find the RSS button.
Note: The countries combo box and the RSS button will only be displayed if there are reviews already.
The RSS URL looks like this:
feed:https://itunes.apple.com/COUNTRY-OF-THE-REVIEW/rss/customerreviews/id=APP-ID/sortBy=mostRecent/xml?l=LANGUAGE-YOU-WANT-IT-TO-BE-DISPLAYED-IN
I'm an iOS developer as well and I faced the same problem of wanting to be notified anytime a customer left a review for my apps on the App Store.
If your team uses Slack, check out https://appreviewbot.com/
Similarly if your team uses Microsoft Teams, check out https://appreviewbot.com/microsoft-teams/
Full disclosure: I created AppReviewBot and thought it might be useful for other indie developers like myself!
If you prefer an email to RSS you can check out Appbot.co. I am in no way affiliated with them but have found it useful.
I get a daily email that has a summary and then each of the reviews grouped by store.
I also get a weekly email that shows all the apps I've signed up for in one email with a summary of how they are doing week over week in terms of number of reviews and stars per review.
