Getting e-mail notifications about user reviews in App Store

February 27, 2011 — Leave a comment

The most inconvenient thing in App Store for me as a developer is inability to get notifications about user reviews by email. Moreover in iTunes Connect there is no way to get user reviews from all markets on one page: developer has to select all markets one by one in order to get latest comments. And to make things even worse: some users leave bug reports or feature requests in reviews. It would be very unfortunate to lose this kind of feedback.

So I spent couple of hours and coded a small script that scraps all available markets in App Stores for new user reviews and sends notifications to your email. It’s supposed to be ran periodically (e.g. by cron). All the gory details are explained in this excelent blog post.

You can get the script from my random-stuff github repo, it’s called appstorereviews.rb.
