The bad update

Ratings move slowly.
Reviews move first.

A store rating averages years of reviews, so a broken release barely dents it for weeks. The share of 1–2★ reviews jumps the next day. That is what we alert on.

Reviews a day, by rating5★4★3★2★1★
v4.2 released

Alert sent, the day after v4.21–2★ reviews went from 12% to 31% of all reviews. A rise of 15 points or more is critical.

Before you start

Review monitoring,
answered.

Which reviews count as complaints?

Reviews rated one or two stars, plus reviews that use complaint phrases. You can adjust the filter for each monitor.

Can I monitor Google Maps reviews too?

Yes, with a separate local-review setup for a business location. It is not part of the app-review monitor.

Can I monitor App Store and Google Play reviews together?

Yes. Add the App Store app ID and Android package name to one app-review monitor. Both supported stores can contribute to the same findings feed. The builder shows availability and the cost of checking your selected sources.

Will the first check alert me about every old review?

No. The first check establishes your baseline from the existing batch. Later checks surface previously unseen reviews, so you can focus on new feedback. The baseline check is charged at the normal check price.

Can I get alerts for low-star app reviews?

Yes. The complaints filter includes reviews rated one or two stars, as well as matching complaint phrases. New findings can go to configured Slack, Discord or webhook destinations; email requires email delivery to be enabled. A low rating is a signal to investigate, not a complete sentiment analysis.

Can I export reviews for rating or version analysis?

Yes. Exports contain structured review data ready for analysis in your existing tools. Compare the records your monitor has collected, using source dates and app versions where supplied. The export is not a complete history of every store review.

Hear it from your reviews.
Not from your rating.
