Show HN: App Reviews Analysis and Summarization

  • Very nice, from what I can see.

    Is this only targeted for authors of apps, not consumers? Because I'm a little confused by the sign-up requirements for viewing more data, but with the restriction on sign-ups for authors of apps:

    > Please add an app before continuing

    > If you haven't released an App, add your closest competitor instead

    > If we can't find your App, paste the iTunes id or URL of the App

    On the surface, this seems like anyone could benefit from this data. But if it's meant to just be for authors, seems like a lot of missed opportunity.

    Or am I misunderstanding the whole point?

  • So, I just signed up. I have a trivia game I just launched and I'm trying to boost downloads and IAPs (downloads are actually pretty good).

    I really like what I see but I'm trying to understand where I get my $35+/mo of value. What do review analysis & search ranking do for me (that I can't get by just browsing the app store)? How do I convert the data you give into more downloads?

    I don't mean any of this as a knock. Your product looks great and I'm willing to put my money behind tools that will help my app.

  • It looks useful....IF your app is already a success and has massive downloads/reviews. For those who only get a review every few days(guessing 95% of apps), how does your service provide value?

  • Very cool. While you can see (with some mouse-overs) how each version does, I think it's important enough to give it its own section (average rating per version, biggest + an - comments, etc.). Also, keep the touch devices in mind; hiding data under mouse-overs is a nono in this day and age.

  • I like how you can clearly see shifts in opinion in the small graph at the top of the page. The light grey bars indicating the new releases could be a little easier to see though. I was almost going to suggest that as a feature before noticing.

  • The simplicity of data representation is impressive

  • This is a nice missing tool for app developers. Only if I had enough reviews...

  • wow, really valuable data/service
