Launching AppRevu — All your iOS app reviews in one dashboard
by Starcrown Inc.
Today I'm launching AppRevu (apprevu.app) — a SaaS for indie iOS developers who run multiple apps and need a sane way to monitor reviews.
The problem
I've been running ~20 iOS apps as a solo developer for years (dictionary apps, photo tools, games, fitness utilities). Every day I'd open App Store Connect to check reviews, and the flow looks like:
- Pick an app from the list
- Click "Ratings and Reviews"
- Switch territories
- Scroll, scroll
- Go back
- Pick the next app
- Repeat 20 times
I tried existing solutions like AppFollow and Sensor Tower, but they're priced for large publishers ($60+/month). I just wanted a simple unified dashboard that fits a solo dev's budget.
What AppRevu does
- ✅ All your iOS app reviews in one dashboard — no more bouncing between ASC tabs
- ✅ AI reply suggestions via Claude Haiku — friendly, professional, or grateful tones
- ✅ Slack / Discord notifications for new reviews (configurable star rating threshold)
- ✅ Auto-translation of foreign-language reviews
- ✅ App icon previews for instant visual recognition
- ✅ Last 90 days by default — focus on actionable reviews
Tech stack
Built solo, optimized for low cost and low ops burden:
- Cloudflare Workers + D1 (global edge, near-zero cold starts)
- Better Auth + Kysely (type-safe auth & DB queries)
- Stripe (Checkout + Customer Portal + Webhooks)
- Anthropic Claude Haiku 4.5 for AI replies (cost-optimized)
- Apple App Store Connect API (official API for fetching reviews and posting replies)
Security
App Store Connect API private keys are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest. The master encryption key is stored in Cloudflare Secrets, which means even I can't decrypt them outside of the Worker runtime.
Pricing
To celebrate launch, the first 100 signups get Founding Member pricing:
- Free plan: 3 apps, 3 AI suggestions/month
- Pro (Founding Member): $5/month or $50/year (yearly recommended — locked in forever)
- After 100 users: $9/month or $90/year
Founding Member pricing stays locked forever as long as your subscription remains active.
What's next
I'll be adding features based on user feedback. Reach out via contact form or X (@wataru812s) — happy to chat about anything technical or business-side.
If you're another indie iOS developer running multiple apps, I'd love your feedback 🙏
