My company has 6 apps in the App Store. I want to know if there is an easy way to be alerted when a new review is posted in the App Store. Is there a program that can do this easily, or will I have to log in to the App Store each time?
I found this AppSales Mobile on github, thanks to futuretap.
This app can download App Store reviews to your iPhone. I think it won't be hard for you to figure out the "Alert" part.
There's also this:

Not an app, but still very useful.

URL for sending a user to the app review page on device's app store
Rating and reviews from within an IOS app
Direct "rate in iTunes" link in my app?
All the solutions to these question take the user to app store and leave our app.
Is it possible to rate and review the app from within app like a web view. So that the user may not have to leave the app.
Please suggest
Currently, it's changed. You can use SKStoreProductViewController to show App Store from within an app as described in my answer here.
There is no alternative. Users can only rate and review through the App Store app.
Most tutorials I've been able to find are dated and inconsistent with regard to what is actually necessary to have uploaded and approved in iTunes Connect. Following one tutorial I uploaded incomplete binary and rejected it. I then added an In App Purchase Item. I uploaded an image and filled in all the registration information.
So currently,
App - Status -- Developer Rejected
In App Purchase Item -- Ready to Submit
I am able to make requests to the store kit, but I am getting 0 results. Is it possible to get results with my current iTunes Connect statuses?
Edit: I appreciate the trouble shooting advice. But I want to make sure that it is in fact possible to retrieve purchase items with the above statuses.
Make sure that you provided all the details for the app including the in app purchase details along with screen shot.
Next is to make sure that the app ID's are same in server and in the app.
When testing in-app purchase, create test account in app store and use it for testing. Make sure that the mail you are using is not existing. Also on your device, you have to use those test credentials to test the app.
Hope this helps.
Yes, it is possible as I just managed to do it. My problem was tax info. Thanks to Paul Mason, your comment was the correct answer!
I have made an app and integrated in app purchases feature.
After reading a lot and lot I have finally working in app purchasing featured app and when I use my test account (created through iTunesconnect), it all just go smoothly and works as like expected.
I just wanted to ask that, do I need to make any configuration in iTunes connect or enable/disable any options before going live by uploading the app to the app store?
Or should I consider that if the test account works well, it will be working live too without any additional changes.
Also let me tell you all that I am a beginner for this in-app purchasing concern so please forgive if this is a silly question. :)
Thanks,
Just make sure that you link the in-app purchase to the correct version of your app in iTunes Connect and that your in-app purchase is ready for review. It that is correct, then you're ready for upload and review.
Does anyone know if you can send a user to an app's update in the appstore?
We want to do this from within the app and/or when getting a Push Notification.
Thanks!
Yes, it is possible as long as you have the URL that links to your app.
I'm not 100% sure, but I seem to remember seeing something in the apple rules that means you may not be able to send a push notification advertising new apps. But an update may be ok.
Remember as well that a user may have already updated the app because they had the badge on the AppStore icon and then you push a notification out to all users. Could be annoying.
I am having an app. I am going to submit it to the store. In that app I am having a button that should go to iTunes page of the very same app. I guess there should be a way to do that using app bundle or plist or something..
If I can do it, How I can do it?
Is it possible to get the link of an app in itunes store even before it is submitted to the store?
Thank you..
http://itunes.com/apps/myappname
Where "myappname" is your app name minus spaces and all lowercase.
Working examples:
http://itunes.com/apps/amazon
http://itunes.com/apps/thevoid
http://itunes.com/apps/huluplus
The iTunes store URL is something like this.
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=your_app_id&mt=8
You can get the your_app_id after creating the app in iTunes. That means you just need to create the app to get the URL. No need to submit the app just to get the ID.
After getting the ID, open that URL from the button handler.
You could use the easy-to-read link feature as outlined in this Technical Q&A. Just be aware that this link takes a few minutes to become active after your application has changed state to "Available For Sale".
I answered this two years ago, here: How can I link to my app in the App Store (iTunes)?
