How I turned thousands of app store reviews into product insights in seconds
If you’re building an app, one of the most valuable sources of product insight is already public:
App Store and Google Play reviews.
The problem is they’re messy.
Thousands of reviews mentioning bugs, feature requests, UX frustrations, and random complaints. Reading them manually takes hours.
So I built AppReviewLens.
It analyses reviews from any app and surfaces the patterns that actually matter:
• features users keep requesting
• UX issues hurting retention
• recurring bugs
• sentiment trends across reviews
Instead of guessing what users want, you can see exactly what they’re telling you.
I originally built it for my own apps, but realised other founders might find it useful too.
Curious how other builders here analyse competitor reviews when doing product research.
If anyone wants to try it or share feedback, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
