App Store Connect + Ceres
Connect App Store Connect to Ceres — your AI Growth Officer — so its specialist agents work from your real App Store Connect data. Read your App Store ratings & reviews — and reply to them, with your approval.
What Ceres does with App Store Connect
Your App Store ratings and recent reviews by territory — stars, titles, and full review text — so your agents can track sentiment and surface what users are asking for.
Reply to App Store reviews — every reply is proposed for your approval before it is published. A human signs off before Ceres posts a public developer response.
What Ceres reads from App Store Connect
- Star ratings (1 to 5) on each recent review, plus your app's overall average rating
- The full text of each review — the title and the complete written body, not just a snippet
- The reviewer's nickname and the date the review was submitted
- The territory (country or region) each rating and review comes from, so sentiment can be read market by market
- The app version a review was left against, so you can tell whether a release fixed or broke something
- Any existing developer responses already published on your reviews, so nothing is duplicated
- Emerging themes across reviews — recurring feature requests, complaints, and praise your users keep raising
How Ceres uses App Store Connect
Ceres connects to App Store Connect and reads your ratings and reviews on a schedule, pulling each recent review's star rating, title, full text, reviewer nickname, submission date, app version, and the territory it came from. It does this continuously in the background, so your standing picture of App Store sentiment stays current instead of waiting for you to scroll the reviews tab. Beyond reading, this connection has exactly one write action, and it is tightly gated: Ceres can reply to a review only by proposing a draft response that waits for your explicit one-click approval. Nothing is posted as a public developer response until a human signs off — there is no autonomous posting.
Your Launch & PR Strategist is the agent that turns this raw feedback into work. It tracks sentiment by territory and across releases, surfaces the recurring requests and complaints your users keep raising, and flags the reviews that deserve a reply — an angry one-star after a release, a thoughtful question, a piece of praise worth acknowledging. When a response is warranted, it drafts a reply in your voice, attaches the review it is answering, and hands it to you for approval. You read the draft; you approve it; only then does it become a public developer response on the App Store.
The honest value is a standing review-monitoring capability that runs for you without you babysitting the reviews tab. You get an evidence-cited read on what users are actually saying — which version triggered the complaints, which markets are unhappy, which feature people keep asking for — and a drafted reply ready the moment something needs a public answer. Every finding traces back to a specific review, and every reply stays under your control: Ceres reads freely and proposes, but you remain the one who decides what goes public on your App Store listing.
In practice
The Launch & PR Strategist flags a cluster of 2-star reviews about a new bug, drafts a calm public response for each, and proposes them for your approval before anything posts.
