Earful reads up to a year of your app's reviews, groups them into specific problems, and ranks them by how many people they hurt. You get a short report within the hour, not another dashboard to check.
Priority issues
Every issue comes with the numbers behind it and the reviews that prove it. These three pages are taken from real reports.
iOS 11.3%, Android 4.8% in the period both stores cover. Version 3.15.0.876 (Android) shows it at 2.8× the usual rate. At the competitor it's 9.2%.
“3 dancing dots... if an intruder broke in, I'd be 6 ft under waiting for those 3 little dots to finish their business!”
| Issue, share of each app's reviews | You | Competitor |
|---|---|---|
| Cameras go offline or won't connect | 12.8% | 9.0% |
| Features moved behind a paywall | 6.4% | 4.0% |
| Live view slow or won't load | 5.1% | 9.2% |
| Events missed or clips cut short | 4.6% | 6.1% |
Both apps classified with the same issue list, so the comparison is like for like.
No integration, no access to your developer accounts. Earful only uses public reviews.
App Store, Google Play or both. Before you pay, you see how many reviews we found and what period they cover.
Each review is classified on its own: what it's about, how unhappy the person is on a 1–5 scale, and whether they're asking for something. Then they're grouped into issues specific to your app, like "charged after cancelling", not "billing".
A PDF with issues ranked by impact, the 90-day trend, the versions where each one spikes, real quotes, and what users ask for. Add competitors and every issue is compared side by side.
Review data is messy. The report says where it's thin instead of hiding it.
Every number comes from classifying each review and counting. No model writes the percentages.
Reviews are quoted as written, in the original language. Author names are left out.
Apple only shares recent App Store reviews; Google Play goes back further. Trends are measured within each store so the mix can't fake a change.
Months with too few reviews aren't plotted, and a version needs 20 reviews before it's ranked. The method page lists what was left out and why.
You pay for the apps you want analysed, not for review counts. We decide how many reviews to read so the numbers hold up.

Up to three, added to your report.
Your app plus two competitors: $29 + $19 + $19 = $67, one report.
Any app on the App Store or Google Play with enough reviews to say something. We check before you pay; if an app has fewer than 100 reviews in the last year, we won't sell a report for it.
By card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Checkout runs on Polar, which handles sales tax and sends you an invoice. Refunds go back the way you paid.
Per store, the last 12 months or the most recent 3,000 reviews, whichever comes first. Past about 3,000 reviews the ranking stops changing, so reading more only makes you wait. For very busy apps that can mean a few days of reviews; you see the exact period before you pay, and trend charts are left out when the period is too short to show one.
Apple only shares the most recent few hundred App Store reviews per country. Google Play goes back further. The report lists the period each store covers, and trends are measured within each store.
No. Every review is read and sorted on its own, then counted. Every percentage in the report is a count of reviews, and every quote is a real review, word for word.
Reviews in any language are read, and quotes stay in the original. Reports are available in English and Turkish.
No. Earful only uses reviews that are already public in the stores.
