AppRoast

AppRoast started as a fun AI tool that “roasted” app reviews to explain why users hated an app.

But after talking to founders, indie developers and product teams, we realized something:

People didn’t actually want jokes.

They wanted to know:

• Why ratings suddenly dropped
• What users started complaining about after a release
• Which issues are trending right now
• Why competitors are getting better reviews

So we rebuilt AppRoast into an AI-powered app review monitoring platform for mobile teams.

AppRoast monitors App Store & Google Play reviews, analyzes complaint trends, detects sentiment changes, and compares your app against competitors.

You can monitor your own apps, track competitor weaknesses, compare iOS vs Android feedback, and get structured insights instead of reading thousands of reviews manually.

What AppRoast helps you discover:

🔥 Top recurring complaints users mention
📉 Rating drops and sentiment shifts
⚔️ Competitor weaknesses and opportunities
🍎🤖 Differences between iOS and Android feedback
📊 AI-generated recommendations on what to fix next

Built for indie developers, founders, PMs, app studios and mobile teams who want to understand what users actually think — before ratings tank.

Currently looking for early testers.

→ 3-day free trial
→ 50% off first month for early adopters who share feedback

Interesting start 👀

BTW: what do you think about adding real-time stats to the site with filters for day / week / month / all-time?

Would you actually use it?

While validating product ideas, I got tired of digging through endless App Store and Google Play reviews just to answer simple questions:

• Why are users suddenly unhappy?
• What complaints keep showing up over and over?
• Why does Android hate us while iOS loves us? 😅
• What are competitors consistently getting wrong?

Reading reviews manually across iOS and Android (for your own app and competitors) gets painful fast.

So I built AppRoast.

Paste any app and get an instant AI-powered roast based on real App Store & Google Play reviews.

The goal is simple: understand app feedback without manually reading hundreds of repetitive reviews.

Right now AppRoast helps surface:

🔥 Why users hate the app — top complaints with frequency
😍 What users actually love — so you don’t break what works
⚡ Quick wins — actionable improvements for developers
📱 iOS vs Android differences — because users behave differently
📊 Real sentiment — based on actual ratings, not guesswork

Works for your own app.

Works for competitors too 👀

Honest MVP note: I’m intentionally launching this early to validate demand before investing heavily into the full vision.

Right now, roasts analyze a focused set of recent reviews to keep things fast (and free) while still surfacing strong patterns quickly.

The bigger vision is to build the fastest way to understand app feedback without manually reading hundreds of reviews.

What’s next?

🔜 Deeper historical analysis (up to 5,000 reviews)
🔜 Monitoring & sentiment alerts
🔜 Competitor tracking
🔜 PDF reports
🔜 Roast history & comparisons
🔜 Trending / most roasted apps

Planned pricing direction

For now, AppRoast is free while I validate demand.

The longer-term plan is a mix of:

• Free tier → limited daily roasts

• Paid plans → deeper analysis, monitoring, alerts, competitor tracking, and larger review limits

I’m also testing willingness to pay through an Early Supporter offer:

$39 one-time → 12 months of Founder access when paid plans launch

Would love feedback from other founders/builders here:

1. Would you actually use something like this?

2. What would make it valuable enough to pay for?

3. Which roadmap feature would matter most?

Thanks for checking out AppRoast 🙌
