Your ratings on the Home Screen
A small widget keeps your app's ratings in view. Days when 1-star ratings went up are marked with orange dots, so a bad day stands out without opening anything. One tracked app and the widget are free.
App Store rating widget for indie developers
Watch your App Store ratings from the Home Screen
StarPulse turns public App Store ratings into a small Home Screen widget, daily rating charts by country and 1-star alerts. You add an app by name, URL or App ID. No App Store Connect login.
Free to download. Tracking one app is free; Pro adds more apps, longer history and 1-star alerts.
What StarPulse shows you
Five views of the same question: is my app rating moving the wrong way?
Daily new ratings, not lifetime totals
A lifetime total barely moves. StarPulse follows what is new each day, so a quiet spike or a slow slide shows up as an App Store rating trend you can actually read.
Ratings over time, by star
Follow how your average rating moves and see the rating mix by star on a chart. The free version covers the last 7 and 30 days; Pro adds 90 days and all time.
App Store ratings by country
Switch between worldwide and a single country, and compare average rating and rating count side by side. A drop in one market no longer hides inside the global number.
1-star alerts (Pro)
Pro can notify you when 1-star ratings increase, for example after a release. The alerts are local notifications on your iPhone.
Track your own app's ratings on your Home Screen.
How to start
Add your app
Search by app name, or use an App Store URL or App ID. StarPulse reads public App Store information, so there is no login or API key.
Add the widget
Touch and hold your Home Screen, add StarPulse's small widget, and choose where it sits.
Check in at a glance
Look at the widget, or open the dashboard for daily new ratings and the country breakdown. An orange dot means more 1-star ratings that day.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need my App Store Connect login or an API key?
No. StarPulse works from public App Store rating information, so you can start with just an app name, App Store URL or App ID.
Is StarPulse free?
It is free to download. The free version tracks one app, shows the last 30 days of history and includes the widget with orange dots. Pro, an auto-renewing subscription, adds up to 20 apps, 90-day and all-time history, and 1-star increase alerts. Prices are shown in the app.
Does StarPulse show ratings by country?
Yes. You can view worldwide numbers or a country breakdown across supported App Store markets.
Does it replace App Store Connect?
No. StarPulse focuses on how your star ratings are moving. For sales, analytics and review replies, keep using App Store Connect.
Which devices are supported?
iPhone with iOS 17 or later. The app is available in English and Japanese.
What does StarPulse store about me?
There is no sign-up account. Tracked apps, rating history and widget data are stored on your device. The privacy policy at the bottom of this page explains analytics, purchases and the rating cache in full.
