Intro

Rated!! is an app that helps developers to monitor user ratings of their published apps.

The app periodically polls Apple site for updated ratings of each app in the configured countries.

To begin, you need to add the apps you would like to monitor by tapping “Add apps to monitor” button or through the “Apps” menu.

The free Basic edition allows you to monitor one app in up to three countries.

The Premium edition lets you monitor up to three apps in unlimited number of countries.

The Pro edition ads an unlimited number of apps to that.

Add Apps

To add an app to monitor the user ratings for, you need to know either that app ID or the developer ID.

You can type either one in the edot box at the top of the screen and tap the “Lookup” button.

If you entered an app ID, that app will be added to the list below.

Add Apps by Developer’s ID

If you entered a developer’s ID, Rated!! will look up all the apps published by that developer and add them to the list below.

At this point, you can select any or all apps and tap “Add selected” button.

Please note that you do not need any credentials to look up the ratings of an app. It doesn’t even have to be your app.

Main View

Now the apps are loaded into the main view.

For each app, the following information is displayed:

• the app’s icom
• the name of the app
• the latest released version
• the date of the initial released
• number of user ratings
• an average user rating for that app

Please note that the new ratings received after the last time you looked at that app’s details will be color-coded: green if the average rating went up, red if it went down. The badge on the app’s icon indicates how many new ratings were received.

You can tap the chevrons to expand or collapse each region. You can also tap the toggle by the region name to select or unselect all countries in that region.

When you tap on an app in the main view, you will see the details for that app:
