Thanks, Eric, for hunting us! Hello Product Hunters, I’m Anatoly, CEO & Co-founder at AppFollow, along with @tahorg and @fxzuz. It’s time to introduce you to our newest version of AppFollow: 2.0. Since the first launch AppFollow has been significantly improved and enhanced with new features. These are the most important improvements we’ve made: - Integrations with Slack, HipChat, Zendesk, Trello and email — all information about app changes can be delivered directly to these channels; - Reply to Google Play reviews — allows replying to user reviews directly from AppFollow; - Automatic review translation — no matter what language user speaks, integration with Google Translate erased all barriers; - Featuring notifications — Slack notifications when apps get featured in App Store; - Significantly optimized tools for tracking reviews, keywords, ranks, and more; - API — it’s possible to create customised dashboards, reports and select app data for monitoring; - Windows Store Support — initially the tool was tracking only App Store and Google Play. We want to thank our users for being active and responsive. Their feedback and requests were at the core of all these changes. If you are interested in the whole timeline of AppFollow changes, you’re welcome to our blog https://blog.appfollow.io/appfol... It’d be great to hear back from you. Share with us what you like about the updated service and what still needs to be improved. Thanks for checking us out!

Ben Tossell
Whats the update?
Anatoly Sharifulin
@bentossell Hi Ben, thanks for your reply. It's new major version of our product. Full list of new features and updates here https://blog.appfollow.io/appfol...
Ben Tossell
@sharifulin yeah I only see - Web-site re-launch based on users feedback: full service description, F.A.Q., team bio, pricing, etc. - New pricing: simplified and highly customisable
Anatoly Sharifulin
@bentossell not exactly, it's final changes before release. Last launch was in March 2016, it was version 1.10. After that we improved a lot of stuff and released new features like custom tags for reviews, multi-user support, keyword ranking chart, add supporting windows store, compare tool, integration with Google Play console via OAuth client, bulk settings for integrations, featuring monitor for Slack, and so on.
Eugene Kruglov
@bentossell @sharifulin Since March we added lots of new things actually: - we significantly updated all existing integrations including Slack - we added Zendesk - we added Windows Store - we added support for GP Dev Console OAuth (e.g., you can now reply directly from dashboard) - we upgraded our API - and tons of smaller changes and improvements
Ben Tossell
@tahorg @sharifulin ok thats clearer. thanks
Kwame Som-Pimpong
Interesting site. How does this compete with AppAnnie's offerings?
Eugene Kruglov
@kwamesompimpong as far as I know, AppAnnie has no integrations and you're quite limited with what you can do with their tools for app monitoring
Eugene Kruglov
@kwamesompimpong we actually do quite opposite things with AA: we are day-to-day app monitor and they are sales and in-app analytics.
Leonid  Bogolubov
@tahorg when AppAnnie buy AppFollow? :)
Eugene Kruglov
@leonid_bogolubov when it's time =)
Eugene Kruglov
@leonid_bogolubov that was super easy =))))))))))))
Константин Дегтярёв
The great update, team! I will be very glad when you add segmentation of reviews by app versions.
Eugene Kruglov
@rirus Konstantin, thanks for your support. If I'm not mistaken, you can filter reviews by app versions in your personal account with Filter by version
Константин Дегтярёв
@tahorg Thank you for the answer. Actually, this option available for AppStore apps, but doesn't for apps from Google Play.
Eugene Kruglov
@rirus yeah, with GP it's a bit tricker. But if you do OAuth integration with your dev console, things should change.
Eugene Kruglov
@rirus you are very welcome =)
Mark Ten
We track in Slack reviews of 300+ apps with AppFollow. Would die doing it manually.
Eugene Kruglov
@marc_ten Mark, that's the best recommendation we could have! Thanks for being with and for your support!
Anatoly Sharifulin
@marc_ten Mark, it's awesome case. Thanks for your support and feedback. Cheers!
Ilia Kukharev
Perfect tool, I have all-in-one: keyword monitoring in my Slack, competitors tracking via graphs and weekly e-mails (I know everything about competitors: their rankings, reviews, updates). With the latest updates (Google Play integration, for example) I get android reviews in the same time they posted and can reply to the user and solve his problem. Highly recommended tool.
Eugene Kruglov
@ilia_kukharev Ilia, thanks a lot for your kind words and for your vote!
Anatoly Sharifulin
@ilia_kukharev Ilya, you're welcome! Thanks for your real useful feedback. It's very important for us.

Anatoly Sharifulin
@pavlo_kuznetsov we're happy! Thanks for your feedback.
Eric Willis
Real time monitoring for reviews, ranks, keywords, updates in App Store, Google Play & Windows Store. Powerful integrations with Slack, HipChat, Trello, Zendesk and email.
Anna Koltsova
@sharifulin Appfollow is great tool, really like it. Do you have plans to calculate number of downloads for ios apps and estimate revenue?
Eugene Kruglov
@nyushechka_z @sharifulin Anna, thanks for being with us and supporting us for so long (almost a year, right?). We do have plans on adding additional data like downloads and revenue estimates, first of all for your own apps. Afterwards, if we manage, we'll try to do estimates for all other apps as well.
Anna Koltsova
@tahorg @sharifulin thank you, I think if you manage to do this stuff then Appfollow would be totatlly perfect service for tracking reviews and competitors! Good luck.
Eugene Kruglov
@nyushechka_z @sharifulin Thanks! We'll do our best =)
Anatoly Sharifulin
@nyushechka_z @tahorg Thanks, Anna! Your feedback is very important for us.

elena_ab
These guys are really great and very fast. We've been using them for almost a year. You just ask them to add a new feature and they implement it within days. Make your wishes come true with this efficient and very client-oriented team.
Anatoly Sharifulin
@yelena_ab We're happy! Thank you for your feedback.
Eugene Kruglov
@yelena_ab Elena, thanks a lot for your kind feedback!
Vasiliy Mescheryakov
I took a part in customer development made by the guys 2 years ago and has been a loyal user since then. It's amazing how much they archived during this time. From a pure idea to one of the leading mobile marketing service out there And what's really important it's how they react to community requests -- listening to, clever implementation, but no blind following
Eugene Kruglov
@wasiafuse Vasya, thank you so much! That's very touching indeed.
Anatoly Sharifulin
@wasiafuse thanks for great feedback! It's very important for us
Paul Shuteyev
Hi guys, looks great! How many apps can I monitor simultaneously?
Eugene Kruglov
@paul_shuteyev Paul, hi. If you wish to stay on Free plan, it's only 2 apps, if you need more, we'll ask you to switch to Premium. And there you can choose yourself how many apps you need to track.
Anatoly Marin
Hey guys, congrats on the featuring. Any plans for calculating how much traffic apps get per keyword? This would be super informative for developers like me.
Eugene Kruglov
@anatoly_marin Anatoly, thanks for your support! We do plan continuous upgrades to all of our tools. So, we will do our best to add this feature as well.
Mederinho
Looks good guys, I think adding "mobile intelligence" component would be awesome, or "app analytics", by tracking #of ratings for companies one can estimate market share year by year, month to month. Also, some apps are very old and if one wants to know their overall ranking it take time to go all the way back to 2010, I wish the date box was 'type in' date too. Hope this helps.
Eugene Kruglov
@mederinho10 Thanks a lot for your support and feedback! We got the idea and we'll do our best to implement that stuff in the near future.
igor komarnitskiy
Guys, this is really cool! Thanks for such a comfortable thing. Let's take another way to track)))
Eugene Kruglov
@nymdar4eg thanks for your support! Let's do it ;))
