See which release your reviews are actually about.
ShipSignal groups your App Store and Google Play reviews by app version and by issue, translates them into English, and tells you whether your last release fixed the problem or caused a new one. One flat price, not per app.
Free check: health score and top 3 issues for any public App Store app, no account needed. The $19 report covers iOS and Android and is ready in about 10 minutes, at a private link from your Gumroad receipt.
Want ongoing tracking? Pre-order 6 months for $39.
Example: complaints by version for a habit-tracker app

How it works
For indie developers who ship often and get reviews in many languages. The free check and the $19 report work today. Steps 3 and 4 keep running after every release and come with the subscription, which you can pre-order now.
1. Paste a link
Paste an App Store link for a free check or the $19 full report. For Android apps, the report uses the reviews export from your Play Console.
2. Grouped by version
Every review is tagged with the version it was written on and grouped with others about the same problem, across countries and languages.
3. Know what changed
After each release you get a short digest: what got fixed, what is new, and what users still ask for, with translated quotes.
4. Reply faster
Draft replies in the reviewer's language. You read and approve every reply before it goes out.
Why not the big tools?
Enterprise review suites are built for support teams. ShipSignal is built for the person who also wrote the code.
| ShipSignal | Typical review suite | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $19 one-off report today; $15/month flat for up to 10 apps at launch | From $129–179/month for review automation |

FAQ
What's in the $19 report, and how fast is it?
Everything in the free check plus: complaints clustered by issue and version (new, ongoing or fixed), rating and sentiment trends, the top 5 fixes ranked by impact, a comparison with up to 2 competitors, and translated quotes from up to 10 countries. It is generated by software, usually in 5 to 15 minutes, and stays at your private link for 12 months.
How do I get the report?
After paying, open your purchase on Gumroad (the "View content" button in your Gumroad receipt email takes you there) and click "View your report". It opens a private page that shows progress and then the report. Keep the link; anyone with it can see the report.
Can I get a refund on the $19 report?
Yes. If the report can't be generated, you are refunded in full automatically. If you're not happy with it, email hello@highfieldlabs.com within 14 days and you'll get a full refund.
Which data do you use?
For the free check and iOS reports, Apple's public customer-review feed (the most recent reviews per country) and app details from Apple's public lookup service. For Android reports, the review export you download from your own Play Console. AI labels and translates reviews, so a few labels may be wrong. At launch, the subscription will use the official App Store Connect and Google Play Developer APIs with your permission, and we'll never post a reply without your approval.
Does it work for Android apps?
Yes, for your own apps. After paying for the report you upload your Play Console reviews export. Google doesn't allow collecting other people's Play reviews, so competitor comparisons use iOS apps.
What if you don't launch?
You get a full refund. You can also ask for a refund at any time before launch.
What is the pre-order refund policy?
This is a pre-order. You can ask for a full refund for any reason at any time before ShipSignal launches; just email hello@highfieldlabs.com. If ShipSignal hasn't launched by 15 December 2026, everyone is refunded in full automatically. After launch, you can ask for a full refund within 14 days of getting access. Refunds go back to your original payment method through Gumroad.
What do I get when I pre-order?
A receipt and a pre-order licence key by email. At launch you use the key to activate 6 months of the Indie plan (up to 10 apps on both stores).
Who is behind this?
An independent developer with 14 years of building web and mobile apps, who got tired of reading reviews in five languages.
