AppFollow product updates: what's new in Q1 2025

Introducing quarterly AppFollow product updates! No more trying to find what we’re up to. In short, we've been busy this quarter.

Here's what we built in Q1 2025 and why it matters for your apps.

#Automation pricing structure revamp

Making things run on their own is the best way forward—especially as you’re gaining more users. We wanted to provide an opportunity for automation to everyone, and now you can decide which features you’d like active on your account:

• Lower-tier access: You don't need an expensive plan to use automation anymore.
• Try it yourself: You can test the basic automation conditions, like Review rating or Review text, without sitting through a sales demo.

#Rating chart improvements

We’ve made significant improvements to the Rating chart:

• Worldwide view is back: Google Play worldwide data has returned.
• Only reliable data: We now show star shares because those are 100% accurate.
• Coming soon: In the next two months, we'll clearly separate public and Google Play Console data.

These changes mean you can trust the rating data you're looking at.

#Home hub upgrade

The Home Hub is the center of essential reporting metrics now:

• AppFollow Vitals: Track what matters in one glance:
  • Average app rating
  • Reply rate
  • Average reply time
  • Auto-reply percentage
  • Tag coverage
• Each metric tells you if you're doing poorly, average, or great.
• AI gives you the key points without having to dig.
• Coming later: We'll add category averages so you can see how bad your competitors are doing, as they are not using AppFollow.

No more hunting around for performance metrics!

#Enhanced semantic analysis

• Better accuracy: Tags are 10-15% more accurate.
• More tags: We've expanded from 31 to 41 semantic tags to catch more specific feedback

Now, you'll know exactly what users love and hate about your app with much higher precision.
