In App Purchases, Localisations, Screenshots, everything is easier using Helm! ### 5/5 — Sehr Solide App Store Connect App *2026-05-21* Das App Store Connect Portal ist eine Webseite die jeder Entwickler für Apple Plattformen kennt und nutzt. Ich persönlich befasse mich nun schon seit über 10 Jahren mit dem Thema Apple Platform Entwicklung und der Nutzung von App Store Connect. Vor diesem Hintergrund habe ich die Helm App als natives Interface für App Store Connect wirklich zu schätzen gelernt. Das veröffentlichen von Versionen für die Öffentlichkeit und für TestFlight ist wirklich einfach. Zum anderen hilft die App auch mit Keywords, Preisfindung und dem Management mehrerer Sprachen und von App Reviews. Von mir gibt es eine klare Empfehlung! ### 5/5 — Absolutely must have *2026-05-11, version 2.2.4* Helm has actually made me excited to hit Submit for Review. Managing my apps has never been easier - you gotta download it! ### 5/5 — Responsive developers *2026-04-30, version 2.2.1* Love the Mac app. Developers responded quickly to fix an issue on the iOS app. Keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — Excellent product *2026-04-13, version 2.2.1* Helpful, nicely designed, cool icon & name. ### 5/5 — Life saver! *2026-04-09, version 2.2.1* I thoroughly enjoy how Helm has simplified the process of app release! ### 5/5 — Essential tool for any App developer *2026-03-08, version 2.1.1* I discovered Helm recently when directed by Rocket Sim the simulator sidekick. I am so happy that I have found it. The app and mac app are great, easy to use, premium design and makes following the process for submission easier. I think for any developer who is looking or actively developing for app store connect, Helm will streamline the process and make it easier to follow feedback, details and update configuration. The only thing I'd love to see is a possible helper or guide to find quirks like missing EULA or privacy links in the meta data or when using custom EULA a guide to update the revelant areas. Also a great feature might be some form of guide or paywall vaildator to offer advice on reducing the risk of rejection for purchases including subscriptions. Too many hidden flows in appstore connect for new apps can often lead to several rejections that can be easily avoided and extending the submission checklist in Helm would be helpful. Amazing work Helm is great. ### 5/5 — Sehr gute App *2026-03-01* App ist Mega hilfreich und sehr zu empfehlen. Es geht zwar auch ohne, aber man spart sich ordentlich Zeit. Ich hoffe ihr schafft es in Zukunft so viel wie möglich von App Store Connect (Website) zu implementieren. Hab mir gleich Lifetime gegönnt, da Abonnements nicht so meins ist :D ### 5/5 — A must have for any serious indie dev *2026-02-28* Thank you for making my life easier ### 5/5 — Very useful - Time saver 100% *2026-02-24, version 2.1.3* I’ve struggled with Apple Store connect, wasting time. This is clearly a step forward. Wouldn’t go back to manually do all translations. Keep it up! ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-02-20, version 2.1.2* I just started using this app after hearing about it in multiple places. Wow, I’ve been missing out! Thanks for the great app to help manage ASC. 🙌 ### 5/5 — A Must Have for Developers *2026-02-19, version 2.1.2* I didn’t realize how much Apple allows third parties to access App Store Connect. This puts Connect to shame with all of its capabilities. I’m so sick of Apple being lazy with updating Connect. For example, Apple has never implemented Passkeys to sign-in to Connect. My password manager expects it and I’m always struggling to sign-in. Helm bypasses this with the Connect apis. You can do almost everything when submitting your app to the App Store in helm. I rarely use Connect anymore. I think the biggest thing with Helm is the ai integration which helps optimize your metadata but overall Helm will use ai to do all of your App Store localization for your. That’s right, we now live in an age where ai can now translate your app to a bunch of different languages so you can have the furthest reach with your customer base. Game changer! ### 5/5 — App Store Connect on Steroids *2026-01-22* It does all App Store Connect does, but better. It has all of the features (and more), all well designed and beautifully integrated together. Truly an App Store Connect app we all deserve! If you’ve ever had to use App Store Connect before, then you know. This is better. If you’ve never used App Store Connect before, don’t. Use Helm instead. It’s just better. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re only just getting started ;) ### 5/5 — Puts the wind back in your sails *2026-01-21, version 2.1.2* If you have to manage an app, even one, and even one time I would recommend Helm. The UI/UX is exceptional makes working with App Store Connect an absolute delight. So much so that Helm works in times where the ASC website says that it’s completely broken. I could recommend this incredible app by Hidde and Pol enough! ### 5/5 — I love this app *2025-12-24, version 2.0.8* When you are a developer, you will judge others apps, and sure I can judge this one, it’s amazing. ### 5/5 — Easy to use, easy to submit *2025-12-18* This tool helped me translate and optimise my appstore page, I can’t wait to see the results! A great update would be to see the keyword ranking to select them from the generated list ### 5/5 — Fast and efficient *2025-12-11* I mainly use Helm to reply to App Store reviews. All previous tools (e.g., AppFigures or App Store Connect) have been a pain to work with. Helm ist fast and efficient. Since they are still quite new, I shared some suggestions and feedback and they already implemented some of the feedback, which is great. ### 5/5 — Flawless *2025-11-21, version 2.1.1* This is what App Store Connect should look like. 100% recommended, if you don’t use it you are missing out! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Useful but plagued with many issues *2026-03-18, version 1.1* Clicking “Manage screenshots” or “View screenshots” makes the entire app freeze / become completely unresponsive every single time — 100% reproducible. Those features are dead. Translate button silently overwrites EVERY language translation with ZERO confirmation, preview, or undo. Reckless and outright dangerous. No access to: • Download trends • Actual App Store rejection reasons & full reviewer reply texts ### 2/5 — Ok start, but leaves things to be desired *2024-10-10* Quite slow, not refreshing in many cases (like inviting TestFlight testers for example). No real advantages over Appstoreconnect so far, other than the convenience that you don’t need to log in every time. **Developer response:** We’re sorry you feel this way about Helm, but we would like to thank you for your feedback! We will look into your issues with TestFlight and are working hard on some great new features + speed/performance improvements. I want to highlight that we offer many more advantages over App Store Connect: ASO warnings, easy screenshot uploading, one-click translations, review reply templates and much more… We hope to be able to turn this review ot 5-stars in the future! ### 2/5 — No IAP or Game Centre support *2024-09-19, version 1.3.7* Unfortunately it doesn’t support either of the features that I need it to: IAP and Game Centre. ### 4/5 — Wow! *2025-12-03, version 2.0.8* Ottima app, la migliore che c’è! Mi ha aiutato molto nello sviluppo e deploy del mio gioco! Piccolo update, ho la versione pro da $1,99 a settimana, su iPhone funziona correttamente, ma su Mac non posso usarla e mi dice di fare l’abbonamento a $4,99. ### 4/5 — Gute App mit Problemen *2025-09-23* Die App ist echt gut, hat aber leider ein paar störende Fehler. Aktuell habe ich den Fehler, dass der Status meiner Apps nicht mit dem tatsächlichen Status übereinstimmt. Ebenfalls sehr störend finde ich den Passport. Die Meldung nimmt viel Platz in Anspruch, kann aber nicht deaktiviert werden. **Developer response:** Hallo Affje, Danke für dein Feedback! Wir sind uns nicht sicher, auf welche Status du dich beziehst. Sollte es der App-Review-Status sein, reiche bitte auch Feedback über das Einstellungsmenü ein. Das hilft uns, das Problem einzugrenzen, und wir werden es bald beheben. Zum Thema Pass: Dieser kann entfernt werden, indem du ihn gedrückt hältst und „Nicht mehr anzeigen“ tippst oder einen neuen erstellst. Wir sollten das vielleicht klarer machen, danke für dein Feedback. Wir hoffen, dass wir das bald in eine 5-Sterne-Bewertung verwandeln können! ### 4/5 — Makes my life easier *2025-06-12, version 1.5.3* This app saves me so much time every week. With the auto translate alone it’s worth the money. Plus the design is lovely and the developers are super responsive. ### 4/5 — Excellent app *2025-03-29* This app has saved me so much time submitting many builds of my app to TestFlight. It’s really well made and much faster than using App Store Connect. **Developer response:** Thank you Brendan! 😄 ### 4/5 — Love it! *2025-01-14, version 1.4.6* The translations for all languages are a game changer for me. I used to manually copy and paste, but now this has saved me so much time! ### 4/5 — Best of the Best *2024-11-08* Truly a top of class app. Extremely well designed and infinitely faster than the ASC website. ### 4/5 — Must have for any developer! *2024-11-07, version 1.3.96* This app solves all the issues that App Store Connect creates for us. This way we can focus on delivering great products ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Game Changer for CI/CD and Appstore Management *2026-08-31, version 2.3.8* Through Helm, I’ve been able to help spread the gospel and ship MyPraise App with: - Over 10 releases from TestFlight -> Production - Establish over 120+ paid pricing products in all territories using the easy pricing tool and validation across markets - Quickly change / refine external facing copy and internal / QA facing copy - Add screenshots quickly and reliably Great tool and always reliable and easy to copy and start a new build! ### 5/5 — Super convenient *2026-08-07, version 2.3.7* I’m surprised Apple hasn’t bought this product, it’s an amazing utility for indie developers or organizations with multiple apps or high traffic apps. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-28, version 2.3.1* They built exactly what shouldve been app store connect from the start! Cant wait tk see where they take it! ### 5/5 — Delight! *2026-07-10, version 2.3.5* Everything about this app is just a delightful experience. I’m never using App Store Connect again ### 5/5 — Works great! *2026-06-26* Much needed relief from using the App Store Connect website. ### 5/5 — 귀찮은 것들을 다 해결해 주는 고마운 앱 *2026-06-26* 항상 애플 스토어 커넥트 로그인해야 하고 버튼 누를 때마다 기다려야 하는 등 생각보다 귀찮은 것들이 모든 게 다 해결이 됩니다. 이 앱 덕분에 앱 출시하는 게 더 쉬워졌고 이제 웹사이트 들어가는 일이 거의 없어요. ### 5/5 — Excellent Tool! *2026-06-15, version 2.3.1* I literally fan of this tool, making my job quite easy! ### 5/5 — Pre macOS 26 Support Still Needed *2026-06-09, version 1.6.1* I love this app, as it has saved me countless hours of busy work. But there is a bug in the latest version that has rendered it useless and the latest version, with the bug fix, requires macOS 26 which my Intel based MacBook doesn’t support. Yeah, I could spend $5000 on a new MacBook, but you could also just maintain compatibility for those of us who aren’t prepared to buy new hardware. —— For what it’s worth, I did just notice that I still have v1.6.1 installed on my Mac and that v2+ has been available for 8+ months. ### 5/5 — Le top du top ! *2026-06-04* Je pouvais plus me voir le App Store Connect en peinture. Helm m’y a redonné goût ! Il faut avouer que ça simplifie réellement la vie et rend l’utilisation de ASC bien plus plaisant. Je recommande sans hésiter. ### 5/5 — Language in Review *2026-05-29, version 2.2.5* In Customer Review, will be great to show the language detected for the review. A message from Germany store is not necessarily written in German. It is hard for me as Chinese to differentiate. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
