## What is StarPulse?

StarPulse is an app rating widget and tracker for indie iOS developers.

Your app can lose momentum before a review ever appears. A silent 1-star rating, a bad release, or a market-specific drop can sit unnoticed while you avoid another App Store Connect login.

StarPulse lets you add an app by name, App Store URL, or App ID. It checks public App Store ratings across markets and turns daily changes into a clean Home Screen widget.

What you can track:
- Daily new ratings, not just lifetime totals
- 1-star increases highlighted as orange dots
- Average rating movement over time
- Rating mix by star
- Country breakdown across supported App Store markets
- Local alerts for 1-star increases and stale updates

Why developers use it:
- Notice quality drops without opening App Store Connect every day
- Catch 1-star spikes after releases, onboarding changes, paywall tests, or outages
- Keep ratings visible on the Home Screen
- Start with public App Store information — no App Store Connect credentials required

StarPulse is built for solo developers who want a quiet early-warning system for app quality, ASO, and growth.

StarPulse is not affiliated with Apple.
