About the startup

I got tired of manually reading app reviews, so I built AppRoast. While validating product ideas, I kept running into the same problem: Understanding *why* users are unhappy means digging through hundreds of repetitive App Store and Google Play reviews. - Across iOS and Android. - For your app. - And competitors. - It gets painful fast. So I built AppRoast. Paste any app and get an instant AI-powered roast based on real App Store & Google Play reviews. Right now AppRoast helps surface: 🔥 Top complaints users keep repeating 😍 What users actually love ⚡ Quick wins for developers 📱 iOS vs Android differences 📊 Real sentiment from ratings & reviews Works for your own app. Works for competitors too 👀 Honest MVP note: I’m launching early to validate demand before building the full platform. Roasts currently analyze a focused set of recent reviews to keep things fast (and free), while still surfacing strong patterns quickly. The bigger vision: → deeper historical analysis (up to 5,000 reviews) → monitoring & sentiment alerts → competitor tracking → PDF reports → roast history & comparisons I’d genuinely love founder feedback: Would you actually use something like this? And more importantly: What would make this valuable enough to pay for? AppRoast → approast.app
