Top Displayed Reviews

GET 5 Credits / Request /ios/applications/{APPLICATION_ID}/reviews/displayed/{SORT}.json

Top Displayed Reviews allows you to fetch all the top displayed reviews entries about a specific app on the App Store in the selected country and based on the given sort parameter. Apple classes by default the application's reviews by the Most Useful. With that endpoint you would be able to get the top displayed reviews for an application, based on that criterion.

Please note that the example has been stripped of redundant data to keep the documentation as concise as possible. The API might return additional, undocumented fields in the JSON, which your App should not rely upon.

Top Displayed Reviews Request

The Review list contains a series of review entries describing comments made by users on the app in the selected country. We limit the number of reviews returned by the API to the first 100 items by default, but you can specify the size by yourself (see below for more details).

By default, these results are sorted by the following criterion: Most Helpful, in the same way, as Apple does in its Store.

      "title": "Best Messenger I’ve EVER Had",
      "body": "First of all, I love the very easy layout. It makes talking with my friends—and making new friends—so easy. Its phone contact-syncing capabilities are very useful. I also love how many GIFs and sticker sets can be found, and how you can even add your own stickers and GIFs to the Telegram vault. Connection is also rarely lost and chats load fairly quick.\n\nHowever, the one thing that takes me out of the messenger “magic” is how after the last couple of updates, every time I spend more than five minutes in another app (while leaving Telegram open), the chat screen seems to be blank (still shows the circle outlines of people’s icons, and the message bubbles, but all are completely blank) when I switch back to Telegram. This is not a problem for me, as the chat and images immediately load back in when I start using Telegram again, but it’s just a bit strange to me. Maybe a very very small glitch.\n\nOther than the above “however”, EVERYTHING about this app is absolutely fantastic. I would recommend using it! 5 stars for sure.  :)",
