In such a scenario, the full retail price of the app is refunded and the associated app review rating and text are removed from the App Store page/profile (as the user no longer owns it). Why would a review disappear?Īs a developer, I have little to no control over the reviews users send through the Mac App Store (aside from reporting one as inappropriate or spam) so when a review disappears, that means the user had requested a refund for Colibri and it got approved. For anyone wondering, I’ve used the ty-yqs/App-Store-Connect-API open source PHP project as a starting point. I’ve written a small app that retrieves all the data and produces a list such as this – might make it public at a later point in time as I couldn’t find an app that does exactly this. Yes, the data was pulled straight from the Mac App Store using the publicly available App Store Connect API. This also allows me to use this cheesy catchphrase:Ĭolibri for Mac – even the reviews are lossless! Is it legit?

So for the sake of completeness and transparency, here are all the reviews available from my Apple Developer Account in an uncurated, unedited form as of the date of generation seen at the very bottom of the list, ordered by submission date, new to old. When you visit the Mac App Store for Colibri, most of the time you will only see reviews (and my responses) from the country that matches your Apple ID – which is nice, but depending on your territory, you might not even see any reviews at all (or just a few recent ones). Colibri Reviews – straight from the Mac App Store Why?
