How these pages are made

For each category we picked 5 popular apps from a US App Store search and read up to 60 of each app's most recent reviews from Apple's public feed. A script counts the phrases happy and unhappy reviewers repeat; the moments, hooks and formats are drafted with AI from those reviews and checked by me. No reviewer is named, and no app is named.

The same idea works best on your own reviews: the free hook generator reads your App Store link and writes hooks from your 4 and 5★ reviews. Background: how to turn reviews into posts and Instagram marketing for indie apps.
