App Store Connect in your Plash dashboard

Plash connects to App Store Connect and shows its numbers next to your other app tools, starting with public rating and rating count. Connect it once, link it to any app, and get alerts when something changes.

What you see from App Store Connect

  • Public rating and rating count
  • Live and latest version, builds and TestFlight testers
  • Customer reviews (28 days)
  • With a vendor number: downloads, updates, re-downloads and in-app purchases per day

What Plash reads

Versions and phased releases, TestFlight builds and testers, customer reviews, the public rating, and, with a vendor number, daily downloads, in-app purchases and proceeds. Plash never submits or changes anything.

  • Avoid Admin keys: Plash only reads. If a section is missing, the overview says which role it needs.
  • Revoking the key in App Store Connect immediately cuts Plash’s access.
