For your use case, I’d start by evaluating Appbot and AppFollow. Both are purpose-built for app store review analysis, rather than generic AI sentiment tools. They can organize feedback into themes, analyze sentiment, and help surface bugs and feature requests that are becoming more common.

The key capability to look for is emerging-issue detection: not just reporting the most common complaints, but identifying when a previously uncommon problem suddenly starts appearing after a release.

My top recommendations

1. Appbot

(Best overall fit)

Appbot automatically groups reviews into topics such as bugs, performance, design, and UX. It tracks sentiment and topic trends, supports custom categories for your own product features, and lets you ask questions about your reviews in natural language. It also supports alerts and integrations with tools such as Slack and Jira.

Why it fits: A straightforward way to turn thousands of reviews into recurring issues, feature requests, and trends over time.

Website:

2. AppFollow

(Best for trend comparisons)

AppFollow offers AI summaries, semantic categorization, and comparisons between time periods. Its semantic analysis can categorize feedback into bugs and user feedback, while its AI tooling can produce reports with ranked issues, feature requests, sentiment trends, and anomaly callouts. Some semantic-analysis capabilities are paid add-ons.

Why it fits: Especially worth testing if you want to compare feedback before and after releases and investigate emerging problems.

3. A custom AI review-analysis pipeline

Best for specialized workflows

If you need custom bug detection or integration with your engineering systems, you can combine App Store and Google Play review ingestion, an LLM for categorization, and a database for trend tracking.

Why it fits: You can define your own taxonomy, link similar reports to existing issues, flag unusual spikes, and create tickets in Jira or Linear. It offers more control but requires engineering effort and ongoing maintenance.

What I would test in a pilot

Capability	What to verify
Topic clustering	Groups similar complaints even when users describe them differently
New bug detection	Flags sudden increases in reports of crashes, login failures, or payment problems
Feature requests	Separates requests for new functionality from bug reports and general complaints
Release correlation	Shows whether a topic increased after a particular app version shipped
Workflow integration	Sends important issues to Slack, Jira, or Linear with example reviews

Pricing to help narrow it down

Appbot: Starts at $49/month with annual billing, or $59/month billed monthly, and offers a 14-day trial. Advanced AI querying and MCP integrations are on higher-tier plans.
AppFollow: Has a free plan for basic monitoring, but advanced semantic analysis and anomaly detection depend on the subscription or add-ons.

My recommendation is to trial Appbot first, then compare it with AppFollow if detecting changes over time and automated escalation are especially important. During the trial, test both against reviews from a known buggy release so you can measure whether they identify real issues rather than just summarize complaints.

One question that would help me refine the recommendation: How do you want to use the results?

1. Which app stores do you use?

Apple App Store only

Google Play only

Both iOS and Android

2. What should happen when a new issue is detected?

Dashboard and weekly reports

Alerts and tickets in Slack, Jira, or Linear

An AI-generated product feedback report and prioritized roadmap suggestions

All of the above

3. Roughly how many reviews do you receive?

Fewer than 500 per month

Hundreds to thousands per month

Tens of thousands or more per month

Yes. If your requirement is specifically privacy-centric attribution after Apple’s IDFA changes, I’d shortlist AppsFlyer, Adjust, and Singular, with Singular standing out if privacy-by-design is the primary criterion.

MMP	Post-IDFA / SKAN	Privacy posture	Best fit
Singular	Strong SKAdNetwork + AdAttributionKit support	Explicitly avoids fingerprinting/device graphs for SKAN	Privacy-first measurement
AppsFlyer	Very mature SKAN/AAK + modeled attribution	Strong controls for IDFA/IDFV, IP masking, anonymization, post-install de-identification	Broad enterprise MMP
Adjust	Strong SKAN + evolving AdAttributionKit	Apple-native aggregated attribution without device-level SKAN data	Enterprise attribution + analytics
Branch	Strong SKAN + predictive aggregate measurement	Aggregation/anonymization emphasis	Deep linking + attribution

My recommendation

1. Singular — strongest privacy-first candidate

Singular explicitly positions its SKAdNetwork product around not using fingerprinting or device graphs, while still providing modeled measurement to fill gaps in Apple's privacy-preserving data.

It supports SKAN alongside traditional attribution, and its documentation confirms support for Apple's AdAttributionKit (AAK) as well.

A particularly useful feature is that you can send SKAN/AAK postback copies directly to Singular and export the data to your own warehouse.

Singular — mobile attribution

2. AppsFlyer — strongest all-around enterprise choice

AppsFlyer has a very mature privacy architecture. It supports SKAN without IDFA/ATT, probabilistic modeling that is explicitly designed to produce aggregate campaign-level results rather than identify individual devices, and multiple privacy controls.

Its privacy controls include device-ID opt-out, IP masking, anonymization, data-sharing controls, and post-install de-identification.

It also supports direct SKAN/AdAttributionKit postback copies, which is valuable if you want an independent measurement layer rather than relying solely on ad-network reporting.

AppsFlyer — mobile attribution

3. Adjust — strong traditional MMP with privacy-native Apple measurement

Adjust's SKAN implementation is genuinely privacy-centric: Apple performs the attribution, and no device-level data is recorded or shared through SKAN. Adjust aggregates the resulting postbacks from networks.

Adjust is also actively tracking AdAttributionKit developments, including newer re-engagement and attribution capabilities.

Adjust

One important distinction

"Post-IDFA attribution" can mean two rather different things:

Apple-native attribution: SKAdNetwork / AdAttributionKit — strongest privacy guarantees, but inherently aggregated and delayed.
MMP modeling: probabilistic/aggregate modeling to recover some measurement lost when IDFA isn't available.
Consent-based deterministic attribution: IDFA can still be used where the user grants ATT permission.
Fingerprinting/device graphs: I would exclude these if privacy is a core requirement.

For example, AppsFlyer says its probabilistic modeling does not use unique IDs and produces aggregate campaign reporting, while Singular explicitly says its SKAN solution avoids fingerprinting and device graphs.

If you tell me your use case (e.g. consumer app, gaming, fintech, subscription app, or ad-tech platform), I can narrow this to 2–3 MMPs and compare pricing, privacy architecture, SKAN/AAK capabilities, incrementality, data clean rooms, and integrations with Meta/Google/TikTok.
