Google Play: see reviews from other countries

A problem I had with the Android app we work on: how to check what users from other countries are saying about it? More precisely: how to check what users from other countries see when they go to Google Play?

Google Play shows scores (the stars) from all countries, but not all reviews.

An undocumented (to my knowledge) trick is to force Google Play to use a specific language.

For example, click here to check out what Portuguese speakers see when they go to the Angry Birds app.

The trick is to specify the language in the URL: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rovio.angrybirds&hl=pt.

Angry Birds in a few more languages:



Google Play uses the standard language codes from ISO 639-2.

What about the Apple Store?

Other than logging in to the developer account, I couldn't find an easy to see what users from other countries are saying.

It is not exactly what they see they are looking at the app from another country, but the information is there.

If you know of a way to see what other countries see, please let me know.
