Checks iTunes for all international reviews of a podcast. Your iTunes reviews are displayed in the backend menu, and optionally on the front end of your site using the [iprm] shortcode. iTunes is automatically checked for new podcast reviews every 4 hours. Note: sometimes in iTunes, the review feeds for certain countries are unreachable, and you will need to wait for the next automatic check or click the button to check manually.

We’re working on a new service for checking your international podcast reviews. It will include features like email notifications, charts, filtering, multiple podcasts, and more. For more information and to find out when we launch, please go to ReviewRanger.com.
