Appstr for Indies managing lots of apps

I have 11 apps in the Apple App store and 3 in Google Play store. Every time I submit a new app, I have to provide a privacy policy, a support URL, and some sort of product description page. Even more challenging, I had to keep track or customer reviews and submitted feedback because in the very early days of app launches, those first few reviews are the most critical and carry the most weight. So I built Appstr just as mini platform to quickly auto-generate multiple privacy policies (based on the app-specific data collection), host feedback forms to capture user suggestions and support issues, and a monitor to keep tabs on the reviews as they come in. It also sends me daily and weekly summary updates across all of my apps and also automatically groups the feedback and complaints so that I can prioritize the fixes and new features. I have made Appstr available to everyone because this seems like a pretty common problem that many app developers should be facing. While this could be done by stringing a lot of other solutions together (like Zendesk) the cost adds up really fast and blows past most Indie developer budgets. Since early reviews matter, I'm turning to HN for brutally honest feedback.
