This mini-script was created for testing the great Pythonista iOS app (http://clk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=23753&a=1901746&partnerId=2003&url=https://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/pythonista/id528579881?mt=8&uo=4). It's a quick and dirty AppStore review grabing script to use from the app. Note that country is hardcoded. It's based on Apple official RS…
