(my last post was deleted as it was not-programming related; I'm rephrasing it in a more coding-centric way).

I'm trying to develop a review monitoring system for several iphone apps I've developed, for instance to email me with the contents of a review when one comes in. (Right now, without an iphone, I can't even view reviews.) I was hoping there was some online browser for the app store (like cyrket for android), but I am unsure if this exists (I can't find any definitive answer via searching).

Is there any online browser that can be scraped? Or is there at least some API I can use to view app reviews? Or will it come down to sniffing packets and reverse engineering the app store protocol?

Try this site.

This post outlines building such a "scraper" using curl. It also gathers international reviews, which is difficult to do just using iTunes:
