Yup, for the time being you can use Andlytics: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.github.andlyticsproject&hl=en

It's not material and it's a little clunky but it works. Obviously it doesn;t support most things but for reading/replying to reviews or checking out basic statistics and changes etc. then it works well.

You mean Andlytics, that free app that the developer has open-sourced and been working on for 4 years? It works fine, I don't know what you're talking about.
The language usually includes the country (en/US). This doesn't show up on the web interface, but some apps such as Andlytics can see it.
I use andlytics, it just pulls from the Google Play Developer Console but presents it in a more useful manner than anything you will find made by google.
We usually don't get notified, but new reviews appear on the top of the list on the console, so they are easy to spot. When a user changes a review, it also gets bumped to the top.
When a dev replies to a user, the user is notified via email. If the user changes their review based on the reply, then the dev also receives an email.
I'm sure many devs would love to receive an email for each review, but the Google Play console does not allow that, so we use apps such as Andlytics to monitor new reviews instead.
There's a nice app called <strong>Andlytics</strong> that you can use to monitor your Dev Console stats. In the settings you can set to receive notifications for things like comments/ratings changes.
I think it works by scraping the Dev Console page, because AFAIK Google doesn't have an API for that info. But the developer is quick to update the app if it breaks.
This is one of the reasons I am still using Andlytics.
