# Spot review complaint spikes for any app

**Use case:** 

A competitor's app just started getting review-bombed over the same bug - and their users are in the comments asking for alternatives. This example scans any App Store app's public reviews and flags which complaints just started spiking versus its own baseline. No LLM, no API key. Swap in the app IDs you want to watch.

## Input

```json
{
  "app_ids": [
    "284882215"
  ],
  "country": "us",
  "max_pages": 10,
  "max_rating": 2,
  "min_mentions_current": 3,
  "recent_window_days": 7,
  "min_spike_ratio": 2,
  "max_results": 100,
  "request_timeout_secs": 30
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "app_id": {
    "label": "App ID"
  },
  "keyword": {
    "label": "Keyword"
  },
  "recent_version": {
    "label": "Version (recent)"
  },
  "mentions_recent": {
    "label": "Mentions (recent)"
  },
  "negative_reviews_recent": {
    "label": "Negative Reviews (recent)"
  },
  "mentions_prior": {
    "label": "Mentions (prior)"
  },
  "negative_reviews_prior": {
    "label": "Negative Reviews (prior)"
  },
  "spike_ratio": {
    "label": "Spike x"
  },
  "example_review": {
    "label": "Example Review"
  }
}
```

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Pain Point Finder — App Store Review Spike Detector](https://apify.com/0xgollum/pain-point-finder.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/0xgollum/pain-point-finder.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
