Google Play Reviews Scraper

Download all reviews of any Android app from Google Play: star rating, review text, date, app version, likes and the developer's reply. Choose the country, the language and the sort order, filter by date, and get app details (overall score, ratings histogram, installs, developer contact) in the same run.

Give it package names like com.whatsapp or Google Play URLs and get a clean dataset you can analyze in Excel, feed to a sentiment model or stream into your product dashboard.

What can you do with it?

• Review monitoring: schedule the Actor daily with reviewedAfter and get only the new reviews of your app, pushed to Slack, email, Google Sheets or Zendesk.
• Sentiment and topic analysis: thousands of reviews with ratings and app versions, ready for an LLM or a classifier. Find out what broke in the last release.
• Competitor research: compare complaints and praise across competing apps and countries.
• ASO and product research: see which features users ask for most before you build them.
• Customer support: never miss a 1-star review again, and track whether the developer replies.
• Market research datasets: histograms, install ranges and scores for any list of apps.

Features

• Any app, any country (us, gb, de, it, in, br...), any language.
• Sort by newest, most helpful or rating.
• reviewedAfter date filter stops pagination at the first older review, so incremental runs are cheap.
• Developer replies (replyText, replyDate), likes (thumbsUp), app version, criteria ratings.
• One app record per app with title, developer, email and website, genre, score, ratings and reviews counts, histogram (1–5 stars), installs, price, latest version and update date.
• Apps that don't exist in the chosen country return an error record instead of failing the run.
• No browser, no proxy: fast and inexpensive.

Pricing

You pay per review returned, plus a small amount per app details record. No platform usage fees are added on top. Use maxReviewsPerApp and reviewedAfter to control the cost precisely.

Tips

• Reviews are language and country specific. Run the Actor once per market you care about (for example country: "de", language: "de").
• For a complete history, use sort: "newest" and a large maxReviewsPerApp. Google Play serves reviews in batches of 150, so 10,000 reviews take about a minute.
• Pipe the dataset into the Apify integrations (Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier, n8n) or call the Actor from your code with the Apify API or the MCP server.

Limitations

• Google Play only exposes reviews in the selected language; the total number of accessible reviews can be lower than the number shown on the store page.
• Review order for newest follows Google's own ranking and can be off by a few minutes.

Legal and fair use

The Actor reads public Google Play pages. Store and process reviewer data in line with Google's terms and privacy laws such as GDPR.
