Google Play Review Tracker: Never Miss a Review

Track what Android users say about your app, or anyone else's. Pull every review with its rating, version and developer reply, then run it again tomorrow and get only what is new.

Built for product teams, support leads and app marketers who need to see a one star review the day it lands, not at the end of the sprint.

How it works

flowchart LR
    A["Package ids<br/>com.spotify.music"] --> B["Google Play"]
    C["Country stores<br/>us, gb, de"] --> B
    B --> D["App details<br/>name, average, total ratings"]
    B --> E["Reviews, paged"]
    E --> F{"Filters<br/>rating, keyword, date"}
    F --> G{"Seen before?"}
    G -->|no| H[("New review rows")]
    G -->|yes| I["Skipped"]

Every app is checked in every country you list, so one run can cover a global launch.

Built for

• Product teams watching complaints against the version that just shipped
• Support leads catching refund and crash reports before they pile up
• App marketers tracking rating trends through a campaign
• Competitor research reading what users dislike about a rival app

Input

{
  "apps": ["com.spotify.music", "com.netflix.mediaclient"],
  "countries": ["us", "gb"],
  "maxReviewsPerApp": 200,
  "sortBy": "newest",
  "onlyNewReviews": true
}

Output

{
  "reviewId": "124ee18b-bcd3-4922-a8bf-77803129e901",
  "appId": "com.spotify.music",
  "appName": "Spotify: Music and Podcasts",
  "developer": "Spotify AB",
  "country": "us",
  "author": "Rohit Kumar",
  "rating": 5,
  "text": "best all songs listening",
  "thumbsUp": 0,
  "appVersion": "9.1.78.2218",
  "reviewedAt": "2026-09-03T08:06:18.000Z",
  "developerReply": null,
  "appAverageRating": 4.34,
  "appRatingCount": 36240018,
  "playStoreUrl": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.music&gl=us"
}

appVersion is the field most teams miss. Filter on it and you can see whether a release made ratings better or worse.

Watch complaints only

{
  "apps": ["com.your.app"],
  "countries": ["us", "gb", "de"],
  "minRating": 1,
  "maxRating": 2,
  "onlyNewReviews": true
}

Schedule that daily and each run returns the new one and two star reviews across all three stores, and nothing else.

Run it as an API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/arched_friend~google-play-review-tracker/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "apps": ["com.spotify.music"],
    "countries": ["us"],
    "maxReviewsPerApp": 50,
    "searchQuery": "crash"
  }'

Pricing

You pay $0.02 for each app and country pair checked, whatever the review count. Checking one app in three countries is three checks.

Watching 5 apps in 3 countries daily	Monthly cost
Reading the stores by hand	roughly 15 hours
App review monitoring suites	$50 to $300 per month
This Actor	$9 per month

Common questions

Why does the same app show different reviews per country? Because Google serves a different review pool per store. That is why country is its own field on every row.

Does it catch developer replies? Yes. developerReply and developerRepliedAt are filled in when the developer has answered, so you can spot reviews still waiting on a response.

How does it know what is new? It remembers every review id it has returned and compares the next run against that list, so scheduled runs stay short.
