App Store Reviews Scraper & API

App Store Reviews Scraper is an Apify Actor that extracts reviews for any app on Apple's App Store. Each review comes with its star rating, title, text, date, author and the developer's reply. It covers any country, goes past the 500-review limit of Apple's public review feed (tens of thousands of reviews per app), and costs $0.08 per 1,000 reviews.

It works as an App Store reviews API:

• call it from code
• schedule it to monitor new reviews
• let AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) use it through Apify's MCP server

Quick facts

• What you get, one row per review:
  • stars, title, review text, date, the reviewer's public name
  • whether the review was edited
  • the developer's reply and its date
  • app name, developer, overall rating, number of ratings and App Store URL
• Any app, any country: paste App Store URLs, numeric App IDs (324684580) or just app names (Spotify), and list the storefronts you want (us, gb, de, jp, …).
• More than 500 reviews: most App Store review scrapers read Apple's public review feed, which stops at the newest 500 reviews per country. This Actor reads the review API behind apps.apple.com and pages back tens of thousands of reviews for popular apps.
• Newest or most helpful first, plus star filters such as "1 and 2 stars only" for complaints.
• Only new reviews: scheduled runs return just the reviews you haven't seen. Repeats aren't charged.
• Price: $0.08 per 1,000 reviews (less on paid Apify plans). Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers over 60,000 reviews.
• Also reads Google Play apps when you give a Google Play URL or package name.
• AI agents: connect https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automationnation/app-store-reviews-scraper.

What can you do with App Store reviews?

• Product and engineering teams. See what users complain about after each release: filter 1 and 2 stars and read the newest first.
• App store optimisation (ASO). Find the words users use, the features they ask for and how ratings move in each country.
• Competitor research. Pull reviews of rival apps and compare what people praise and hate.
• Customer support. See which reviews got a developer reply, how fast, and what was said.
• AI and analytics. Feed clean review data into sentiment analysis, topic modelling or an LLM. For a ready-made AI report of bugs, feature requests and critical issues, see App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper + AI.

The Run summary (key-value store OUTPUT) lists each app and country with its review count and average rating.

How much does it cost?

$0.08 per 1,000 reviews on Apify's Free plan, and less on paid plans. Apps that can't be found and reviews already returned by earlier runs (Only new reviews) are free. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers over 60,000 reviews.

Review monitoring: Only new reviews

Tick Only new reviews and schedule the Actor, for example daily. Each run returns only the reviews that earlier runs with the same app, country and sort didn't return, and stops paging as soon as it reaches reviews it has seen. Add a Slack, email or webhook integration to get new 1-star reviews as they arrive.

Use it with AI agents (MCP)

Hosted: add https://mcp.apify.com?tools=automationnation/app-store-reviews-scraper to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another MCP client, and sign in with Apify.

Local (Claude Desktop or Cursor config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "app-store-reviews": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@apify/actors-mcp-server", "--tools", "automationnation/app-store-reviews-scraper"],
      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Then ask, for example, "What do UK users complain about in Duolingo's App Store reviews this month?"

FAQ

How many reviews can I get? Tens of thousands per app and country for popular apps. The Actor pages back through Apple's review API until it reaches your limit or the oldest review.

Why do other scrapers stop at 500 reviews? Apple's public RSS review feed only returns the newest 500 reviews per country (10 pages of 50). This Actor uses the review API that apps.apple.com itself uses, and keeps the feed as a fallback.

Can I get reviews from several countries? Yes. List the storefronts in countries; each app is read once per country, and country is on every row.

Does it include the developer's replies? Yes, replyText and replyDate whenever the developer replied.

Can I get Google Play reviews too? Yes, paste Google Play URLs or package names. There is also a dedicated Google Play Reviews Scraper.

Is it legal to scrape App Store reviews? Reviews are public, but they include reviewers' display names. Use the data for analysis and follow the privacy laws that apply to you, such as GDPR.
