## Changelog

### 1.2.0 - 2026-09-13

- Added four optional input filters, all off by default and free to use: `keywords` (substring match on review text), `recent_days` / `start_date` (date window), `app_versions` (allow-list on the reviewed app version), and `scores` (multi-value star-rating filter alongside the existing single-value `score`).
- Filters run after fetching and before the dataset push, so `max_items` caps and bills only the rows that pass the filters, never the ones dropped by them.
- When `scores` is set, the single-value upstream rating filter is skipped in favor of post-fetch filtering across the requested ratings; a lone `score` keeps its exact existing server-side-filtered behavior.
- When sorting by `newest` with a date filter set, paging now stops as soon as a review falls outside the window instead of scanning the app's full review history.
- No existing field, default, or behavior changed for callers who do not set any of the new inputs.

### 1.1.0 - 2026-09-12

- Added 40 dataset fields, taking each record from 14 to 54 columns. No existing field was renamed, retyped, or removed.

- Added per-review columns recovered from the upstream payload: review headline, Google's quality and feature topic tags, reviewer account ID, direct review URL, and a developer-reply flag.

- Added 34 app-context columns: name, summary, icon, store URL, developer identity and contact details, category, overall rating, one-to-five star rating breakdown, installs, price, in-app purchase range, content rating, release date, and last update.

- Added the `include_app_details` input (default on). App details cost one request per app, not per review.

- Added strict, source-specific input metadata.

- Added machine-readable titles, descriptions, types, and examples for every dataset field.

- Added bounded default input for Apify Store and agent testing.

- Added canonical Store SEO metadata and example input.
