App Store Reviews Scraper - iOS App Reviews & Ratings

What is App Store Reviews Scraper?

App Store Reviews Scraper lets you extract customer reviews from the Apple App Store for any iPhone, iPad or Mac app, with the star rating, review title, full text, date, reviewer name and the developer's response, helping you track what users say about your app and your competitors, catch bugs and feature requests early, and feed real customer language into product, support and marketing work.

• 📈 Go past Apple's 500-review limit: Apple's public RSS feed stops at 500 reviews per app. This scraper reads the same review list the App Store website uses and keeps paging, so a popular app gives you tens of thousands of reviews, and a small app gives you its full history back to its first review.
• 😠 Pull complaints first: sort by "Most critical" and the App Store returns 1-star reviews first, so a bug hunt or a churn study does not page through praise to find them.
• 📅 Monitor new reviews on a schedule: set "Only reviews since" to 7d and a weekly run collects exactly last week's reviews, no more.
• 🌍 Every country's store in one run: Apple keeps reviews separately per storefront. List us, gb, de, jp and get each market's reviews side by side, tagged by country.
• 🆚 Benchmark competitors: add every app in your category and every row carries the app's name, developer, genre, overall rating and full 1 to 5 star rating breakdown.
• 💬 See how developers answer: every developer response comes with its text and date, so you can measure response rate and tone.

Apple has no public reviews API for apps you do not own. App Store Reviews Scraper works with no login, no cookies, no Apple ID and no App Store Connect key, and it runs on cheap datacenter proxies, which is why it costs $0.07 per 1,000 reviews.

How to use App Store Reviews Scraper

1. Click Try for free and open the Input tab.
2. Paste one or more apps. The App Store link works, for example https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-music-and-podcasts/id324684580, and so does the numeric ID 324684580.
3. Pick the countries, how many reviews per app, the sort order and, if you like, a date cutoff.
4. Click Start. Reviews appear in the Output tab as they are collected.
5. Download them as Excel, CSV, JSON or HTML, or read them through the Apify API.

apps	App Store links or numeric app IDs. Required.	Spotify
countries	Two-letter storefront codes, for example us, gb, de. Each app is scraped once per country.	us

Example input for last month's reviews of three competing apps in the US and UK:

{
    "apps": ["324684580", "1108187390", "1017492454"],
    "countries": ["us", "gb"],
    "reviewsSince": "30d",
    "maxReviewsPerApp": 0
}

Output

One row per review. A trimmed example:

{
    "appId": "324684580",
    "appName": "Spotify: Music and Podcasts",
    "appDeveloper": "Spotify",
    "appBundleId": "com.spotify.client",
    "appGenre": "Music",
    "appVersion": "9.1.88",
    "appRating": 4.8,
    "appRatingCount": 42394544,
    "appRatingHistogram": {"1": 926790, "2": 366275, "3": 939397, "4": 2971414, "5": 37190668},
    "country": "us",
    "reviewId": "14617330566",
    "rating": 1,
    "title": "Glitches",
    "text": "What is up with all of the glitches and lagging lately?? And playlists not loading/updating?",
    "userName": "gilmorepal",
    "reviewedAt": "2026-10-02T03:19:14Z",
    "isEdited": true,
    "hasDeveloperResponse": true,
    "developerResponse": "Hi. Thanks for sharing your experience. We suggest clean reinstalling the app...",
    "developerResponseAt": "2026-08-24T17:34:54Z",
    "sort": "recent",
    "position": 39
}

The Output tab has three ready-made views: Reviews (the main table), Developer responses (review next to response, with both dates) and App context (the app each review belongs to, with its rating summary).

If an app cannot return anything, for example a mistyped ID, an app not sold in that country, or a date range with no reviews, the run still succeeds and writes one row with noResults: true and a plain English message explaining why, so a scheduled pipeline never breaks on an empty answer.

How much does it cost to scrape App Store reviews?

$0.07 per 1,000 reviews, flat, plus $0.00005 per run start. No monthly rental, no tiers.

Reviews	Cost
1,000	$0.07
10,000	$0.70
100,000	$7.00
1,000,000	$70.00

Apify's free plan includes monthly credit, which covers tens of thousands of reviews at this price. Use maxItems as a hard spending cap.

Measured performance

Measured on 2026-10-03 through the default Apify datacenter proxy, across 15 test inputs:

• 100 Spotify reviews in 4.5 seconds, 1,500 in 49 seconds, with zero duplicates.
• A 2008 app returned its complete history, 102 reviews from July 2008 to April 2026, with the run ending cleanly at the last review.
• 100% of review rows carry review ID, rating, title, text, date, reviewer name and every app context field, including the star breakdown.
• About 2% of Spotify's newest reviews had a developer response, and 2% were edited. Those are Apple's numbers, not gaps.

Limits

• Reviews are kept per country. An app's US reviews and German reviews are different lists, so add every storefront you care about.
• The App Store shows reviews with written text. Star-only ratings are counted in appRatingCount and appRatingHistogram but have no row of their own.
• "Most critical" and "Most favorable" order the list by rating; they are a sort, not a strict filter, so once an app runs out of 1-star (or 5-star) reviews, other ratings follow.
• The newest reviews can take several hours to appear on Apple's public list.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape App Store reviews?

The scraper only collects reviews that Apple publishes openly to anyone, with no login. Reviews include public nicknames, and personal data is protected by laws such as GDPR in the EU, so only collect what you have a legitimate reason to process, and ask a lawyer if you are unsure. Read Apify's post on the legality of web scraping for more.

How much does App Store Reviews Scraper cost?

$0.07 per 1,000 reviews plus $0.00005 per run. A 10,000 review competitor study costs about 70 cents.

Do I need an Apple ID, cookies or an App Store Connect API key?

No. It works without logging in. App Store Connect only covers apps you publish yourself; this works for any app.

Can I get more than 500 reviews per app?

Yes. Apple's RSS feed, which most free tools use, stops at 500 reviews per app and country. This scraper uses the App Store website's own review list, which goes much deeper. Set maxReviewsPerApp to 0 to take everything.

How do I find an app's ID?

Open the app on apps.apple.com. The number after id in the link is the ID: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-music-and-podcasts/id324684580 is 324684580. You can also paste the whole link.

How do I monitor new reviews every day?

Save a task with reviewsSince set to 1d and schedule it daily in Apify. Each run collects only the previous day's reviews, and an integration can post them to Slack, a Google Sheet or your support tool.

Can I only get negative reviews?

Set sort to critical. Apple returns 1-star reviews first, so a capped run gets complaints, not praise.

Can I use App Store Reviews Scraper as an API?

Yes. Every run is available through the Apify API, and there are official clients for JavaScript and Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("cirkit/app-store-reviews-scraper").call(
    run_input={"apps": ["324684580"], "countries": ["us"], "maxReviewsPerApp": 500}
)
for review in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(review["rating"], review["title"], review["text"])

Can I integrate it with other apps?

Yes, through Apify integrations with Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, Google Drive, Slack, Airbyte, webhooks and more.

Why did I get fewer reviews than I asked for?

Either the app has fewer written reviews in that country, or your date cutoff removed the rest. The run log says how many reviews each app and country returned. Try the app's home country if a storefront looks empty.

Does it scrape Google Play reviews?

No, this actor covers the Apple App Store. Use Google Play Reviews Scraper for Android apps.
