App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper

Scrape app reviews from the Apple App Store and Google Play in one run, with one unified output format. Paste app URLs, IDs or package names, or just type app names and the actor finds the apps for you. Filter by star rating, date and keyword, scrape several countries at once, and get an app summary row with the overall rating, ratings count, installs, the rating distribution of the scraped reviews, and the top complaint keywords.

No login, no API key and no developer account needed. $0.40 per 1,000 reviews.

What can you use it for?

• Competitor research: find out what users hate about competing apps. Filter to 1–2 stars and read the topKeywordsNegative summary.
• Product feedback and bug monitoring: run daily with Newest first and last 1 day to catch crash, login and payment complaints after a release.
• Review sentiment analysis and AI training data: clean JSON, CSV or Excel output with the rating, text, date, app version and language.
• App Store Optimization (ASO): see which features users mention most in 5-star reviews.
• Agencies and VCs: compare iOS and Android sentiment for any app side by side.

Each review is one row (type: "review"):

{
  "type": "review",
  "store": "appstore",
  "appId": "324684580",
  "appTitle": "Spotify: Music and Podcasts",
  "country": "us",
  "reviewId": "14743796788",
  "rating": 1,
  "title": "(review title)",
  "text": "(review text)",
  "userName": "(reviewer nickname)",

}

Google Play rows also include thumbsUp (helpful votes), developerReply and developerReplyDate, and language.

Each app and country also gets one summary row (type: "app"):

{
  "type": "app",
  "store": "googleplay",
  "appId": "com.duolingo",
  "title": "Duolingo: Learn Languages",
  "developer": "Duolingo",
  "rating": 4.75,
  "ratingsCount": 31000000,
  "installs": "500,000,000+",
  "version": "6.x",
  "scrapedReviews": 1000,
  "scrapedAvgRating": 1.28,
  "scrapedRatingDistribution": {"1": 761, "2": 291, "3": 0, "4": 0, "5": 0},
  "topKeywordsNegative": [{"word": "streak", "reviews": 96}, {"word": "lesson", "reviews": 109}],
  "topKeywordsPositive": []
}

If an app can't be found, you get a free type: "error" row and the run continues.

You can download results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or use the API, Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets integrations. The Reviews and Apps & summary tabs show tables.

Pricing (pay per event)

• $0.0004 per review, which is $0.40 per 1,000 reviews
• $0.002 per app summary row
• Reviews removed by your filters are free.
• Set a maximum cost per run in the console; the actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

Example: 1,000 one- and two-star reviews for 2 apps on 2 stores cost about $0.41.

Limits and tips

• Apple returns at most about 500 public reviews per sort order per country. Use sort: both and several countries to collect more.
• Google Play reviews are global per language, so they are scraped once per app, not once per country. Use language to change the review language.
• For monitoring, schedule the actor daily with sort: newest and postedWithinDays: 1.
