Scrape App Store and Google Play reviews in one run and one fixed JSON format: every review you ask for (no hidden cap), the right app and country in every row, rating, text, date, version, developer reply. Monitor mode outputs only new reviews and alerts you on negative ones.
All notable changes to App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper (cleanyield/app-store-google-play-reviews).
The output is versioned with schemaVersion in every item. Fields are only ever added; nothing is renamed or removed.
1.1.0 — 2026-11-04 (output schema 2)
Added (output, all new fields; old fields unchanged):
device — Google Play device of the review (phone, tablet, chromebook, watch, tv, car); null on App Store.
criteriaRatings — the reviewer's answers to Google Play's extra questions (ads, battery, multiplayer…), with a readable label.
authorImageUrl — Google Play profile picture, only when omitAuthorNames is off.
Pro mode fields (null without Pro): topics, priorityScore (0–100), insight (AI), suggestedReply (AI, 1–3★), appDetails (developer, developer website, category, store rating, reputation score 0–100, rating trend).
Added (input):
devices (Google Play tablet, Chromebook, watch, TV and car reviews), keywords, appVersions, reviewsUntil, maxTotalReviews.
proMode (one checkbox for all extras; also turns on the alerts and competitor comparison).
outputFormat: "leader-compatible" and the input fields of other popular review scrapers (appIds, startUrls, appIdOrUrl, country, language, maxItems, sort, ratingFilter, recentDays, endDate, appVersion, deviceType).
savedListName / saveList: remember your list of apps between runs.
sortBy: "rating" (highest stars first, Google Play).
A dashboard page (DASHBOARD) in every run, and the cost estimate in the log before the run starts.
Fixed:
sortBy: "mostHelpful" on Google Play returned 5★ reviews first instead of the most-voted ones (measured: 20 of 20 were 5★). It now uses Google's "Most relevant" order, which puts the most-voted reviews first.
A page that comes back with a broken body (HTTP 200 but not the expected JSON) is requested once more before the stream is marked as partial.
Error and log messages are now in English.
Inputs written for other scrapers are no longer overridden by our defaults (defaults are applied by the Actor, not by the input form).
Quality: fixed test set grown from 51 to 59 real inputs (tablet, Chromebook, phone + tablet, keywords, app version, most helpful, date range).
1.0.0 — 2026-11-04 (output schema 1)
First release:
App Store (per country storefront) and Google Play (per language) reviews in one schema: reviewId, store, appId, appName, country, language, rating, title, text, date, appVersion, authorName (off by default), developerReply, thumbsUp, isNegative, url, changeType, scrapedAt, schemaVersion.
Input by store URL, App Store id, Android package name or appstore:<bundle id>; star filter, reviewsSince, sortBy newest / most helpful; up to 500 apps per run.
Monitor mode: only new and author-edited reviews since the last run, Slack / webhook alerts with negative reviews first, per-app check fee.
Actionable alerts and competitor comparison (REPORT / REPORT_MD).
Pay per valid result only; incomplete reviews are never stored or charged; respects the maximum cost per run.
Fixed test set of 51 real inputs: 100% successful runs, 100% complete, 100% key fields correct.
