## Changelog

### 0.2 (2026-09-29)

- New mode `developer`: the apps on a developer's Google Play page, from the developer's name, numeric ID or page link (`developerIds`), each with its position.
- New mode `similar`: the apps Google Play lists as similar to each app in `appIds` (up to about 50 per app), each with its position.
- New mode `topCharts`: top free, top paid or top grossing apps (`chartCollection`) for all apps, all games or a category (`chartCategory`), up to about 200 per country.
- App details now include the rating histogram, what's new (`recentChanges`), screenshots, header image, promo video, all categories and tags, content rating descriptors, privacy policy link, numeric developer ID and developer page link, permissions, the data safety summary and the top-chart badge.
- Reviews: date range (`reviewsSince`, `reviewsUntil`, also as "7 days"), several ratings (`reviewScores`), keywords, app version, replies only, minimum helpful votes and minimum length. Reviews left out are not charged; with newest-first order, a start date stops the paging early.
- Reviews now carry the extra ratings some reviewers give (`criteria`), and optionally the app's title, rating and histogram (`includeAppInfo`).
- Several countries and languages in one run (`countries`, `languages`). Reviews run once per language, since the country does not change them.
- Searches for an app's name can now go past the first page, up to `maxResults`.
- The Output tab has one view per kind of result: app lists, app details and reviews (now with the reply date).
- The run shows its progress in the status message while it works.
- A run can no longer be started with more than 1 GB of memory; it needs far less.

### 0.1 (2026-09-29)

- First release: search results with positions, app details and reviews without author data, for any country and language.
