Apple App Store Review Scraper

What does Apple App Store Review Scraper do?

Apple App Store Review Scraper returns reviews for any iOS app on Apple's App Store as clean structured data. For each review you get the star rating, title, full review text, the date it was posted, the reviewer's name, how many people found it helpful, and the app version they had installed. No login, no Apple account needed.

Why use Apple App Store Review Scraper?

• No account needed - works fully logged out, every run.
• Full detail, not a summary - complete review title and text, exact dates and helpful-vote counts, not just a star average.
• Any app - just give it the numeric App ID from the app's own App Store URL.
• Two ways to sort - most recent, or most helpful.
• Any country storefront - read reviews from any App Store country/locale.

What makes this different

Most review lookups only show you the handful of reviews visible on an app's main App Store page. This Actor pages all the way through an app's reviews automatically, so you can pull hundreds of real reviews in one run instead of scrolling and copy-pasting by hand.

Who uses Apple App Store Review Scraper?

• App developers and product teams - monitor what users are saying about your own iOS app, including recent complaints and praise, without opening the App Store every day.
• Competitive analysts - see exactly what users like and dislike about a competitor's app, straight from their own words.
• Market researchers - gauge real user sentiment and common complaints for any app or category before making a decision.
• Cross-platform teams - pair this with a Google Play review scraper to compare iOS vs Android sentiment for the same app side by side.

How it works

1. Your input - an app's numeric App ID, a sort order, and a country.
2. The Actor collects it - it reads Apple's own App Store review data for that app, works fully logged out, and pages through automatically up to your limit.
3. Your output - one structured record per review, ready for a spreadsheet, dashboard or report.

    "appId": "284882215",
    "country": "us",
    "sortedBy": "most_recent",
    "authorName": "pinteres is of little use",
    "authorProfileUrl": "https://itunes.apple.com/us/reviews/id627403682",
    "title": "Fb blows goats",
    "reviewText": "This platform sux.",
    "rating": 1,
    "appVersionAtReview": "584.0.0",

}

Usage Examples

• Own-app monitoring - run against your own app's ID on a schedule, sorted by most_recent, to catch new complaints or praise as they come in.
• Competitor research - run against a competitor's app ID to see what their users say.
• Cross-platform comparison - run this alongside a Play Store review scraper for the same app to compare iOS and Android sentiment.
• Multi-market check - run the same app with different country values to compare sentiment across storefronts.

Tips for Best Results

• Find the numeric appId from the app's own App Store URL - it's the number after id.
• Apple's own feed caps at 500 reviews per country/sort combination - that's a platform limit, not something this Actor imposes.
• most_helpful surfaces the reviews with the most votes, which are often the most representative of common sentiment.

Known Limitations

• Returns up to 500 reviews per country/sort combination - Apple's own App Store feed doesn't expose more than that for a given combination.
• Reflects a snapshot at the time of the run; new reviews are posted continuously.
