Read the words on App Store and Google Play screenshots. ASO and product marketing teams use it to see which features a competitor claims on the store listing images, without clicking through every screen.

Paste a public app URL from apps.apple.com or play.google.com. Each screenshot becomes one dataset row. No store login is required.

What can this screenshot text scraper do?

  • Accept Apple App Store and Google Play app URLs in the same run.
  • Collect the phone screenshots shown on the public app page.
  • Optionally include iPad screenshots for Apple apps.
  • Transcribe the text printed on each screenshot.
  • List the feature claims that screenshot is making.
  • Cap screenshots per app with maxItems.
  • Export JSON, CSV, or Excel and schedule a repeat through Apify.

maxItems counts screenshots per app URL. Two apps with a cap of 3 can save up to six rows.

How to read app store screenshots

  1. Open the app on the App Store or Google Play and copy the URL.
  2. Paste it into Start URLs. Add the other store if you want both.
  3. Set Maximum images. The default is 3 so a test stays small.
  4. Turn on Include iPad screenshots only when you want the tablet set too.
  5. Start the run and download the dataset.

An Apple URL looks like https://apps.apple.com/us/app/whatsapp-messenger/id310633997. A Play URL looks like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp.

Use cases

  • List the features a competitor prints on the first three screens.
  • Compare the same app on Apple and Google.
  • Check whether a new version still claims offline mode.
  • Collect screenshot copy before a positioning review.
  • Sample a category of apps with one URL each.
  • Watch one listing on a schedule.
  • Hand the text to a messaging spreadsheet.
  • See which screens lead with price.
  • Confirm a localized storefront changed the headline.
