App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper (iOS + Android)

What does App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper (iOS & Android) do?

App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper extracts customer reviews, star ratings (1–5), app versions, helpfulness votes (thumbsUp), review dates, and developer replies from both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store in a single unified dataset schema.

Instead of maintaining two separate scrapers with incompatible field names for iOS and Android, this Unified Mobile App Reviews API normalizes feedback across both ecosystems so Product Managers, Voice-of-Customer (VoC) teams, ASO agencies, and AI agents can analyze mobile user sentiment in minutes.

• Simple Pay-Per-Event pricing: $0.80 per 1,000 reviews ($0.0008 per mobile review). Platform compute is free.
• 6,250 Free Reviews / Month: Apify's $5.00/month free credit covers 6,250 iOS + Android app reviews every month at $0.
• Paste IDs or Full Store URLs: Accepts numeric Apple IDs (389801252), apps.apple.com links, Android package IDs (com.spotify.music), or play.google.com URLs in the same run.

Why scrape Apple App Store & Google Play reviews together?

Your competitors' 1-star and 2-star mobile reviews are a real-time roadmap of bugs, hated paywalls, broken updates, and missing features their paying users are complaining about right now.

Core business use cases

1. Competitor Churn & Pain-Point Mining: Extract recent 1–2★ reviews from rival iOS and Android apps to discover why users cancel — then build your product positioning and ad copy directly around their weaknesses.
2. Release & Version Regression Monitoring (appVersion): Detect spikes in crash reports immediately after a new iOS or Android version rollout (v8.9.x).
3. Voice of Customer (VoC) & AI Sentiment Pipelines: Pipe weekly reviews into Slack, Notion, Linear, or Claude/OpenAI via n8n / Make to auto-tag bug reports vs feature requests.
4. App Store Optimization (ASO) Keyword Mining: Discover the exact natural phrases happy 5★ users write to describe your category.
5. Due Diligence & Market Research: Benchmark customer satisfaction, reply responsiveness (replyText), and version velocity across mobile fintech, SaaS, health, or consumer apps.
