App Store Reviews Scraper · Ratings, Reviews & Version History

App Store Reviews Scraper is a fast iOS App Store reviews scraper that extracts Apple App Store reviews, star ratings, customer feedback, and app version history for any iOS app across 55 country storefronts without login, API keys, or headless browsers. Provide an App Store URL, app ID, bundle ID, or search query to scrape App Store reviews into structured JSON/CSV for ASO (App Store Optimization), sentiment analysis, and competitor research.

Maintained by reapX. Every row cites the Apify run that produced it — nothing is inferred, modelled or filled in, and a field absent from the source is absent from the row. The extracted archive for this source is browsable at reapx.dev/data/app-store-reviews-scraper/ and mirrored as an open dataset on Hugging Face and Kaggle. Questions: reapxdev@proton.me

You pay $0.002 per review returned. Blocked storefronts, unresolved apps, empty feeds and reviews your filters remove are never charged.

How to use App Store Reviews Scraper

1. Paste one or more apps into App Store apps - a URL like https://apps.apple.com/us/app/whatsapp-messenger/id310633997, a numeric ID like 284882215, or a bundle ID like com.burbn.instagram. Mixed formats are fine.
2. Or leave it and type an App Store search term such as budget tracker. The scraper resolves it to the top-ranking apps in every storefront you picked.
3. Choose your country storefronts. Apple keeps a separate review feed per country, so us and de give you genuinely different reviews for the same app.
4. Press Start. The prefilled defaults run out of the box and finish in well under a minute.

App Store Reviews Scraper output data

Every row is one review and carries the whole app profile with it, so a single export is enough for analysis - no joining required.

Column	What it is
reviewId, reviewedAt	Apple's stable review ID and the post date in ISO 8601 UTC
rating	Star rating, 1 to 5
reviewTitle, reviewBody	Headline and full review text as published
reviewerName, reviewerProfileUrl	Public App Store nickname and the reviewer's other reviews
reviewAppVersion, isCurrentVersion	The app version the reviewer was running, and whether it is the live one
helpfulVoteCount, helpfulVoteSum	How many people voted on the review and the net score
country, countryName	Which storefront the review came from
appName, appId, appBundleId, appDeveloper	Identity of the reviewed app
appAverageRating, appRatingCount	Lifetime star average and rating count in that storefront
appAverageRatingCurrentVersion, appRatingCountCurrentVersion	The same, for the live release only
appCurrentVersion, appCurrentVersionReleaseDate, appReleaseNotes	The live release, when it shipped and its what's-new text
appFirstReleaseDate, appMinimumOsVersion, appSizeBytes, appLanguages	Launch date and technical profile
appPrimaryGenre, appGenres, appFormattedPrice, appContentRating	Category, price and age rating in that storefront
appIconUrl, appStoreUrl, reviewUrl	Artwork and links back to the listing

Four named views are ready in the dataset tab: Reviews, Version history, Ratings and app profile, and Review text for analysis. Export any of them to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS, or read them straight from the API.

App version history from reviews

Apple does not publish a per-release changelog feed. What this scraper does instead is stamp every review with reviewAppVersion - the build the reviewer was actually running - alongside the live release metadata (appCurrentVersion, appCurrentVersionReleaseDate, appReleaseNotes). Group the Version history view by reviewAppVersion and you get average stars per release, how fast users moved onto the new build, and which version the complaints belong to. Set Only reviews posted after to a release date to isolate the reaction to one update.

Filter App Store reviews before you pay

• Minimum / maximum star rating - set 1-2 to isolate complaints, 4-5 for testimonials.
• Only reviews posted after - a date cutoff for release monitoring.
• Only reviews mentioning - keeps a review only if its title or body contains one of your words, such as crash, refund, subscription.
• Skip reviews with an empty body - drops star-only ratings before sentiment analysis.
• Max reviews for the whole run - a hard cost ceiling for the run.

Filtered-out reviews are fetched but never charged, so tight filters cost less, not more.

Track competitor apps across country storefronts

Add several apps and several storefronts in one run. Each row is labelled with appName and country, so you can compare a competitor's German 1-star reviews to your own, or watch how the same app is received in jp, br and ae. Search terms work the same way - one term such as habit tracker becomes a live cohort of the top-ranking apps in every market you selected, which keeps working as the charts move.

Limits you should know about

• Apple's public review feed serves 50 reviews per page and stops at page 10, so the ceiling is 500 reviews per app, per storefront, per sort order. Asking for more is capped, not failed.
• Review order is Apple's own: most recent or most helpful.
• Reviewer nicknames are public App Store display names. No private or personal data is collected.
• Requests are plain HTTP with exponential backoff on 429 and 5xx, and the lookup and search endpoints are throttled to Apple's stated ~20 calls per minute.
• Apple throttles busy shared cloud IPs by returning an empty feed rather than an error. The scraper routes each app and storefront through its own Apify Proxy session to avoid this, and retries an empty first page twice. If a feed still comes back empty, the status message names it and you are charged nothing for it.

Input configuration

Every field is optional. The prefilled values below are what runs if you press Start without changing anything.

Which apps to read

Name the apps directly, or let the App Store search find them for you. You can use both at once.

Field	Type	Accepts	What it does
appIds	list	one value per line	The iOS apps to read reviews for. Paste an App Store URL, a numeric app ID, or a bundle ID - one per line. Example: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/whatsapp-messenger/id310633997, 284882215, com.burbn.instagram. Prefilled with ["284882215"].
searchTerms	list	one value per line	App Store search queries. Each one is resolved to the top-ranking apps in every storefront you selected, so you can track a whole category without knowing its app IDs. Example: budget tracker, habit tracker. Prefilled with [].
appsPerSearchTerm	integer	1 to 25	How many top-ranking apps to keep for each search term above. Example: 3 keeps the three best-matching apps per term. Prefilled with 3.

Which country storefronts

Reviews differ per country. Add several to compare markets in one run.

Field	Type	Accepts	What it does
countries	list	one value per line	Apple runs a separate review feed per country. Pick one or many - every review row is labelled with the storefront it came from. Example: us, gb, de, jp. Prefilled with ["us"].

How many reviews

Apple's public review feed serves at most 500 reviews per app per storefront. You pay only for the reviews you actually receive.

Field	Type	Accepts	What it does
sortBy	string	mostrecent, mosthelpful	Newest first, or the reviews Apple ranks as most helpful. Example: mostrecent for monitoring, mosthelpful for research. Prefilled with "mostrecent".
maxReviewsPerApp	integer	1 to 500	Upper limit for each app in each storefront, before filters. Apple's hard ceiling is 500. Example: 100. Prefilled with 100.
maxTotalReviews	integer	1 to 100000	Hard stop for the entire run - your cost ceiling. The run ends as soon as this many reviews have been returned. Example: 500. Prefilled with 500.

Filter the reviews

Filtered-out reviews are never charged. Leave these at their defaults to keep every review.

Field	Type	Accepts	What it does
minRating	integer	1 to 5	Keep only reviews at or above this star rating. Example: 1 keeps everything, 4 keeps positive reviews. Prefilled with 1.
maxRating	integer	1 to 5	Keep only reviews at or below this star rating. Example: 2 isolates 1- and 2-star complaints. Prefilled with 5.
reviewedAfter	string	YYYY-MM-DD	Drop anything older than this date. Useful for watching the reaction to a release. Example: 2026-01-01. Prefilled with "".
keywords	list	one value per line	Keep a review only if its title or body contains one of these words, case-insensitive. Example: crash, refund, subscription. Prefilled with [].
onlyReviewsWithText	true/false	checkbox	Drop star-only reviews that carry no written text. Example: true when you plan to run sentiment analysis. Prefilled with false.

Connection

Leave this alone unless you have a reason not to. Reviews the source never returns are never charged.

Field	Type	Accepts	What it does
proxyConfiguration	object	free text	Apple throttles busy shared cloud IPs by answering with an empty review feed instead of an error. Apify Proxy gives each app and storefront its own exit IP, which avoids it. Example: leave this on. Prefilled with {"useApifyProxy": true}.

Pricing

Pay per event. The primary event is App Store review returned (review-item), charged at $0.002 per event on the free plan, falling to $0.0008 on the highest tier.

Charged once for each App Store review written to the dataset. Blocked storefronts, unresolved apps, empty feeds and reviews removed by your filters are never charged.

Other charged events: apify-actor-start (Actor Start).

Minimum charge cap per run: $0.002.

Tiered discounts apply automatically on every paid Apify plan. Platform usage is absorbed by the Actor, so the per-event price is the whole price.

FAQ

Can I scrape App Store reviews without an API key?

Yes. This scraper only reads Apple's public review RSS feed, the iTunes lookup endpoint and the iTunes search endpoint. There is no login, no cookie and no key to configure.

How many App Store reviews can I get for one app?

Up to 500 per app per country storefront - Apple's public feed hard-stops at page 10 of 50. To go wider, add more storefronts: 10 countries gives you up to 5,000 reviews for the same app, each labelled with its market.

How do I find an app's App Store ID?

You don't have to. Paste the App Store URL and the scraper reads the ID out of it, or paste the bundle ID, or type the app's name as a search term.

Can I get only 1-star reviews?

Set Maximum star rating to 1. Reviews above that are dropped before anything is charged.

Does this return the app's version history and release notes?

It returns the live version, its release date and its release notes on every row, plus reviewAppVersion - the build each reviewer was running. Grouping by that column reconstructs sentiment per release. Apple does not expose an archive of past release notes publicly, so historical changelog text is not available from any open endpoint.

What does a run cost?

$0.002 per review returned, discounted on every paid Apify plan. The default run (100 reviews from one app) costs about $0.20. Nothing is charged for blocked storefronts, apps that cannot be resolved, empty feeds or reviews your filters remove. Use Max reviews for the whole run to pin the ceiling exactly.

Why did one app return no reviews?

Apple sometimes serves an empty review feed for a specific app and storefront, especially to shared cloud IP ranges. The scraper retries with a fresh proxy session, and if the feed is still empty it names that app in the run status message and charges you nothing for it. Re-running usually fills the gap.

How fresh are the reviews?

Live. Every run reads Apple's feed at that moment; scrapedAt records when, and Most recent first puts the newest reviews at the top.

Can I run this on a schedule or from an agent?

Yes. Save any configuration as an Apify task and schedule it, or call the Actor from the API. The dataset schema is fully typed and documented, so agents can chain the output without guessing at columns.
