Google Play Reviews Scraper

Extract user reviews and ratings for any Android app from the Google Play Store. Get rating, full review text, app version, author name and avatar, helpful-vote counts, and developer replies — across any country and language.

What you get

• One dataset record per review with: rating (1–5), full review text, author name, author avatar, app version, helpful-vote count, the developer's reply (if any) and reply date, and review timestamp
• Sort by Newest, Rating, or Helpfulness
• Multi-country and multi-language support — pull reviews from 36+ Play Store regions in any of Google's supported review languages
• Unlike the Apple App Store's 500-review cap, the Play Store typically allows thousands or tens of thousands of reviews per app
• Export to JSON, CSV, or Google Sheets directly from the Apify console

Use cases

• Product feedback monitoring — surface complaints, feature requests, and bug reports from real users
• Competitive intelligence — track sentiment and version-to-version changes across competitor apps
• App Store Optimization (ASO) — analyze keywords and themes mentioned in positive vs negative reviews
• Customer support triage — feed reviews into a ticketing system or LLM for tagging and prioritization
• Localization research — compare review themes across countries and languages
• Developer-response auditing — track which reviews got replies and how quickly

How to use

1. Find your app's package name — it's the id=... parameter in the Play Store URL. For play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android, the App ID is com.instagram.android
2. Paste it into App ID (package name)
3. Choose the Country storefront and Language for review text
4. Choose Sort By — Newest for monitoring, Rating to see star-distribution patterns, Helpfulness for top community-voted reviews
5. Set Max Reviews (0 fetches all available — large apps may take several minutes)
6. Click Run — reviews appear in the Dataset tab when complete

Limits

• Reviews are localized per region/language — to monitor multiple markets, run the actor once per country.
• Large apps (millions of reviews) can take several minutes to fully paginate. For monitoring, set a Max Reviews cap and run on a schedule.
• Review titles are no longer used by Google Play, so the title field is usually null.
• Review content reflects what's currently shown on Google Play, including any reviews that may have been hidden, edited, or removed since posting.
