Google Play Store Reviews Scraper

Extract user reviews from any Android app on the Google Play Store at scale. Get reviewer names, star ratings, full review text, publish dates, helpful votes, app versions, device types, and developer replies — plus app metadata like title, publisher, overall rating, and install count. Built for app developers, product teams, researchers, and agencies.

Why This Scraper?

• Batch multiple apps in one run — paste a list of package names or Play Store URLs and get every review in a single dataset
• Developer replies included — ownerReplyText and ownerReplyAt on every review that has one, so you can audit response rate and quality
• App metadata on every row — title, publisher, overall rating, total review count, installs, and icon URL attached to each review for instant filtering and grouping
• Flexible sorting — Most Relevant, Newest First, Highest Rating First, or Lowest Rating First
• Rich filters — star ratings (1–5, multi-select), keywords, date range, recent-days shortcut, app version, device type, and language
• Global reach — select any of 55 countries and 30 languages to pull region-specific reviews
• Both URL and package ID accepted — paste com.spotify.music, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.music, or mix both in the same list
• Efficient recent-only runs — combine "Newest First" sort with a start date or recent-days filter and the run stops automatically once older reviews are reached
• Resilient — invalid package names are skipped with a warning so one bad entry never breaks a batch run

Tips for Best Results

• Use "Newest First" with a date filter for recent-only runs. Collection stops automatically once reviews fall outside the date window — the fastest and cheapest path to fresh reviews.
• Pick "Highest Rating First" or "Lowest Rating First" when you want stratified coverage. They fan out across all five star buckets and return reviews in predictable rating order.
• "Most Relevant" is limited by Google. Google's own UI caps "Most Relevant" at roughly 50–150 reviews per app regardless of cap. For deep scans, use "Newest First".
• Keyword, app version, and end-date filters apply after collection. Your final row count may be below Max Reviews Per App when few reviews match — widen the cap or relax the filter to get more.
• Set the right country and language. Google Play returns region-specific reviews, so countryCode=DE + language=de returns a very different dataset than countryCode=US + language=en.
• Batch many apps in one run. The actor loops over every app in appIdsOrUrls and skips invalid package names with a warning — no need to split runs.
