App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper

Scrape Google Play reviews and App Store reviews for any public app in one run: star rating, title, full review text, author, date, app version, helpful votes and (on Google Play) the developer reply. This app review scraper works as a low-cost, unofficial Google Play reviews API and App Store reviews API for review monitoring, sentiment analysis and competitor research. Paste app URLs, App Store IDs or Google Play package names, choose one or more countries, and export to JSON, CSV or Excel.

• ⚡ Fast and light. No headless browser. In our tests it scraped 6,000 reviews in about 30 seconds on 256 MB of memory.
• 🌍 Both stores, many countries. Mix iOS and Android apps in one input. Scrape any App Store storefront and any Google Play country and language.
• 💸 Pay only for results. You pay per review delivered, nothing for failed apps or filtered-out reviews. No monthly rental.
• 🔒 Public data only. It never logs in. Uses the App Store's public customer-reviews feed and Google Play's public web data.
• 🧾 One clean schema for both stores, so iOS and Android reviews land in the same table.

What can you use it for?

• Review monitoring: schedule a daily run with reviewedAfter and get only new reviews (great with Slack, email or Google Sheets integrations).
• Competitor research: compare what users love and hate about competing apps, per country.
• Product and UX research: filter 1–2 star reviews to find bugs, crashes and missing features by app version.
• Customer support QA: see which Google Play reviews got a developer reply and how fast.
• AI and LLM pipelines: feed structured reviews into sentiment analysis, topic clustering, RAG or dashboards.
• ASO (App Store Optimization): mine the words real users use to describe an app.

Scrape Google Play reviews

Add a Google Play URL (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp) or just the package name (com.whatsapp) to apps. Pick the review language and the countries. Google Play has no fixed review cap, so set maxReviewsPerApp or reviewedAfter.

Scrape App Store reviews

Add an App Store URL (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/whatsapp-messenger/id310633997) or the numeric ID (id310633997 or 310633997). Each country is a separate storefront with its own reviews. Apple's public feed returns up to 500 reviews per country and sort order (see Limits).

App review data fields

Each review is one dataset item with the same fields for both stores:

{
  "store": "google",
  "appId": "com.revolut.revolut",
  "appName": "Revolut: Spend, Save, Trade",
  "developer": "Revolut Ltd",
  "country": "us",
  "language": "en",
  "reviewId": "2bd5ba89-6afe-4145-8254-17c5b856455b",

  "scrapedAt": "2026-11-04T16:34:42Z"
}

Field	App Store	Google Play
rating, text, author, date	✅	✅
appVersion	✅	✅ when the reviewer's app version is known (85–93% in our tests)
title	✅	— (Google Play reviews have no title)
language	— (Apple's feed has no language; reviews are per country)	✅ the language you asked for
helpfulCount	✅ helpful votes	✅ thumbs-up votes
voteCount	✅ all votes (helpful + not helpful)	✅ same as helpfulCount (Google Play has only thumbs-up votes)
developerReply, developerReplyDate	— (not in Apple's public feed)	✅ when the developer replied
authorUrl	✅ reviewer profile URL	— (Google Play has no public profile pages)
authorImage	— (not in Apple's feed)	✅ avatar image

Empty fields are null, so iOS and Android reviews still fit one table.

A summary per app and country (app name, overall rating, rating count, reviews scraped, errors, timing) is saved to the key-value store as RUN_SUMMARY. Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or read it through the Apify API.

App reviews API in Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient
import pandas as pd

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("tidy-data/app-store-google-play-reviews-scraper").call(run_input={
    "apps": ["com.spotify.music", "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-music-and-podcasts/id324684580"],
    "countries": ["us", "gb"],
    "maxReviewsPerApp": 500,
    "sort": "NEWEST",
})
df = pd.DataFrame(client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items())
print(df.groupby(["store", "rating"]).size())

Monitor app reviews daily

Create an Apify Schedule (for example every morning) with sort: "NEWEST" and reviewedAfter set to a recent date, then connect Slack, e-mail, Google Sheets or a webhook on the Integrations tab. Add ratings: [1, 2] to watch only complaints.

Pricing

You pay $0.09 per 1,000 reviews (pay per event, see the Pricing tab), plus a tiny per-run start fee. Example: 10,000 reviews cost under one US dollar. Platform usage is included in the price. Apps that are not found, and reviews removed by your filters, are never charged. You can cap spending with the run's maximum cost setting, and the Actor stops cleanly when the cap is reached.

Limits you should know

• App Store: Apple's public review feed returns up to 500 reviews per country and sort order (the newest 500, or the 500 most helpful). For more coverage, add more countries or run both sort orders; duplicates within a run are removed automatically.
• Google Play: no fixed cap. Popular apps can have millions of reviews, so set maxReviewsPerApp or use reviewedAfter.
• Reviews are country-specific on both stores. A review written in the UK store does not appear in the US store.

Tips

• Daily monitoring: schedule a run with sort: NEWEST and reviewedAfter set to yesterday's date.
• Only complaints: ratings: [1, 2].
• Global picture: countries: ["us", "gb", "ca", "au", "de", "fr", "in", "br"].
• Use it from AI agents: this Actor works with the Apify MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor agents can call it directly.

FAQ

How do I export Google Play reviews to CSV?

Run the Actor with your app, open the run's Storage tab and download the dataset as CSV (or Excel, JSON, XML, HTML). You can also fetch it from the Apify API, e.g. https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<datasetId>/items?format=csv.

Can I get reviews from multiple countries?

Yes. Add several codes to countries, e.g. ["us", "gb", "de"]. Each app is scraped once per country and every review has a country field.

How many App Store reviews can I get?

Apple's public review feed returns at most 500 reviews per country and sort order. To get more, add countries or run both NEWEST and MOST_HELPFUL; duplicates within a run are removed. Google Play has no fixed cap.

Is it legal to scrape app reviews?

This Actor only collects publicly available reviews that anyone can see without logging in. Reviews can contain personal data such as display names. Make sure your use complies with the GDPR and other applicable laws and with the stores' terms. If you are unsure, consult a lawyer.
