New: Google Play Reviews Scraper — app ratings, dev replies and sentiment by app ID

What it does

The Google Play Reviews Scraper pulls Android app reviews straight from the Play Store by package name (like com.spotify.music) or Play Store URL. Every review comes back as structured JSON with the star rating, full text, date, app version, developer reply, and an automatic sentiment label. No Google login, no API key — you pay per review returned.

Who it's for

App product teams tracking release quality, ASO specialists mining review language for keywords, support teams triaging complaints, and analysts running competitor app teardowns across the Android ecosystem.

Sample fields / output

Each review row includes score (1–5 stars), sentimentLabel (negative / neutral / positive), content (review text), userName and at (reviewer and date), appVersion, thumbsUpCount (helpful votes), and replyContent / repliedAt for developer responses.

Example use cases

  • Release-quality tracking — group reviews by appVersion to spot a buggy release the day complaints start landing.
  • Support triage — pull only 1–2 star reviews with filterScore and route them into your help desk.
  • Competitor analysis — run the same query against rival apps and compare sentiment mix and complaint themes.

FAQ

How many reviews can I pull per app?

Up to 500 reviews per app per run, sorted by newest, rating, or relevance. Pricing is pay-per-review, so a 100-review run costs exactly 100 review events.

Can I filter for negative reviews only?

Yes — set filterScore to 1 or 2 to pull only 1-star or 2-star reviews, which is the fastest way to triage complaints after a release.

Does it include developer replies?

Yes. Each review row includes replyContent and repliedAt when the developer has responded, so you can audit response coverage and response time.
