Read reviews as data, for your app and your rivals

The Google Play reviews API returns 20 reviews per call for any Android app, in the order Google Play shows them, with star rating, full review text, date, likes and the app version the reviewer used. One call costs €0.0015, which works out to €0.075 per 1,000 reviews. Set the app up once and every run's reviews are saved in your Scrapewise account, ready for the table, Excel, your AI assistant or the API.

The Play Console shows reviews for your own app. It doesn't show your competitors' reviews, and it's slow to read when you want counts: how many 1-star reviews mention 'crash' since the last release, or which feature request comes up most. Scrolling the store page on a phone gives you the same text with no way to sort or count it.

This API gives you the reviews as rows, so a spreadsheet or a script can do the counting. The app version column is the useful one for developers. It tells you whether the complaints belong to the build you shipped on Monday or to one from last year. For the app's listing itself, use the Play Store app details API. To see where an app ranks for a keyword, use the Play Store search API. All sources and prices are on the all data APIs and prices page.

Who pulls Play Store reviews

  • App developers after a release

    You shipped version 6.2 and the rating dropped by 0.1. Pull the reviews the store shows first, check which app version they mention, and find the bug users hit before more of them write about it.

  • Product managers planning a roadmap

    Pull reviews from the 30 biggest apps in your category and tag the feature requests. That's 600 reviews for €0.045, and the list you get is what users of those apps ask for.

  • Support leads

    Group low-star reviews by topic, like login, billing or sync, and see which one costs you the most stars each week.

  • Investors and analysts

    Reviews are public and people write them every day. A rival app with a wave of 1-star reviews about a price change is worth knowing about before the next earnings call.

How it works

  1. Add the app once

    Use the Play Store link or the package name, like com.duolingo. Set country and language for one market. Each call returns 20 reviews for €0.0015.

  2. Schedule it daily

    Each run is saved with its date, so you see how the reviews Google Play puts first change over time. Rows are kept for 90 days.

  3. Find the problems

    Sort by stars and filter by version in the table or Excel, pull rows by API, or ask your AI assistant: 'what do 1-star reviews since the last update complain about?'

Set it up once. The data keeps coming.

Save your search once and it runs by itself. Every run lands in your own Scrapewise database, and you pick how to read it.

  1. Set it up once

    Add your ASINs, keywords, places or apps to a scraper in the web app. New accounts get 5 free requests.

  2. Runs on your schedule

    Pick daily, weekly on the days you choose, every few days, or the first or last day of the month. Scheduled runs start at night, European time. Need it more often? Start runs from your own code.

  3. Saved in your database

    Each run adds dated rows, so this week sits next to last week. Rows are kept for 90 days.

  4. Use it your way

    Open the table in the web app and download the latest run as an Excel file. Ask your own AI assistant about it. Or pull the rows into your code with an API key.

Ask your AI assistant about your own data

Connect Claude Desktop, Claude Code or another MCP app with a read-only key. The assistant reads the rows you've already collected, at no extra cost on Scrapewise. With a full-access key it can start a run for you too.

  • Which of my ASINs lost the Buy Box this week?
  • Which competitor cut prices the most since Monday?
  • Show the keywords where I dropped out of the top 10.

What you send and what you get back

Send a Play Store app link or package name. Country and language are optional. Each call returns 20 reviews, one row per review, with the rating, full text, date in two formats, likes and app version.

I am a broke college student and can no longer pay for the subscription.

I am seriously considering letting my 1175 day streak go and uninstall the app altogether.

I constantly have to close and reopen it to update my progress after finishing a lesson. Sometimes, it will erase two or three full levels of progress. Last night, I needed to pass a test to be permitted to return to where I belonged. It will also say I have 3x XP for 30 minutes, which somehow turns out to be 1.5 XP for 10 minutes.

I just got switched from the heart to the energy system and it's awful: I can't even complete one "legendary" lesson without running out of energy, usually at the very last question (of course).

Another bug is that sometimes you would get a reward but it wouldn't actually show up and you didn't actually get it. Another thing that bothers me is the Duolingo ad that has someone sitting in the restroom, and a few other ads. They don't seem appropriate, as children use this app too.

What each column means

Columns starting with 'sw' use the same names on every Scrapewise data API. The others are the Play Store's own review fields. One thing to watch: in the Play Store's data, the title field holds the reviewer's name, not a review headline.

The review

Star rating from 1 to 5, the review text and the likes count, which is how many users marked the review as helpful.

  • sw rating
  • rating
  • snippet
  • likes

When and on which build

Date is the text the store shows, like 'April 20, 2026'. The ISO date and sw published at hold the same moment in a format a spreadsheet can sort. App version is the build the reviewer was running.

  • date
  • iso_date
  • sw published at
  • app_version

Reviewer and review ID

The review ID lets you skip reviews you already stored when you run a daily pull. Title and sw title hold the reviewer's display name. Our sample uses made-up names and a placeholder avatar.

  • id
  • sw external id
  • sw id kind
  • title
  • sw title
  • avatar
  • sw image

Order and request details

Position is the order the reviews came back in. The rest record which app, country and language you asked for, and when the row was collected.

  • sw position
  • sw status
  • sw source url
  • sw location
  • sw locale
  • sw fetched at
  • ctx_search_parameters_product_id
  • ctx_pagination_next_page_token

What you can do with the reviews

01

Find the bug users mention most

Take the 1-star and 2-star reviews and count words like crash, freeze, login and ads. Fix the top one first, then check again next week.

02

Check what a release did

Split reviews by the app version column and compare the average star rating of the new build with the old one. You'll know within days if an update hurt.

03

Mine rival apps for feature requests

Pull reviews from 20 competing apps and look for 'I wish', 'please add' and 'missing'. Those requests are roadmap ideas that real users already asked for.

04

See which complaints people agree with

The likes column counts how many users marked a review helpful. A 1-star review with 771 likes speaks for a lot more people than one with none.

05

Watch for a 1-star wave

Pull your app's reviews every day and count the 1-star rows. When that count climbs past your normal level, look at the app version column to see which build started it.

06

Compare markets

Run the same app with the country set to us and then de. Reviews in one market sometimes point to a translation or payment problem the other doesn't have.

Real setups and what they cost

  • Daily watch on your own app

    An indie developer checks their app's reviews twice a day in the US and UK. That's 4 calls a day, about 120 a month, for €0.18.

  • Agency with 12 client apps

Why export Play Store reviews with Scrapewise

  • Price per call, not per seat

    20 reviews cost €0.0015. You top up a wallet from €5 and pay only for the calls you run. No plan to cancel when the project ends.

  • Any public app works

    You don't need access to the app's Play Console. Any app with a public store page works, so your competitors' reviews are as easy to get as your own.

  • App version on every row

    The version column ties each complaint to a build. That's the detail a developer needs to decide what to fix, and the store page on your phone doesn't let you filter by it.
