Apify ActorApp Store and Google Play reviews in one table
Review data is easy to collect badly. There are two stores, two formats, different pagination, and duplicates when the same review shows up in several countries. This Actor returns both stores in one schema, deduplicated, with a summary row per app.
Give it app IDs, App Store URLs, Google Play package names or store URLs. You get one row per review with rating, title, text, date, version and the developer reply, plus an optional summary row with the rating histogram, reply rate and the top 15 keywords.

Run it from your own code
The Actor takes the same input as a JSON body. This call starts a run, waits for it and returns the dataset items.
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/zovo-one~app-store-google-play-reviews/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"apps": ["https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-music-and-podcasts/id324684580", "com.spotify.music"], "countries": ["us"], "languages": ["en"], "maxReviewsPerApp": 50, "sort": "newest", "sinceDate": "3 days", "includeSummary": true}'A sync call waits at most 300 seconds. For longer runs, start a run with POST /v2/acts/zovo-one~app-store-google-play-reviews/runs, wait for it, then read /v2/datasets/<defaultDatasetId>/items.
Limits
Per run you can ask for up to 200 apps, 50 countries and 20 languages, and at most 2,000 app x country tasks. maxReviewsPerApp goes up to 20,000. The App Store pages about 1,000 to 3,000 reviews a minute per task; Google Play returns up to 150 per request. The stores cannot filter by stars, so a rating filter reads up to 10x maxReviewsPerApp and drops the rest. Neither store publishes star-only ratings as reviews, so those are not included.
Questions
How do I get App Store reviews for an app?
Pass the apps.apple.com URL or the numeric app ID (324684580 for Spotify). Numeric IDs are the safer choice, because they don't change when Apple renames a listing. The Actor returns one row per review with rating, title, text and date.
Can I scrape Google Play and the App Store in one run?
Yes, that is the point. Put App Store URLs or IDs and Play package names or URLs in the same apps list. Both stores land in one dataset with the same columns, and store tells you which is which.
How do I collect only new reviews every day?
Schedule a daily run with sort: "newest" and sinceDate: "3 days", then drop reviewId values you already have. Reading stops as soon as older reviews start, so the run is short. A review can appear in up to three daily runs, and it is charged each time it is saved, because the Actor does not remember reviews between runs.
Why are version and thumbsUp empty on App Store rows?
Apple's public review data has no app version and no helpful votes. Google Play has both, so those columns fill in for Play reviews only.
Why does a second country add so few Google Play reviews?
Google Play shows mostly the same reviews in every country for one language, and the Actor removes duplicates so you don't pay twice. For more distinct Play reviews, add languages such as ["en", "de", "fr"] instead of countries. App Store reviews do differ by country.
Are reviewer names included?
Only if you turn on includeAuthor. Profile pictures and user IDs are never collected. The Actor reads only reviews that anyone can see on the public store pages without logging in.
