Read full description

A scraper for Google Play Store that extracts structured review data for any Android app by package name: it collects numeric ratings (1–5), full review text, review timestamps, app version, author name and avatar URL, counts of community helpful votes, developer reply content and reply timestamps, review identifiers and app identifiers, storefront country and language codes, and Play Store review URLs. Technical capabilities include multi-country and multi-language review fetching, sorting by newest/rating/helpfulness, paginated crawling to retrieve thousands of reviews per app, and producing one structured record per review suitable for sentiment analysis, trend detection, version-level comparisons, and developer-reply auditing.
