Why We Built a Free App Review Scraper

We built ReviewMaxxing because we got tired of paying for something that should be simple. All we wanted was to pull app reviews from the App Store and Google Play, dump them into a spreadsheet, and move on with our analysis. Instead, every tool we tried either charged per review, locked features behind a monthly subscription, or required a sales call before we could even see a demo.

The Problem With Paid Review Tools

Most app intelligence platforms bundle review access with a dozen other features you might not need. You end up paying for install estimates, ad intelligence, and SDK tracking just to read what users are saying. If you are a solo developer or a small product team, that math does not work.

Some tools offer free tiers, but they cap you at one app or one country. That is barely useful when you need to compare feedback across markets.

What We Wanted Instead

A tool that does one thing well: scrape reviews from both stores, across as many countries as possible, and let you export the results. No account creation. No credit card. No feature walls.

That is exactly what ReviewMaxxing does. You search for an app, pick the countries you care about, hit scrape, and download an Excel file when it is done. The whole process takes a few minutes depending on how many countries you select.

How It Works Under the Hood

ReviewMaxxing runs entirely in your browser. When you start a scrape, your browser sends requests to our lightweight API endpoints that talk to the App Store and Play Store. We organize countries into three tiers — developed markets, emerging markets, and rest of world — so you can scrape entire market segments at once instead of picking countries one by one.

Reviews come back in real time, get deduplicated, and land in a table you can filter by rating, country, or store. When you are done, export everything as XLSX with separate sheets for App Store reviews, Play Store reviews, and app metadata.

Who Is This For

Product managers doing competitor research. Indie developers checking how their app performs in different regions. Marketing teams tracking sentiment after a launch. Anyone who has ever thought, “I just want the reviews in a spreadsheet” — this is for you.

Try it out. It is free, and you do not need to sign up for anything.
