How to Export Google Play Reviews to CSV/Excel (2025 Guide)

Pull every Google Play app review — ratings, full text, app versions, and developer replies — into a structured spreadsheet in minutes. No coding or API keys required.

Google Play reviews are a goldmine for mobile product teams and ASO specialists. They reveal which features users love, which bugs are costing you ratings, and how your app compares to competitors in your category. But the Play Store interface makes bulk analysis nearly impossible — reviews are paginated, not downloadable, and the developer console only exposes your own app data. The Google Play Reviews Exporter Chrome extension solves this problem by extracting the complete public review dataset from any app page and exporting it directly to CSV or Excel, ready for analysis in seconds.

Step 1: Install the Chrome Extension

Visit the Chrome Web Store and go to the Google Play Reviews Exporter listing. Click Add to Chrome and approve the permissions. The extension icon will appear in your Chrome toolbar immediately — no restart needed, no account required.

Requirements: Chrome 88+ · Works on any Google Play app page · No Google account needed

Step 2: Navigate to an App Page on Google Play

Open play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=[package-name] for any app you want to analyse. This could be your own app, a competitor's app, or any app in your category. Scroll down so the reviews section is visible on screen — this signals the page to load review content, which the extension will then capture. The extension works regardless of whether you are signed into a Google account.

Step 3: Click the Extension Icon and Export

Click the Google Play Reviews Exporter icon in your toolbar. The popup shows the number of reviews detected. Select your format:

  • CSV — best for large datasets, Python/pandas analysis, or feeding into BI tools
  • Excel (.xlsx) — best for pivot tables, charts, and sharing with product or marketing teams

Click Start Export. The extension pages through all available reviews and downloads a file named google_play_reviews_[app]_[date].csv. For an app with 1,000 reviews, the export typically completes in under two minutes.

Each row in the exported file represents one review and includes the following fields:

ASO Optimization

Analyse the language real users use to describe your app's strengths and weaknesses. Feed high-frequency positive phrases back into your store listing to improve keyword relevance and conversion.

Filter reviews by app version and thumbs-up count to surface the most impactful bugs. Cross-reference with 1-star reviews to build a data-driven bug backlog ranked by user impact.

Feature Planning

Mine feature requests hidden in 3-star and 4-star reviews to build a roadmap grounded in actual user demand rather than assumptions or internal guesswork.

Competitive Benchmarking

Export reviews from three or four competing apps and compare sentiment scores, common complaint themes, and rating distribution to identify your category's biggest unmet user needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I export reviews for any app, not just mine?

Yes. The extension works on any publicly accessible Google Play app page. You can export reviews for your own app, competitor apps, or any app in your research set without needing developer console access.

Does the export include the app version each reviewer was using?

Yes. The app version field is included when Google Play surfaces it alongside the review. This makes it easy to correlate review sentiment with specific release versions or to spot regressions introduced in a particular update.

How does this differ from the Google Play Developer Console?

The Developer Console only gives you access to reviews for apps you own. This extension lets you export reviews from any public app page, making it the right tool for competitive analysis and market research.
