Android App Review

Overview App reviews on Android’s Google Play store provide a consistent, demand-side signal that reflects how many consumers are actively engaging with an app by leaving feedback. While not yet sentiment-scored, the volume of reviews itself acts as a useful proxy for shifts in engagement, brand attention, and feature adoption.

Historical Length Coverage typically extends at least 2 years for most major apps, with variation depending on Google Play store availability.

Granularity Data is collected daily, giving users a steady flow of feedback and sentiment to work with. Within the platform, reviews can be aggregated to weekly or monthly periods for long-term tracking.

Update Frequency Reviews are updated monthly, usually within the first week of the new month.

Methodology TickerTrends aggregates app review data from Google Play using Similarweb. For each app, we collect:

• Daily review volume (how many new reviews are posted per day).

• Text snippets, Average star ratings (1 to 5), and Sentiment Analysis (upon request, contact us).

The data is structured as a time series, making it easy to correlate shifts in sentiment with app updates, outages, or marketing campaigns.
