Collect only new app reviews each week

• Date: 8 October 2026
• Builds: Reviews 0.1.11, Ads 0.1.14, Hotels 0.1.12
• Run IDs: YWTUOzRZnqWD2Uaze
• Tool: app-store-play-reviews-scraper

I built the tool used for this article and ran it myself on Apify. Every number below comes from the run IDs above.

The setup

Set since to a date and the Actor returns only reviews from that date on. In run YWTUOzRZnqWD2Uaze, with since set to 2026-10-05 and a limit of 100, all 100 reviews were dated on or after it, and the run took 5.6 seconds. The same run also listed a package name that does not exist, and the summary reported it while the other app was collected normally.

Schedule it

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console and save your input as a task.
2. Set since to last week's date.
3. Add a weekly schedule to the task.
4. Read the dataset, or the RUN_SUMMARY record for counts per app and country.

Cost

Reviews are $0.12 per 1,000. A weekly run of 100 reviews is charged $0.012.
