What we measured

Of 2,384 Google Play reviews in one run, 336 carried a developer reply (14.1%). Apple's public review feed has no replies, so the App Store side shows none by design.

By app

In this sample the reply rate ranged from 0% to 100% depending on the app.

Fields you get

developerReply and developerReplyDate sit next to the review text, rating, date and app version, so you can measure response time per app and country.
