Google Play Review to Data Studio (ex Looker Studio): FAQ

Answers to common questions about connecting data to spreadsheets, dashboards, AI assistants, and reporting tools with Catchr.

How do I connect Google Play reviews to Looker Studio?

Add Google Play Review in Catchr and enter the app's package identifier from its Google Play URL. For a URL containing id=com.whatsapp, use com.whatsapp. You can configure several package identifiers separated by commas. Select the app and review language in the Catchr data source, then connect it to Looker Studio. Start with Review Date, Rating, and Review Text to check the returned feedback.

Can I choose the language of Google Play reviews?

Yes. Catchr provides a language setting for Google Play Review, with English as the default. Keep the chosen language consistent when comparing periods, and label separate language views clearly. This setting is not a country or device filter, and the current review catalog does not expose those breakdowns. Do not interpret an English-language review set as a complete worldwide sample of your app's feedback.

Does this connector include installs, revenue, or app-version breakdowns?

The Google Play Review source focuses on feedback: review text, dates, ratings, reviewer names, review URLs, and helpful votes, plus separate current rating summaries. Its catalog does not include installs, revenue, crashes, device models, or app-version dimensions. For app performance reporting, use the separate Google Play Store source and check its available metrics. Reviews can explain a performance change, but they do not measure how many users experienced it.

Why is my average review rating different from Google Play's displayed rating?

Your dashboard average may use only the written reviews returned for a selected language and date range. Ratings can also be submitted without written reviews, and Google weights its displayed rating toward more recent feedback. Compare the same population before treating a difference as an error. Average valid Rating values rather than summing them, and label the result as the average for the retrieved reviews. Google's ratings and reviews guide explains the distinction.

How do I chart new reviews and one-star complaints over time?

Group individual records by Review Date and count distinct Review IDs. Filter Rating to one star to track that subset, and inspect Review Text to understand the complaints. Helpful Votes can help prioritize feedback, but they are current counts rather than votes received during the selected period. Keep the app-level Review Count, Average Rating, and star-count summaries in separate charts: Catchr cannot request these global fields together with individual review fields.

Can I retrieve every historical Google Play review?

One request is not an unlimited archive. Catchr follows the provider's pagination tokens until results end, the requested date boundary is reached, or roughly 1,000 matching reviews have been collected. Use smaller date windows for high-volume apps and check the actual oldest and newest records returned. Google also provides developer review exports in Play Console for authorized app teams. Private testing feedback and a complete history of review edits are not exposed by this Catchr source.

Can I compare Android and iOS reviews in one dashboard?

Yes. Add the App Store reviews source and map the Android package and Apple app ID to the same product. Keep the platform and chosen language or storefront visible. Compare review volume, rating distribution, and recurring issues using equivalent date ranges. Do not join individual reviews by reviewer name, or assume that a review-date spike identifies the app version responsible: this source does not expose a version field.
