AppFollow vs. DIY: Google Play and App Store reviews API limits you hit when building your own tool
The article compares Google Play's Reply to Reviews API with App Store Connect's review endpoints, focusing on differences in history, edits, replies, and moderation. It highlights that the Google Play API only returns reviews created or modified within the last seven days, with older data requiring the Play Console CSV export, and outlines the challenges of building a DIY review management tool around complete history, outage recovery, and abuse flagging.
What this means for indie developers：If you plan to build your own review management or reply tool, account for Google Play's seven-day window and backfill history with scheduled fetches plus CSV exports.
