Play Store Integration

Connect ProductBridge to the Google Play Store to import and analyze Android app reviews automatically.

Overview

The Play Store integration imports Android app reviews from the Google Play Store into ProductBridge. Monitor user sentiment, track rating changes after releases, and analyze feedback from mobile users alongside all your other feedback channels.

Prerequisites

  • An Android app published on the Google Play Store
  • A Google Play Developer account with access to your app
  • A Google Cloud service account with the Google Play Developer API enabled (set up in the Google Cloud Console)

Connect Play Store

Create a Service Account

In the Google Cloud Console:

  1. Create a new project (or use an existing one)
  2. Enable the Google Play Developer API
  3. Create a service account and download the JSON key file
  4. In the Google Play Console, navigate to Settings > API Access and grant the service account access to your app with View app information and download bulk reports permission

Open Integration Settings

Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Play Store in your ProductBridge dashboard and click Connect.

Enter Credentials

Provide your:

  • Package name — Your app's package name (e.g., com.yourcompany.app)
  • Service account key — Upload the JSON key file from Google Cloud

ProductBridge validates the connection and confirms access to your app's reviews.

How It Works

Once connected:

  1. Play Store reviews are imported daily and tagged with "via Play Store"
  2. Star ratings are mapped to sentiment scores, enhanced by AI text analysis
  3. Review language is detected automatically; reviews can be filtered by language in the dashboard
  4. Developer replies (if any) are captured alongside the original review
  5. All imported reviews flow into Feedback Intelligence for analysis

Play Store reviews are pulled once daily due to Google API quotas. New reviews typically appear in ProductBridge within 24 hours.
