R Package to Quickly Analyse Google Play Store Reviews

30 September 2020View on Simon Sayz

Background

After conducting text analysis on SafeBoda's Google Play Store reviews, I was challenged to make the same capability available to any app company — faster and easier. That became appstorr.

Installation

if (!require(devtools)) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("tagasimon/appstorr")

Usage

The package is designed for simplicity — most analyses in just a few lines:

df <- appstorr::df_safeboda
appstorr::quick_report(
  data = df,
  report_title = "SafeBoda Text Analysis Report"
)

This generates automated analysis visualisations including bigrams, sentiment distributions, and word frequency charts.

Future Work

  • A sentiment model to predict app ratings based on review content
  • An interactive web application making the analysis accessible for any Google Play Store app
