Get Apple App Reviews Results by id

 
This endpoint will provide you with feedback data on applications listed on the App Store platform, including review ratings, review content, user profile info of each reviewer, review publication dates, and more. The results are specific to the app_id as well as the location and language parameters specified in the POST request.

We emulate set parameters with the highest accuracy so that the results you receive will match the actual search results for the specified parameters at the time of task setting. You can always check the returned results accessing the check_url in the Incognito mode to make sure the received data is entirely relevant. Note that user preferences, search history, and other personalized search factors are ignored by our system and thus would not be reflected in the returned results.

              "review_text": "Upsides: The app allows ppl to find community with likeminded people from all over the world. Allows you to earn your audience, and build your reputation through producing good content frequently. Over all, there is a very positive vibe on TikTok compared to other social media platforms, and the users seem to keep each other in check when it comes to being negative and bullying. It’s more entertaining and many times more informative than tv. It gives you a window into real peoples worlds as well, as opposed to Hollywood scripted scenes and scenarios. There are so many creative people out there freely sharing their art forms, and helping each other out, it’s beautiful to see. \n\nDownside: TikTok needs to build in a better reporting and appeal system. The current system has been weaponized to attack people simply because of opposing views. (I’ve seen people organize mass reporting parties for TikTok on Twitter.) Which isn’t fair to people who are working hard to make good clean content that happens to rub another group the wrong way. It can cause their videos to be removed their accounts to be limited or banned unjustly. Meanwhile very problematic content and malicious predatory behavior seems hard to get under control. I suggest more human discernment, deeper investigations into reports, and possibly repercussions for users who abuse the reporting system.",

I love how you can create a tiktok and get many likes on it but there are just a few problems that need to be fixed. First, people being unfit. They need to fix these inappropriate videos just because everyone wants to scroll through tiktoks to see normal videos and then come out to one like this. Second, shadowbanning. I've been banned in the shadows ever since I posted one of my most liked videos. I only get likes from my followers and I'm on fyp but I only get views. Third, tiktok glitches. My friend made a video and almost the entire video continued to have these gray things that made the video unbearable. I got likes but the video was full of glitches on tiktok. I just want you to fix this stuff not trying to be rude but just wanting to have a better experience without having these problems. I also have a good side in tiktok which is amazing. Tiktok is absolutely amazing and you can literally record anything without having a problem. You can search for anything you want, even things you don't know, and it will appear for you. I love the music that people make and I love the way you can watch your favorite videos, songs, etc. Thank you TikTok for being such a great app. Only problems are kind of annoying but it's not the songs and videos that I'm seeing. Thank you ",

Also, I don’t like how when I click I’m not interested on a video it keeps showing the same content, Creator, or the same content. I don’t appreciate how many ads have been popping up lately. I understand the ads here and there to keep the Apple live. I totally get that I’m for that but there has been so many. More than there ever was. And when I click, I’m not interested yet they still show up. I find that frustrating. I dislike how many children are on this app yet they’re strippers basically half naked, showing their dance routines.. there’s still so much inappropriate content for a child to watch and when you report a video where it contact creator, I wish they would look into it more and see what is best for the people viewing it not there guidelines because I feel the guidelines are quite as accurate as a contact that’s being put out there so if it’s inappropriate it’s inappropriate and I wish they would take that into consideration, instead of finding no violation in it.",
