Frequently asked questions

Which dataset has install counts for Google Play apps?

Three, at different grains. Google Play Store Apps - Extended records exact minimum and maximum install counts for 2.3 million apps from its June 2021 collection. Play and Apple App Store Metrics carries an installs column across 3.19 million combined listings crawled February-March 2026. Live Play pages print bracketed counts for the current state.

Which dataset works best for app-rating prediction models?

Two baselines cover it: Google Play Store Apps (Kaggle - lava18) pairs 10,841 app rows with 64,295 labeled user-review sentiment rows, and the Apple App Store - 10k Apps Dataset adds 7,197 iOS rows whose companion file supplies a full text description per app. Both are laptop-scale CSV; graduate to the 2.3-million-row Extended table once the pipeline holds.
