Google Play Apps 2026 (1.1M apps, 1K+ installs): findings, method and data card

Fliar Research · released October 2026 · licence CC BY-NC 4.0

How this dataset was acquired. Every row comes from the Radar API, Fliar's company-data API and MCP server. Radar crawls the public Google Play store page of every app it can discover (2.94 million apps in the June 2026 crawl, read from the US storefront) and stores each listing's title, developer, genre, install band, ratings, price, ads and in-app purchase labels and dates. This release keeps the 1.1 million apps with at least 1,000 installs. It normalises dates to YYYY-MM-DD, reduces each developer website to its registered domain (so apps can be joined to companies), and removes all developer contact details. The full data, including exact install counts and install growth, is available through POST /v1/apps/profile (reference) or the get_app MCP tool; POST /v1/companies/apps lists every app of a company by its domain.

This file is a 9% sample: 100,013 of 1,101,050 apps. It keeps every record for a fixed subset of developers. The subset is chosen by a hash, so it stays the same from one release to the next. The findings and tables below were computed on the full data. For the rest, the withheld fields and monthly updates, get a Radar API key (docs). Each row's fliar_profile_url opens the company's full profile on Fliar.

Full dataset on request

This release publishes about 100,000 apps. The complete dataset of 1.1 million apps (every app with 1,000+ installs, with the same columns) is available on request for research, journalism and other fair use.

• Email b2b@fliarbi.com with your name, organisation and a short description of how you will use the data, or
• use the Fliar contact page.

Exact install counts, install growth and install history are not part of the request dataset; they come from the Radar API.

Method

1. Crawl. Store pages were read between 7 and 8 June 2026 from the US storefront. Apps with fewer than 1,000 installs are left out.

2. Install band. installs is the public band label. For 98 apps the label was missing; the band was filled from the exact count, rounded down to the nearest public band.

3. Ratings. Score, ratings and reviews are blank when the store page showed no rating (a zero count is treated as not shown).

4. Dates. Release dates come in several text formats and were parsed to YYYY-MM-DD. Dates before October 2008 or after June 2026 are blank.

5. Developer domain. The developer website is reduced to its registered domain. Social pages, link shorteners and code hosts are blanked, as are hosts shared by ten or more unrelated developer accounts (ads.txt placeholders, site builders, free hosting). A domain is kept anyway when the package name matches it (com.facebook.* and facebook.com) or the developer name contains it.

6. Removed. All developer contact fields (email, address, phone, legal name and legal contacts) are dropped. Apps whose title, developer or package names a data provider, and titles carrying a phone number, are dropped. Prices above $400 are blanked.

7. Sample. Each developer key is ranked by sha1(key). Keys are taken in rank order until the file holds max(25%, 5,000) rows (capped at 100,000).

8. Profile links. Links are built from Fliar's company index and checked against it. A row whose company has no public profile has an empty link.

Available only through the Radar API: exact install counts (the API returns the real number behind the band); year-on-year install growth; install history over time; rating histogram and full listing description; the developer's linked company profile (funding, financials, team); the rest of the 1.1 million apps and the monthly refresh.

Limitations

• Read from the US storefront: apps not offered in the US often show no rating and no release date.
• Only about a third of apps show a rating; small apps usually do not have enough ratings to display one.
• Install bands are wide (for example 1,000,000+ covers 1M to 5M). Exact counts are in the API.
• A snapshot of June 2026: apps removed from the store before the crawl are not included.
• One developer may run several developer accounts; each account is counted separately.
