Instant app metrics added to Play Store pages in Chrome
Play Store Stats, from CodeCraft Labs, is a Chrome extension that adds detailed app intelligence directly into Google Play Store pages for fast competitive research. It extracts download and install figures, exact release and update dates, rating and review counts, app size and version, and flags ads and in-app purchases into a single panel. Designed for Android developers, ASO specialists, and app marketers, the extension shortens lookup cycles and keeps analysis inside the store interface.
What the extension does for on-page app research
The extension positions itself as an on-page research panel for app intelligence aimed at competitive analysis and quick metadata checks. It surfaces exact release and last-update dates, install and download statistics, rating and review counts, app size and current version, and indicators for ads and in-app purchases. Information appears inside a compact panel so users do not need to open separate ASO websites during a single listing review.
How the extension behaves while you browse the store
The developer describes the panel as lightweight and the tool extracts only data visible on the listing, avoiding background collection or account access. The UI integrates into the Play Store layout and reduces extra network requests by reading public page fields, which helps prevent noticeable lag during ordinary browsing. Compatibility with other Chromium-based browsers follows the host browser's memory and tab management.
How privacy and workflow fit together for professionals
The developer publishes a zero-data-collection policy and states the extension reads only publicly visible Play Store fields, not private user records. It places developer contact emails and privacy-policy links in the same panel, which speeds outreach and compliance checks for app publishers. That in-page placement and immediate metadata access are aimed at ASO specialists, mobile marketers, and researchers auditing listings directly on the storefront.
Practical option for listing audits, with a clear scope
The extension is a practical option for developers and ASO professionals who analyze listings directly in the browser; it reduces the friction of switching between web tools. The trade-off is that it surfaces only page-level information and does not replace backend analytics or account-restricted reports. Tip: use the extension for rapid audits and cross-check sensitive metrics against publisher console data when accuracy matters.
