Single Purpose
The extension analyzes visible review and comment text from supported review pages and converts it into local ASO keyword, phrase, and pain-point insights.
Data Processed Locally
When the user clicks Deconstruct Reviews, the extension may read visible text content from supported pages on Google Play and Product Hunt. This text is processed locally to calculate keyword frequency, phrase frequency, pain-point signals, and CSV export rows.
The extension may also read the active tab URL and title only to detect whether the current page is a supported review source and to include the source URL in a user-initiated CSV export.
Data Not Collected or Transmitted
The extension does not transmit review text, browsing data, CSV content, or analysis results to the developer or to any third party.
