Connect Google Play in 2 minutes instead of 2 days

Connecting your Google Play account to Easy App Reports just got dramatically faster and simpler.

What changed

Until now, connecting Google Play required the Service Account setup:

  • Invite a service account email inside Google Play Console
  • Wait for Google’s validation
  • Come back 1–2 days later to finally see your data

That flow is officially gone: you can now connect Google Play using Google OAuth.

How it works now

Click “Sign in with Google”, select your Google Play account, pick your apps, done ✅

Your data starts syncing immediately. It can take a few minutes or several hours to load depending on how much data you have available. You can check it's status on the "Sync Status" page.

We also updated our Google Play Setup Guide.

Why this matters

  • Setup time: from ~36 hours → ~2 minutes
  • 🧠 Zero configuration: no emails, no permissions guessing, no waiting
  • 🔄 Instant feedback: connect, validate, see data in a few minutes

This removes one of the biggest onboarding frictions we had for Google Play and makes the experience much closer to what you already expect from modern SaaS tools.

Who is this for?

  • New users connecting Google Play for the first time
  • Existing users who want a simpler, more reliable connection method

(The Service Account method is still supported, but OAuth is now the default option.)
