Google Forms App Store Search: 120 Results, 77 Distinct Apps
pipiform’s archived August 20, 2026 CSV contains 120 storefront records representing 77 distinct app IDs across searches for “google forms” in the US, UK, and Japan. Only 15 app IDs appear in all three sets of results.
These are counts from a historical search sample. They are not the number of Google Forms apps available worldwide, downloads, active users, or a current App Store ranking.
Calculated from the published August 20, 2026 CSV. Counts refer to storefront records, not globally distinct apps.
Data and method
Download the original historical sample. Each row includes a snapshot date, storefront, app ID, displayed name, seller, rating information, download price, currency, and listing URL.
For this reanalysis, we grouped rows by storefront and deduplicated apps by app_id. There are no duplicate storefront-and-app-ID pairs in the file. An app appearing in two countries contributes two rows but only one distinct app ID.
The earlier collection notes describe queries for “google forms” with entity=software in US, GB, and JP and a requested result limit of 50. The CSV itself does not preserve every original request parameter or raw API response, so this article verifies calculations from the archived CSV rather than independently re-creating its collection.
Apple’s Search API documentation defines country and result-limit parameters. A requested limit is not proof that the query exhausts an entire app category. A new query would produce a new snapshot, not reproduce this historical file exactly.
Finding 1: Storefront rows are not unique apps
| Measure | US | UK (GB) | Japan (JP) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rows in the sample | 39 | 42 | 39 |
| Rows whose seller field is Google LLC | 6 | 7 | 19 |
| Rows with a zero download-price field | 39 | 42 | 38 |
The combined row count is 120, but deduplication produces 77 app IDs. Therefore, describing this file as “120 Google Forms apps” would overstate both the number of distinct apps and the relevance of all returned results.
Search results include other kinds of software. The seller field identifies the publisher recorded in the sample; it does not classify an app’s features.
Finding 2: Only 15 IDs appear in all three result sets
| Compared result sets | Shared app IDs |
|---|---|
| US and UK | 24 |
| US and Japan | 17 |
| UK and Japan | 17 |
| All three | 15 |
An app missing from a query result is not necessarily unavailable in that country. It may simply not have appeared for that query. This distinction matters when evaluating claims about regional app availability.
For a reproducibility check, inclusion–exclusion gives the same distinct-ID count: 39 + 42 + 39 − 24 − 17 − 17 + 15 = 77.
Finding 3: Zero download price does not establish total cost
There are 119 zero-price rows and one nonzero-price row. The nonzero row belongs to a music-player listing returned in the Japan search, illustrating that search matches are not a curated list of Forms tools.
The CSV does not contain subscription prices or in-app-purchase terms. It therefore cannot establish that 119 entries are free to use for every task. Nor can the rating-count field be converted into downloads, revenue, or active users.
Disclosure: pipiform is represented
Our app, ID 6468928038, appears in all three storefront samples under seller “BurningFlower Inc.” Its displayed name differs by storefront, while the ID remains the same. That is why this analysis matches on app ID rather than title.
pipiform publishes this research and sells an independent iOS companion app. The dataset is not a neutral product recommendation or a quality ranking. We do not use its rating counts to claim that our product is better than another.
What readers can use this for
Use the file to inspect this historical query sample, check how app IDs recur across storefronts, or verify the tables above. When citing it, include the query, countries, and August 20, 2026 date.

Turn the app search into a workflow decision
On iPhone and iPad. Forms for Google Drive is our iPhone/iPad product. Evaluate it with a real task such as editing a question and reviewing a response; its presence in this dataset is disclosure, not evidence of superior quality.
With the Workspace add-on. A desktop creator may need GPT for Google Forms instead of an iOS app. It drafts forms from source content inside the Google Forms workflow. Workspace add-ons are outside this App Store dataset, so these search results do not compare their quality or availability. See GPT for Google Forms by pipiform for the product workflow.
