Get details by ID #26

Can this scraper take a URL like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.justyo&hl=en (or the details parameter of it) and give me details like description, screenshot urls, publisher, category, reviews, etc.?

In the README, this feature isn't mentioned as far as I can tell. I only see "Download/parse the details for the first and last entries of the leaderboard", but this feature to do it by an ID or URL would be extremely useful. Already implemented as a helper method?

The examples in the readme do show this, but maybe they are a little confusing. Just create a new App object and pass in the ID as a parameter. Then call the update method on the object. The object will then have the parsed results.
