Where you stand in the store
Not one rank — where all your keywords sit
How many of your terms are in the top 3, how many in the top 10, and whether that count moved this week. Ranked, not listed and not measured stay apart: folding the last two together flatters the picture.Which rank band each keyword sits in, day by day.The ratings wall, not a difficulty score
The number beside a term is how many ratings the strongest app in its top 10 carries: the raw count under the difficulty score, so you see the wall you have to clear.The number you have to pass to enter a term, term by term.
Competitors are profiled, not counted
An app that hasn’t shipped in a year is a different opponent than one shipping monthly — and that is a date, not an opinion.Who is ahead of you, what they do differently, how often they ship.
Gaps into text, inside the hundred characters
Apple indexes title, subtitle and the keyword field together. Repeating a title word costs characters and buys nothing, so those words are dropped.Title, subtitle and the keyword field, side by side.
A term nobody searches is not a gap
Autocomplete is asked for every term in the same pass as the rank. Zero suggestions is a measurement and we print the zero. A failed request is not, and never becomes one.Which of the terms you are missing anyone actually searches for.

How do you access my app?
Rank tracking needs no access: we read the public face of the store (search results, the app page, autocomplete, reviews). All it takes is your app's store link and an email address. For revenue and ad screens you can optionally connect App Store Connect, Play, RevenueCat or Apple Ads.
What happens on a day you can't measure?
That day is written as "not measured" and the chart breaks the line. We never write zero. A zero rank describes a collapse that didn't happen, and once it enters the history every average built on top of it is wrong. Averages are computed over the days we could read.
Are the ranks identical to the store?
Apple's public search service tracks store ranking closely but isn't guaranteed identical, and the store personalizes per user. That's why movement matters more than the absolute number — 7 and 30-day deltas sit next to every rank.
Why top ~30 on Android?
Google Play offers no official search service; its search page returns roughly 20-30 results at a time. We print the depth we saw: "not ranked" here means "not in the first ~30".
Which language slot should my keywords go in?
The slot the storefront actually indexes. In the Türkiye storefront the second listing slot is English (U.K.); a Turkish keyword written into the wrong slot never enters search. The keyword field packer shows the second slot for the store country you pick, with no account.
How often is the data refreshed?
One measurement pass runs every night, reading roughly 800 keyword×country units. Select more than that and countries rotate, so each refreshes on the interval the screen prints. You can also start a measurement by hand — 3 a day on Free, 10 on Pro, 25 on Studio.
What don't you measure?
Three things. Search volume: Apple keeps it private; you get a 0–100 demand signal, a band and its basis. A rival's real downloads and revenue: only labelled App Intelligence estimates. Past our read depth (top 200 on the App Store, top 30 on Play) no rank is guessed; we say "not in the top 200".
