01Faster screens and one history window per plan

v2.24Current9 updates

Storelift now shows each screen's first results within a few seconds and finishes the rest in the background. Ranks, charts, listing changes, reviews and revenue also share one history window: 30 days on Free, 9 months on Pro and up to 18 months on Studio.

01

Keyword discovery shows candidates as it finds them

You no longer wait for the whole run: candidates start appearing within seconds and new ones join the list as they're checked. If a run stops early, you keep every candidate it checked and can run it again.

WhereFind keywords → Keyword discovery.

02

AI answers appear as they're written

Storelift AI shows what it's reading and writes its answer on screen as it goes, and Draft fills in each field as it's written. You can stop waiting at any time, and trying again brings the same answer without using another question.

WhereStorelift AI and Draft, inside each app.

03

Charts show where your history ends

Rank, category, revenue and growth charts mark where your plan's window starts and how far a higher plan goes back, and the date picker adds 9-month and 18-month ranges. When older entries fall outside your window, a row tells you how many there are.

WhereAny chart with a date range.

04

Your usage, where you work

The sidebar shows your plan, how much of your keyword pool you use and the monthly allowance you're closest to using up. AI visibility, Keyword discovery and Draft show this month's count at the top of the screen.

WhereThe sidebar, and the top of those screens.

05

RevenueCat keys, one row each

Add as many RevenueCat keys as you need, one per row, with no limit of 10; each key is checked on its own, shows its project and apps, and a key that stops working no longer hides the revenue of the others. The Growth tree's country split now uses the same numbers as Downloads & sources.

WhereSettings → Connections → RevenueCat.

Improved

  • Screens open in seconds — Today, All apps, keyword tables and App Intelligence now show what's ready within a few seconds and fill in the rest in the background, with a line that says what is still loading. If part of a screen can't load, it tells you which part instead of leaving an empty box or a loading state that never ends. Where: Every screen, on every plan.
  • One history window per plan — Ranks, category charts, listing changes, reviews and revenue now share one window: 30 days on Free, 9 months on Pro and up to 18 months on Studio. Rank and revenue history gets longer on Pro (was 6 months) and Studio (was 12), and listing changes and reviews move to the same window (before: 90 days on Free, 12 months on Pro, 24 on Studio). Where: The date range at the top of each screen.
  • Keyword research fills in faster — A search in Find keywords shows its first table without waiting for App Store suggestions, which join when they arrive. Measuring a list in several countries now runs them side by side, and each row fills in as soon as its numbers land. Where: Keywords → Find keywords.
  • API requests cover your whole window — One Storelift API or MCP request can now ask for up to 9 months on Pro (was 90 days) and up to 18 months on Studio (was 12 months), the same range as the panel. Where: Any history request through the Storelift API or MCP.

02Storelift version 2 is live

v2.012 updates

Every screen has been redrawn, the app now reads in 10 languages, and your keywords, ranks and history carried over as they were.

01

A new interface, in 10 languages

Every screen was redrawn so the first thing you see is where you stand and what moved since yesterday. The whole app now reads in English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Español, Français, Português, Русский, 日本語, 한국어 and 中文.

WhereThe language follows your browser; change it in Settings.

02

Growth screens on every plan

Today, Growth tree, Revenue and Users now open on Free as well, with the last 30 days. Connect RevenueCat or Adapty and the revenue lines fill in.

WhereToday at the top of the menu; connections under Settings → Connections.

03

Storelift Hive — history from the first day

Hive keeps rank, chart, rating and store listing history for each storefront. When Hive has already seen your app or a keyword you add, its history is there from the first day.

WhereKeyword tracking, inside each app.

04

Apple Ads next to your organic rank

Apple Ads has its own section, right below ASO. Each keyword's paid spend sits on the same row as its organic rank. Rules change bids for you, and every change can be undone from Change history.

WhereConnect Apple Ads under Settings → Connections, then open Apple Ads → Performance.

05

App Intelligence — any app from one link

Paste an App Store link and the app opens with its ratings across 72 stores and the rivals it competes with. On Pro and Studio its revenue and downloads open too.

WhereApp Intelligence, in the menu.

06

Keyword discovery and the AI keyword planner

Discovery brings keyword candidates for your app, and the AI keyword planner turns your measured ranks into a short list of what to add next.

WhereFind keywords → Keyword discovery and AI keyword planner.

07

Hive Explorer — the whole app market in one tool

Open any app and see its top chart positions, downloads, revenue and the keywords it ranks for, and get an alert when something changes. Explorer is its own product and works with or without an app of yours on Storelift.

WhereOn its own page: storelift.net/explorer.

08

Hive API and MCP — the market in your code and your assistant

With Hive API you can pull charts, downloads and revenue, keywords and store listings for any app as JSON. The MCP server brings the same data into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, so you can ask in plain words. One credit balance runs both.

Wherestorelift.net/hive/api for the API, storelift.net/mcp-server for the MCP address.

09

App Store search preview, a free tool

Paste an App Store link or type an app's name and see its row in iPhone search results: one wide image or three screenshots, the video, the subtitle and the iOS 27 search image. A short check shows what is ready for search, with a suggestion for each gap and a card you can share.

WhereFree tools, no account needed: storelift.net/tools/search-preview.

Improved

  • Screenshots shows how you look in search — The Screenshots screen now shows what appears under an app in search, one wide image or three portrait screenshots, for your app and for your competitors. It tells you when your iPhone screenshot sets point different ways, and when a product page test is live, its screenshot sets show up too. The free App Store account audit notes each app's look in search as well. Where: Store page → Screenshots, inside each app.
  • Corrected searches and two new keyword cards — When the App Store corrects a search to another spelling, keyword research marks that row and gathers those terms under Corrected searches, and the keyword's page links to the spelling the search lands on. Each keyword's page also lists the top 10 apps that have gone more than a year without an update, and keeps Apple's own apps apart from your real competitors. Where: Keywords → Find keywords; the cards are on each keyword's page (Keyword anatomy).
  • More competitor moves, and how often an app ships — Competitor updates now also shows when a rival changes its publisher and when it changes the iOS version it requires. App Intelligence adds how often an app ships: the usual gap between its updates and how many it shipped in the last 30 days. On Free, competitor updates cover the last 7 days. Where: Competitors → Competitor updates, inside each app; App Intelligence in the menu.

03From rankings to revenue

v1.627 updates

Storelift now reads your reviews and revenue as closely as your ranks — and answers questions about all three.

01

Today — your app, live

Live users in the last 30 minutes, opens hour by hour against yesterday and last week, today's ad earnings, new trials and payments, and fresh reviews — on one screen. Pick any of the last 30 days to see how that day went.

WhereToday, at the top of the menu. Works for one app or your whole portfolio.

02

Storelift AI — ask your own data

Ask in plain language why a rank dropped or which keyword to add, and get an answer worked out from your rankings, reviews and revenue. Every figure is read from your account, never invented.

WhereApp → Pro tools → Storelift AI.

03

Review AI — what your reviews are really about

Reviews are grouped into topics with the exact quotes behind each one, and a reply is drafted for you. Send it to the App Store from the same screen.

WhereApp → Reviews → Review AI.

04

Revenue after the install

Connect RevenueCat or Adapty and Storelift follows each install through trial, payment and refund — by country, source and campaign. Apple Ads spend is matched to that revenue, so ROAS shows per campaign and per keyword.

WhereSettings → Connections, then the Revenue and Apple Ads screens.

05

Growth tree and Changes and impact

Revenue is split into impressions, page conversion, downloads, payers and revenue per payer, so you see which link moved it. Changes and impact then compares installs, trials and revenue before and after each version, screenshot or keyword change.

WhereApp → Growth → Growth tree, and Growth → Changes and impact.

06

Global Localization — all 175 storefronts

We scan every App Store storefront for missing languages, screenshots and availability, then write the full listing for each gap. Every keyword is checked in that storefront before it goes in.

WhereApp → Pro tools → Global Localization.

07

App Intelligence — any app, 62 stores

Look up any App Store app and see its downloads and revenue across 62 stores, one figure each. Hive, the memory inside Storelift, already knows them.

WherePro tools → App Intelligence.

04A rival's installs and revenue, one tap away

v1.58 updates

Open any rival and see how many installs it gets a month and what it earns, next to the terms where it beats you.

01

A rival's monthly installs

Open any rival and see its monthly installs and how they changed since the previous month, on the App Store and Google Play.

WhereApp → Rivals → open any rival. Under Listing facts.

02

Rival revenue

The same card now shows what a rival earns in a month, next to its installs.

WhereSame card as monthly installs.

03

Monthly search volume on the keyword table

Next to the 0–100 demand score there is now a monthly search band, so you can see roughly how many searches a term gets. An empty cell means no figure yet, never a zero.

WhereApp → Keywords, and on the Overview table. Hide it from the Columns menu.

04

Add a rival by hand

Paste an App Store or Google Play address and that competitor is measured alongside the ones we found above you — including the terms where it beats you.

WhereApp → Rivals → Add rival.

05

The Play rating distribution, on Android

Reviews now draws the star breakdown for your Android app. Where there is no breakdown to show, the screen says so instead of drawing five bars at zero.

WhereApp → Reviews → Android.

06

How a rival earns its money

See which ad networks a rival sells its ad space through, by name. When none are listed, the screen says so rather than claiming "no ads".

WhereApp → Rivals → open a rival → How it earns.

07

Keyword ideas for Google Play

The Android idea list now carries more suggestions for every term you track, so Google Play ideas are as rich as App Store ones.

WhereApp → Keywords → Ideas, with Google Play selected.

Improved

  • Three more surfaces in the API and the MCP server — The store page, reviews and chart position were on screen but not in the public API, so an assistant asking "why did my rank drop" could only see rank. All three are endpoints now, and the MCP server went from five tools to eight. Where: Settings → API keys for the endpoint list. MCP: npx storelift-mcp.

05The number Google keeps to itself, next to the rank we measure

v1.48 updates

Play Console reports, per search term, how many people reached your listing and how many installed. We had been collecting it since January and no screen read it.

01

Google Play's search-term acquisition, next to your measured rank

That file is now a table, with the rank we measured for the same term beside it: not "you moved to third" but "third place brought 41 visitors and 6 installs". Apple publishes no such breakdown for anyone.

WhereApp → Revenue → Play search terms.

02

Paste a whole keyword list — and copy it between storefronts

One per line, or split by comma, semicolon or tab; a space is not a separator, so a phrase stays one term. A list you already track can be copied to another country.

WhereApp → Keywords → Bulk add.

03

The date range and the storefront live in the address

A link you send now opens on the range, country and platform you were looking at, instead of the other person's defaults. A range longer than your plan's window is clamped rather than drawn empty.

WhereAny measurement screen — the address follows the selectors.

04

Every column explains itself

Difficulty, visibility, demand, monthly volume and the review gap were explained nowhere. Each column heading now carries a mark that says what the number means and what an empty cell means.

WhereApp → Keywords — the mark next to a column heading.

05

Keyword tags

Group tracked keywords however you think about them and filter the table by one tag or two at once. A tag follows the keyword into every country you track it in.

WhereApp → Keywords → the Tags column, or the chips above the table.

06

Alert thresholds, scope and channel are yours

You now set how far a rank has to fall before you hear about it, whether alerts cover every keyword and rival or only the ones you picked, and which channel carries them. The same alert never goes to two channels.

WhereSettings → Alerts.

Improved

  • Version marks on three more charts — Listing changes — a new version, new screenshots, an in-app event, an editorial placement — were only marked on the Changes screen. Overview, a keyword's own screen and Growth draw them too now. Where: App → Overview, a keyword's own screen, and Growth — under the rank curve.

Fixed

  • Four screens got a door — Markets, Storefront comparison, Category and First run opened only if you typed the address; they are in the header menu now. Alongside them: changing screen returns you to the top, destructive actions ask first, and six different "saved" notes became one. Where: App → Overview → the screen menu in the header.

06Five changes shipped this week

v1.35 updates

All five come from the same idea: we already measure more than we show you.

01

Ranks 101–200 are no longer thrown away

We search 200 positions deep but the charts stopped at 100, so a keyword sitting at 150 looked exactly like one that was nowhere. Those positions now have their own band.

WhereAny app → Keywords. The band appears in the history you already have.

02

The ranking chart is now a full chart

Rank distribution over time, your version and screenshot changes marked on the same timeline, and a visibility panel sharing the X axis. Click a band to filter the table under it.

WhereApp → Keywords. Export from the chart's own menu.

03

Visibility map

One score per country, on a map, with the table beside it. Untracked countries stay grey and unmeasured ones are hatched, so neither ever looks like a zero.

WhereApp → Markets.

04

Three more ways to slice the distribution

Besides rank: demand on a labelled 0–100 scale, brand keywords decided by matching real listings, and head-to-head against a rival you pick.

WhereApp → Keywords → the axis selector above the chart.

05

Keyword discovery

Discovery suggests keywords that fit your app and your rivals, and shows where you actually rank for each. A candidate is one measurement: date stamp, no trend line.

WhereApp → Keywords → Discover. Promoting one counts against your keyword limit.

07What is next

What is being worked on, in order. No dates: a date that slips takes the weight out of everything else the product says.

01

Your own marks on the chart

We already mark version and screenshot changes; next are your own — a campaign start, a price change, a press mention.

02

A rival's store-page history

For a rival the only date we hold is its version date; next is when its title, subtitle and screenshots changed — usually where the explanation for a jump is.

03

Scheduled exports

Every table downloads as CSV, PDF and PNG today; next is the same output landing in your inbox on a weekly schedule.

Frequently asked

Can I get these by email?

Yes. If product updates are on for your account, the same text arrives by email with each release. You can turn it off in Settings.

How are versions numbered?

In sequence: v1.5 follows v1.4. It is not tied to the calendar — two releases can go out on the same day, and the date is printed next to the version anyway. The product ships continuously, so there is no upgrade step: when a release goes out it is already in your account.
