Create your account
Sign up with Google, or with an email and a password; an email account is confirmed with a six-digit code. Your workspace opens with one box: paste your store link or type the app's name.

Add your app: App, Storefronts, Keywords
The wizard has three steps, and your draft is kept if you refresh the page.
- App: paste an App Store or Google Play link, or search by name. The matching listing in the other store is looked up for you, and an app that isn't out yet can be added by name.
- Storefronts: the countries where the app is live are listed and the best ones are ticked, up to your plan's limit. Free measures 2 at a time; click a locked country to swap it in.
- Keywords: each storefront starts with words from your title and subtitle. With App Store Connect connected, your real keyword field comes in instead. Add more from the suggestions or type your own.
A keyword counts once per storefront: Free has 50 slots, so one keyword in two storefronts uses two.
Your first ranks
Press Start measuring and the app opens at once. The numbers fill in as they arrive.
- The Measuring pill at the top lists each storefront as it finishes. A new app's first measurement takes a few minutes.
- A keyword you add while it runs is measured as soon as the current run ends.
- From then on every keyword is measured daily, and new apps, keywords and storefronts as soon as you add them.
- Competitors need no setup: they are found for you, and you can add your own on All competitors.
The Getting started list
A Getting started pill at the top counts seven steps. It opens by itself once the first measurement is done:
- Track your app's keywords.
- Find your competitors. This one completes itself.
- See changes as they happen: connect Telegram, Slack, Discord or a webhook.
- Connect your store account: App Store Connect, or Google Play for an Android-only app.
- Connect your revenue: RevenueCat, Adapty or AdMob.
- Track a suggested keyword.
- Prepare your first listing draft.
A step you don't need, such as revenue when you use no subscription service, can be marked as not used.
Connect your accounts
Connections live under Settings → Connections. Each one fills the screens that need it, and every screen works without the ones you skip.
