Yes. iPhone and iPad rankings are tracked separately since search results differ between devices. You can toggle between them.

Question 10

Popularity (0-100) indicates how frequently a keyword is searched. Competitiveness (0-100) measures how hard it is to rank for that keyword based on the quality and strength of competing apps.

All data comes directly from the App Store via Apple’s APIs: iTunes Search API for results and the Hints API for popularity signals. No third-party estimates.

Question 12

Can I search keywords in different countries?

Yes. Select any App Store country from the dropdown. Popularity and competitiveness scores are country-specific, so the same keyword may score very differently across markets.

Question 13

Can I export my keyword data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Export keyword rankings as CSV or JSON. Pro and Business plans also support copying data directly to clipboard.

Question 14

How does competitor keyword discovery work?

We extract seed keywords from each app’s name, subtitle, and genre categories, plus keywords from our search result cache. Then we verify each keyword by searching the App Store to confirm which apps actually rank for it.

Question 15

Accepted Answer

It generates optimized titles, subtitles, descriptions, and keywords using Anthropic’s Claude. You can set the tone and specify must-include or must-exclude keywords.
