Your rankings dropped.Was it you, or the store?
How far App Store and Google Play search results move, every day, in each country. When thousands of apps move at once, it was not your metadata.
Store
Free, no signup, updated every day.
The last 30 days
Share of tracked keywords moving 10+ places, per day. Red marks a detected update.
Detected updates
Days when a store moved far more apps than it usually does. None of them were announced.
Every market we cover
App Store
How this is measured
Daily
rankings, in every market
Thousands of App Store and Google Play positions, recorded every day and compared with the day before.
10 places
is what counts as moved
A keyword only counts as shaken once it moves ten places or more, so everyday noise stays out of the signal.
2 stores
side by side
Apple and Google rank apps independently, so every update is shown next to what the other store did in the same country.
Frequently asked questions
What is an app store algorithm change?
A change to how the App Store or Google Play ranks apps for a search term. Neither store announces them. From the outside they look like thousands of apps gaining or losing ranks on the same day, which is exactly what this tool measures.
How does the detector work?
Every day we compare the rank of each tracked app on each tracked keyword with its rank the day before, keeping only pairs measured on both days. The headline number is the share of keywords whose apps moved 10 places or more. When that share breaks out of a storefront's own normal range, we call it a store-wide update.
How do you avoid false alarms?
Every market is judged against its own history rather than a universal threshold, and Google Play’s weekly refresh rhythm is accounted for, so a naturally busy Tuesday never counts as an update. Each detected update is then published next to what the other store did in the same country on the same day.
Which stores and countries are covered?
Both the Apple App Store and Google Play, across the markets that matter most for app growth. A market is published once its coverage is deep enough for the reading to be reliable, and new markets are added as coverage grows.
Is it free?
Yes, no signup. Create a free Applyra account to see what an update did to your own keywords rather than to the market as a whole.
