Frequently asked questions
Has the App Store changed its algorithm in Australia recently?
The last store-wide movement in Australia was on September 7, 2026, when 33% of tracked keywords moved by 10 places or more. Neither Apple nor Google announces these updates, so measuring them is the only way to date them.
How is this measured?
Thousands of App Store positions in Australia are recorded every day and compared with the day before. The published number is the share of tracked keywords that moved by 10 places or more, judged against what this market normally does rather than a universal threshold.
Did Google Play move at the same time?
Apple and Google rank apps through independent systems, so a shift on one that leaves the other steady is specific to that store. Every market page shows both, and every detected update is published next to what the other store did in Australia on the same day.
My rankings dropped. Does that mean the algorithm changed?
Only if thousands of other apps moved on the same day. If this page shows a calm day, the cause is far more likely to be your own app: a release that reset your indexing, a metadata change, or a rating drop.
