Frequently asked questions
Has the App Store changed its algorithm in Germany recently?
The last store-wide movement in Germany was on October 8, 2026, when 18% of keywords moved by 10 places or more, about 2.4 times what this market normally does. 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 Germany are recorded every day and compared with the day before. The published figure is the share of keywords whose results moved by 10 places or more, judged against what this market normally does on that same day of the week rather than against 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 Germany 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.
Know which of your keywords moved
This page tells you the store changed. Applyra tells you what it did to your app: daily rank tracking on every keyword you care about, on both stores.
