This is the gap most teams buy a tool to close.** Keywords Intelligence tracks positions daily in every country you sell in, shows the terms competitors rank for and you do not, and connects those terms to installs through Downloads by Keywords.

Semantic Tags sort every new Google Play review by topic as it lands, with sentiment, keyword, app version and country attached, and AI Review Summaries turn each pile into a few readable lines. ![Automation Performance report in AppFollow: reply rate, reply time and reply effect](https://get.appfollow.io/hubfs/appfollow_c6cd5b15-bda8-4883-b231-142ba74140cc.png) ### Auto-reply and Automation PerformanceReply to every Google Play review without opening Play Console **Google gives you one public reply per review and English-only suggestions.

Nothing to release. ✓Daily keyword positions, by country ✓Review sentiment grouped by cause ✓Named competitors, not anonymized peers ✓Slack alerts the day a number moves FAQ ## Google Play analytics questions, answered What is Google Play analytics? Store-side data about an Android app: installs, ratings, review volume and sentiment, keyword positions and category rank. Play Console reports on apps you own. Keyword rankings, named competitor data and review sentiment come from tools that read the public store. Does Google Play Console show keyword rankings? No. Play Console covers installs, ratings, reviews and anonymized peer benchmarks. It will not tell you which search terms your app ranks for or where it sits for each one. That is the most common reason teams add AppFollow on top of it. Do I have to connect Play Console to use AppFollow? Only for your own numbers. Connecting unlocks installs, uninstalls, revenue and review replies. Keyword positions, ratings, review sentiment and competitor tracking run on public store data and need no connection. Can I reply to Google Play reviews from AppFollow? Yes, from AppFollow, Slack, Zendesk, Helpshift or Discord. Auto-reply covers repetitive cases on your rules, AI drafts the rest, and Auto-translate handles languages your team does not read. Google allows one public reply per review, editable at any time. Can I track a competitor's Android app? Yes, any public app on Google Play, with nothing to connect. You get their ratings and review themes, the keywords they rank for, metadata and screenshot changes, and version updates. Play Console shows only anonymized benchmarks, so it cannot name who moved. How long does setup take? Paste a Google Play URL and public tracking starts immediately. Connecting Play Console is an OAuth step your admin approves. There is no SDK, no app release and no engineering work involved. Does AppFollow cover the App Store as well? Yes. One account tracks iOS and Android side by side, plus Steam and Trustpilot. Cross-platform reporting is a main reason teams add it on top of the native consoles, since Play Console and App Store Connect never share a dashboard. See [iOS app analytics](https://appfollow.io/ios-app-analytics). Is there a free trial? Ten days, no card. Add your Android app, connect Play Console if you want install and revenue data, and add a competitor in the same session. Tracked app limits and report depth depend on plan.
