App store performance monitoring that shows why downloads changed
See which keywords earn installs, whether a drop came from reach or conversion, and what users are saying about it, by country, on the App Store and Google Play.

Trusted by top companies and millions of apps
Where did your app store performance change?
Fewer people
find your app
Check if your app lost keyword positions or category rank in a market that matters.
People find it,
but fewer of them install
Compare search downloads with store conversion for the same period and see where the drop starts.
Ratings or reviews
have shifted
Find the complaints behind the change and see if a new issue is picking up speed.
See which keywords bring downloads, not just rankings
A keyword can look great in a ranking report and still bring almost no installs. AppFollow shows each term's share of search downloads next to its position, so you can see which rankings pay off and how that changes over time.
Branded searches are marked separately. You'll know how much of your search traffic comes from people who already know your name, and where your ASO plan still has room to grow.
App store analytics that separate
reach from conversion
AppFollow's app store performance analytics put visibility, downloads, and conversion on one timeline, by country and period. When search downloads fall, check two things:
- Did visibility drop? Look for lost keyword positions or a slide in category rank.
- Did visibility hold? Then conversion changed, and your next store listing test has a clear target.
Stay ahead of
the competition
A 10% drop in search downloads means one thing if the whole category slowed down, and something else if one competitor took your keywords.
- Your app: connect your store console to see search downloads, conversion, and which keywords drive installs.
- Competing apps: track visibility, ranked keywords, category moves, ratings, and reviews from public store data. No access to their accounts needed.
App review monitoring
that goes past the rating
App review monitoring starts where the rating stops. A falling rating tells you when to look. The reviews tell you what users actually ran into.
Phrase Analysis shows which complaints are growing, the rating and sentiment around each one, and the reviews behind every phrase, filtered by market and period. Product and support get real user words instead of a note that says "sentiment is down."

Make sorting feedback
a breeze
Semantic tags sort reviews into topics, like bugs, payments, or feature requests, as they arrive. Scoot tags 90% of its reviews automatically, so the team sees which issue is growing before the rating moves.

Frequently asked questions
What is app store performance monitoring?
App store performance monitoring is tracking how your app performs inside the App Store and Google Play: keyword rankings and search downloads, store visibility and conversion, ratings, and reviews. The goal is to spot a change early and find its cause, whether that's lost keyword positions, a weaker store listing, or a new issue users are reporting in reviews.
Can AppFollow show downloads for individual keywords?
Yes. Downloads by Keywords shows each keyword's share of your search downloads, its rank, and whether it's a branded term. Connect App Store Connect or Google Play Console to see the exact number of search downloads for each keyword.
What can I see about competitor apps?
Everything the stores make public, from keyword rankings and category positions to ratings and reviews. You don't need access to a competitor's store account.
Can AppFollow sort and analyze reviews for me?
Yes. Semantic tags group reviews by topic as they arrive, sentiment analysis shows how users feel by country and period, and Phrase Analysis highlights the complaints that are growing. Scoot, for example, tags 90% of its reviews automatically.
Can my team get alerts when performance changes?
Yes. Set up alerts for rating movement, review spikes, and changes in keyword or category rankings. Notifications go to email, Slack, and other connected channels.
Does AppFollow work with both the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. You can monitor apps on both stores and break performance down by app, country, and period. Some metrics differ because Apple and Google share different data. For example, Google Play counts only first-time downloads toward search downloads.
How is app store analytics different from app performance monitoring?
App performance monitoring (APM) tools track crashes, latency, and errors inside your app's code. App store analytics covers what happens in the stores: visibility, conversion, downloads, ratings, and reviews. AppFollow works on the store side, and reviews often point your team to the crashes worth checking in your APM tool.
