Daily tracker, 2026-10-05: the rating count and average in each country's App Store, and the best position in Apple's top 100 for the category (overall when only that). A dash: not in that top 100. Listing language: whether the App Store listing is in the country's main language. Ads in it: share of the dissected ads in that language.

02Creator types: 19 of 34 creator profiles opened; 15 creators stay "not checked yet" until checked.
03Creator post counts differ for 15 of 34 creators (search hits vs profile count). Tables use the profile count.
04Reviews per month: 514 of 996 fall in the last four months. That is the review feed window, not real volume, so it is not used as a signal.
059 accounts found in searches are left out of the creator counts: 2 point at another app or are named like the app without being it, 7 never name, tag or link it.

Caveats
11
Meta, TikTok EU and Google ad libraries returned 0 for GoodShort
The EU TikTok library only covers EU delivery; EU reach was not read
No ad creative dissection exists
Organic dissection is empty, so storylines and the creator brief are not reconstructed
Instagram profiles collected: none
Card counts on TikTok are the number shown on the card and may be views or likes
@goodshort_video deep read returned 0 posts, so its views are unknown
The X posts tagged as founder posts belong to an unrelated account
Press statements are about revenue and ranking
Reviews are 996 of 527,533 ratings
Estimated channel shares are rough estimates, not data

Paid: every active ad found for the advertiser in the Meta Ad Library with start date and variant count as Meta publishes them; videos fetched for analysis only and deleted after frames, transcript and OCR were derived; one model read per creative into a fixed schema. Organic: public profile counts only. Creators count only when a caption tags, links or names the app (graded per creator). Founder statements quoted verbatim and checked by code. Estimates labelled and linked. Not affiliated with the app or its publisher.
