Every tracked store: ranks, ratings and language support.
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.

Caveats
10
dissection.json does not exist
Logged-out ad libraries can miss ads that are shown only in some countries
Instagram was not collected (profiles collected: none), and no own account was found on TikTok
TikTok counts are the number shown on the card (often rounded to 1000) and are not views
The partner-brief reconstruction rests on 8 posts from 7 creators
No founder quotes are in the inputs: the X posts are news and fan commentary
Press claims on the waitlist, zero ad spend and ARR come from case-study blogs
The estimated shares are rough guesses, not measured;
The advertisers_seen list is keyword noise from the Meta search and was not used
App Store reviews are the public RSS sample of 821 reviews and skew to the 2026 period

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.
