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.

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.
