About AppSpy

AppSpy is an iPhone and iPad app for app developers, marketers and people who follow the App Store. It lets users browse top-ranked apps by category across different country stores, watch how rankings and ratings move, and watch which apps climb or drop in the top charts.

It also supports keyword tracking, where users add keywords for their own or competing apps and view daily ranking charts, and competitor research that compares apps by rankings, reviews and pricing model. AI review analysis summarizes what users like, dislike and request, and swipeable cards help users find ideas for new apps.

AppSpy is published on the App Store by an individual developer. It is free to download with in-app purchases for additional features, so it is a commercial product delivered as a mobile app rather than a self-hosted tool.
