A few months ago I shipped Keyword Scout because every ASO tool I could find was either a web or a Mac app best view on a computer. I wanted to do keyword research and competitor analysis on my phone mid-walk, on the couch, or holding a baby at 3am.

I have shipped a few releases with bug fixes since then but 2.0 (and 2.1) have some major updates:

🔍 Analyze any App Store app: Share from Safari or paste a link. You get top opportunity keywords, ranking coverage (what they rank for vs. don't), pain points mined from real reviews, competitors, not generic filler.

This is my new go to. When I find an app in the App Store or someone posts it here on Reddit. I open the link in App Store, tap share, tap Keyword Scout and it runs the report instantly, no searching by app name and trying to find it.

📊 What Moved: Every owned app now gets a release impact report. 14-day pre vs. post rank windows per keyword. Did your title change actually work? This finally tells you.

⚠️ Competitor Changelog: The Pulse tab surfaces every metadata change across competitors you've analyzed. Title swap, subtitle tweak, version bump — detected automatically within 24 hours.

🌍 Multi-country: Re-run any report against 175+ App Store markets in one tap. A keyword with 100 difficulty in the US can be wide open in Brazil.

💬 Pain Points with highlighted quotes: Review complaints clustered by category (Pricing, Stability, Sync, Feature Gap, Ads). The matching word gets highlighted in each quote so you see exactly why a complaint was tagged and where you competitor apps are having trouble.

A few months ago I posted in a home buying subreddit (r/firsttimehomebuyer) asking how people keep track of houses during a search. Spreadsheets, Notes app, Zillow favorites, pure memory. Nobody had a great answer.

So I built Toured improving all their best responses.

You log each house as you tour it, rate it across 7 categories, record voice notes hands-free, and compare side by side when you’re ready to decide. Paste a Zillow or Realtor URL and it pulls the listing details automatically. Neighborhood Intel pulls walk scores, flood zone, schools, air quality, grocery, coffee, etc. Lots of interesting features.

No subscription. No ads. Your data stays on your device.

Happy to answer questions about building it, API usage and issues I hit and how I worked around it or the app itself.

I've been doing a lot of research lately and noticed something in keyword data.

Some keywords score low difficulty and low saturation but still don't perform. Not because the space is crowded but because nobody searches them - a niche.

A rock climbing app could rank #1 for "climb log" tomorrow. It just won't get many downloads from it.

That's not the same as a Saturated keyword where you can't rank because too many apps are competing. It's a completely different problem. Small loyal audience, zero competition, own the category completely and build it up. Worth knowing about, not worth avoiding.

So I added Niche as a verdict tier in Keyword Scout 1.9.

• Strong - high demand, low competition
• Worth a shot - decent demand, manageable competition
• Niche --small audience, ownable, good for category-specific apps
• Avoid - crowded, don't bother

The fastest way to test this is Bulk Search -- paste 20 keywords at once, get scores instantly, then tap any result to see competitor coverage and what users are complaining about in reviews.

1.9 also ships stealable competitor keywords, a daily App Store brief on the Pulse tab, and the free tier now includes 1 Concept App for validating ideas before you build.

A big update of Keyword Scout is available now with many new features.

Drop your niche below and I'll run the keywords for you.

Thanks!
