Search, reviews and similar apps are the obvious half and are widely available. Version history tells you how often a team ships and what they say they changed, which is the closest public signal to whether a product is maintained. The privacy and data-safety disclosures are the other underused surface — they are self-declared, mandatory and comparable across competitors, which makes them unusually good material for positioning work. Keeping the two stores symmetric is what makes any of it comparable rather than two separate research tasks.
An app-store intelligence client covering the App Store and Google Play with a symmetric tool set, so the same question can be asked of both platforms.
- Search, details, reviews, similar apps, developer catalogue and search suggestions on each store, deliberately mirrored so a comparison is straightforward.
- The disclosure surfaces that differ by platform: App Store privacy details, and Google Play permissions plus its data safety section.
- app-store-ratings returns the ratings breakdown, and app-store-version-history returns the release history — the record of how a product has actually changed.
- Collection listings on both — iTunes collections and Google Play collections — plus the Play category list.
- Search suggestions from each store, which is the closest thing to store-side keyword data either platform exposes.
Nothing to supply — this reads public store data.
