Quick answer

App store keyword research is finding which keywords are worth targeting by seeing which apps currently rank for them in the App Store and Google Play. ReachFront's keyword research tool pulls the live ranking for any keyword — by country and per store — so you can see how competitive a term is, where your app sits, and which keywords are actually worth targeting, with the searches you care about saved to revisit.

How it works

Check any keyword in three steps

Type a keyword

Enter any search term your users might type. No setup, no keyword list to import — just the phrase you're curious about.

See the live ranking

We pull the current App Store or Play Store results for that keyword, so you see the real apps ranking today, in order.

Compare and save

Switch country, toggle stores, and save the keywords you're tracking so you can watch how the ranking moves over time.

The basics

Why live rankings beat search volume alone

Keyword research for apps usually starts with a volume number, but volume without competition is only half the picture. A keyword thousands search for is worthless if ten entrenched apps own the top spots — and a smaller, specific keyword you can actually rank for can drive more installs.

The way to tell the difference is to look at who's ranking right now. If the top results are giant, generic apps, the term is a wall. If they're weak listings or apps only loosely related to the query, that's a gap you can win with better metadata.

The Keyword Rank Checker gives you that live view for any term, on either store, in any country. See the real ranking, judge how beatable it is, save the keywords worth targeting, and feed the winners straight into your listing.

The difference

Judging a keyword by volume vs. by live rankings

	Volume alone	With the rank checker
What you see	A search-volume number with no idea who you'd be up against.	The real apps ranking for that keyword right now, in order.
Judging difficulty	Assume a high-volume keyword is automatically worth chasing.	See at a glance whether the top spots are a wall or a winnable gap.
Per store	Treat iOS and Android as if they rank the same way.	Toggle the App Store and Google Play, which rank the same keyword differently.
Per market	Ignore that rankings differ by country.	Check any country to see how a keyword plays where your users are.
Tracking over time	Re-check by hand and try to remember last month's order.	Save the keywords you're tracking and watch the ranking move.

What the rank checker gives you

Key facts

Keyword Rank Checker at a glance

Search volume without competition is only half the picture — who ranks now tells you if a keyword is winnable.
A specific keyword you can rank for often drives more installs than a broad one you can't.
App Store and Google Play rank the same keyword differently, so each store needs its own check.
Rankings vary by country, so the term to target depends on the markets you're shipping to.

Frequently asked

Keyword Rank Checker, answered

Is the ranking data live?

Yes. Type a keyword and the checker pulls the current App Store or Google Play search results, so you see the apps ranking today, in order — not a cached estimate.

Can I check different countries and both stores?

Yes. Pick any country and toggle between the App Store and Google Play, since rankings differ by market and by store for the same keyword.

How does this help my ASO?

Seeing who ranks tells you how competitive a keyword is and whether it's winnable. You save the beatable ones and target them in your listing — that's the core of ASO keyword research.

Is this a keyword research tool or a rank tracker?

Both. Type any keyword to research it by seeing who ranks live, and save the terms you care about to track how their rankings move over time, per store and per country.

Do App Store and Google Play results differ?

Yes, often significantly. The two stores rank the same keyword by different signals, so the checker lets you toggle between them and check each country separately.
