01

Check the acquisition promise

Read the store headline, screenshots and description. What problem is the app promising to solve?

Study the storefront ↗
02

Look for ad evidence

Explore apps with direct store-link matches. Compare their hooks and formats without assuming the same approach works here.

03

Separate demand from paid growth

Store rankings and revenue estimates describe market context. They do not establish ad spend, conversions or ROAS.

Other reviewers are right - crashes on the first try

Decided to give the developer benefit of the doubt. My bad. Install and startup went smoothly. Shortened my first URL and the app quit abruptly. Until the developer decides to address this, stay away.

Abandoned app?

Appears the devs have abandon this app.... Would be nice if we could delete the tracking data... It just takes longer and longer and longer to load... Eventually even that will be unusable

★★☆☆☆Scooby Carolan1/26/2010
Worthless to me

So it's my fault for not reading the HUGE description, but even with your API key this CANNOT track links you've submitted over the web. I bought it hoping I could use it with pre-established urls for my website. So if you use your computer & iPhone and want to see both here don't bother.
