Research before we build.
App Radar is the research tool Luch Dev uses to decide which iPhone apps to make and which keywords to advertise them on. It measures search demand, sizes up competitors and keeps every decision with its evidence.
What it does
One place for every app decision
Luch Dev is a one-person studio that publishes its own apps on the App Store. App Radar replaces spreadsheets and guesswork with evidence that has a source and a date.
Search demand
App Store search popularity from Apple Ads, and Google Search volume and trends for the same topics.
Competitors
Ratings, reviews, prices and release history of the apps already in a category.
Decisions
Each idea gets a score and a build, hold or drop decision, stored next to the evidence behind it.
Google Ads API
How App Radar uses Google Ads data
App Radar reads keyword planning data from Google Ads accounts owned by Luch Dev. It never manages campaigns and never touches another advertiser's account.
- Accounts
- Only Google Ads accounts owned and operated by Luch Dev, reached with the owner's own OAuth sign-in.
- Services
KeywordPlanIdeaService: historical metrics for a list of keywords and a limited set of related keyword ideas.CustomerService: listing our own accessible accounts.- Data read
- Average monthly searches, monthly search volumes, competition level and top-of-page bid ranges, by country and language.
- Volume
- Run by hand when a new app idea is evaluated: a few dozen requests per week.
- Writes
- None. App Radar does not create, change or delete campaigns, ad groups, keywords or budgets through the Google Ads API.
- Storage
- Results are saved to a local database on the owner's computer with their source and date. Nothing is published or resold.
Internal use only
App Radar has no public interface, no sign-up and no customers.
- The only user is Ulad Luch, working on Luch Dev's own apps.
- No third party can access the tool or the data it collects.
- It is not offered, licensed or sold to anyone.
