How to read this
- Popularity
- An estimate from 5 to 100. Apple shows its own score only inside Apple Search Ads, so Keywatch estimates it from autocomplete: the fewer letters it takes before Apple suggests a search, the more people type it.
- Difficulty
- 0 to 100, from the size and ratings of the 10 apps ranking on top. Under 40 is easy, over 70 is hard.
- Results
- How many apps the App Store returns for the search (Apple lists up to about 250).
