Track your own app and your competitors

Mark your app, pick competitors and see everything they change on one timeline.

4 min readOpen Tracking

Tracking is where the apps, developers and niches you follow live. Start by telling IndieTower which app is yours.

  1. Add your app

    On Tracking → Apps, type its name under “Which app is yours?”, press Find my app and pick it from the list. If we do not hold it yet, we look it up on the App Store and Google Play while you wait.

  2. Mark it as yours

    An app you saved earlier can be marked too: open the menu (•••) on its row and choose This is my app. It moves to the top with a “Your app” tag.

  3. Add competitors

    Under “Suggested”, IndieTower lists likely competitors: apps that rank for your keywords and apps in your category with similar names. Press Add on the ones that matter.

  4. Open the Timeline

    The Timeline tab is a 30-day grid with one row per app. A mark means that app shipped a version or changed its title, subtitle, icon, screenshots or price that day.
