By Alex Malafeev·Oct 26, 2012·3 min read

Sensor Tower announces the launch of their Keyword Research Tool, designed to aid app developers in researching keywords and evaluating competition. For any keyword, the tool displays the top 25 ranking apps along with comprehensive data including keyword traffic (1-10 scale), iPhone and iPad difficulty scores, number of apps targeting the keyword, and competitor details such as name, icon, rating, pricing, release date, last update, in-app purchases, total reviews, current reviews, and category rankings. This information helps developers gauge keyword competitiveness and identify opportunities.

Users can click on app names to visit iTunes pages. The tool is available through Sensor Tower sign-up, with future features like app download estimates and app keywords planned.

Strong open rates, weak app revenue: your email campaign isn’t broken. Your links are.

Email, SMS, and push are high-intent channels, but a structural gap between click and in-app action causes massive drop-off. CTRs of 30-40% often yield only 1-3% in-app conversion. The root cause is ESP link wrapping, which breaks deep link context and attribution. Fixing the handoff through proper deep linking can double purchase rates and unlock channel performance. Brands must treat the link as a continuation layer, not a redirect, and ensure context survives the transition.
