Apolu

What is Apolu

Apolu is an App Store rank tracker and performance dashboard for apps on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It watches Top Free and Top Paid positions across 175 storefronts and covers 26 App Store categories. The product is built for indie developers and small teams that want ranking visibility without stitching together several tools.

It is available free on the App Store, and the site says it runs on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The app requires iOS 18 or macOS 15.6. The developer also says you can start tracking by pasting an App Store link, without creating an account first.

Key features

Apolu focuses on chart monitoring, alerts, and store-side operational data.

• Tracks App Store rankings across 175 countries and storefronts.
• Covers Top Free and Top Paid charts for iPhone, iPad, and Mac apps.
• Shows chart depth down to the Top 100.
• Refreshes major markets every hour; other storefronts refresh at least every four hours.
• Sends push alerts when an app reaches a Top 10 spot, enters a new country, or moves sharply.
• Generates milestone share cards for posting ranking wins on social media.
• Adds a review inbox for apps you own, with filtering by app and rating.
• Supports developer replies that publish back to the App Store.
• Includes a revenue dashboard powered by your App Store Connect sales reports.

The App Store Connect features are optional and use your own API key. The site says the key is encrypted before storage and can be revoked from App Store Connect at any time.

How to use it

1. Paste an App Store link for the iPhone, iPad, or Mac app you want to watch.
2. Start with the free plan to monitor unlimited apps and see Top 25 charts in any country.
3. Open a storefront or category view to check how the app ranks in that market.
4. Upgrade to Apolu PRO if you need full Top 100 history, alerts, reviews, or revenue.
5. If you want review and revenue data, sign in with Apple and connect your App Store Connect API key.
6. Use the inbox to read reviews, filter by app or rating, and publish developer replies.
7. Share milestone cards when an app breaks into a new market or chart position.

Who it is for

Apolu is aimed at app makers who ship to the App Store and manage their own growth work.

• Indie developers who need a simple way to watch chart movement.
• Small teams that want rankings, reviews, and proceeds in one workflow.
• Launch-day marketing teams that care about country-by-country traction.
• App owners who need App Store Connect sales data without building a custom dashboard.

It is especially useful if you publish in more than one country, since the product is built around storefront-by-storefront visibility instead of a single global view.

What to know before you use it

Apolu is strong on chart tracking, but it does not claim to do everything. The site says keyword rank tracking and ASO recommendations are not available yet, so you should not expect search-term analysis or automated optimization tips today.

The review inbox and revenue dashboard are optional features, and both depend on your own App Store Connect API key. If you do not connect that key, you still get the ranking tracker and share cards, but not the store-side data.

Revenue figures are described as real numbers from your App Store Connect sales reports, not estimates. That also means the data is limited to the accounts and reports you can authorize.

For official App Store reporting, sales reconciliation, or account-level decisions, use App Store Connect directly. Apolu is best for fast monitoring, alerts, and a consolidated view of app performance across storefronts.

Apolu is a focused App Store rank monitoring tool, and its closing value is that it keeps rankings, reviews, and revenue in one place for teams that want a practical App Store workflow.
