Where the data comes from

The public sources PeekPanda observes, what each contributes, and what PeekPanda does not collect.

Last reviewed October 19, 2026Download Markdown ↓

PeekPanda observes public information. It does not receive an app’s private analytics, customer data, installed-device data, or a company’s internal reporting.

Everything in the catalogue is iOS-focused. PeekPanda does not offer Android coverage or cross-platform totals.

Public App Store information

PeekPanda records publicly available listing and chart information, such as an app’s name, developer, description, release information, price, category, public ratings, and publicly available media links. It also observes public rankings and search results where available.

Case files and charts normally display stored observations rather than fetching a source while you wait. Each observation carries a date so you can judge its currency. Some user-requested actions may start a refresh; those actions return a pending state while the new observation is collected.

Download and revenue figures are PeekPanda estimates, not private reporting. See how estimates are computed.

Keyword data

The ASO workspace uses public App Store search results and suggestions for the US storefront in English. A search position is the position observed in that public response; it is not a native rank guaranteed by the store, search volume, or an advertising-platform popularity score.

Keyword pages show stored observations and their dates. A refresh may collect newer results when appropriate. Search observations are shared: a query collected once can improve the evidence available to later readers without revealing who requested it.

An empty keyword section means the app was not found in the collected query set. It does not prove that the app ranks for no keywords.

Public advertising libraries

PeekPanda may show public advertising-library observations, including creative text and media, destination links, source dates, and the original public record where available. A destination match is presented as evidence, not proof of company ownership.

Spend, budget, and performance are not inferred when they are not publicly disclosed. If a reported reach figure is available, it remains a source-reported figure—not a PeekPanda measurement.

How apps enter the catalogue

Apps can enter through established catalogue coverage, emerging-app discovery, or a direct request. These are separate lanes: an emerging or requested app is not judged by the same admission rule as a long-established listing.

PeekPanda documents the lane so you know why an app is present. A listing’s presence is not an endorsement, a quality score, or proof that it is currently growing.

What tracking your app changes

Tracking an app tells PeekPanda which public ads, posts, queries and listing to collect for your space. It does not connect to the app, install software, access private analytics, or collect information about its users. Your tracked apps and tracked keywords stay private to your space.

What is not a source

No private developer analytics or revenue reporting
No device panel, SDK, or installed-app telemetry
No invented data for a missing public observation
No claim that a name match verifies social-account ownership
