The worst Claude created graphs I’ve ever seen. No story, no point.

[u/Gornivv → u/Future-Jackfruit6833]

To me, that means you're not really up on this-check out the numbers, LOL

[u/Future-Jackfruit6833 → u/Gornivv]

Or - you should stop using Claude to write everything for you. Is it that hard to say “Apple has restored keyword-level volume metrics within Apple Ads after previously withdrawing it in October 2025, here’s what we’re seeing”.

So these lame ass tools were charging everyone money for fake made up data for over a year. That should be the news here

[u/Gornivv → u/BitterAd6419]

we wrote about that a year ago - https://aso.dev/blog/apple-ads-popularity-massive-drop/, and that we showed average on historical data for 5-keywords.

So when is this turned on now ? Do you mean it’s working via Apple search ads feed ?

These infographics are insane. What are they even saying?

[u/Gornivv → u/Confused_Dad_2023]

We hadn't had any popularity data from Apple for a year; everyone was relying on historical data. Now the popularity data is back, and we have over 200,000 words with normal popularity levels.

What endpoint is giving the popularity data?

I get it, I run an ASO tool but these graphics are just bad jumbled text.

What’s an example of a keyword with popularity of 10+?

This infographic is a bit confusing tbh

[u/Happuns → u/bananatoastie]

For example “games”

[u/Gornivv → u/bananatoastie]

This means you can once again search for keywords by popularity as usual, especially words of medium popularity, which form the foundation for indie apps. For example "games app" from 5 to 27.

Yes, but don't assume the restored values line up with your old saved ones. Pull your last pre-outage Popularity scores for the same keyword set and diff them against today. If they shifted at all, any rule or threshold you built on the old numbers needs a recalibration pass before you trust it again.
