Data sources
Apoku combines public store data with its own evidence layer. The two
are never mixed silently: every field on a page is either a store fact or
an Apoku text, and the evidence block says which is which.
Store facts
- App Store (Apple): name, developer, description, genre, version
history, price, ratings, screenshots, privacy declarations.
- Google Play: the same identity and pricing fields, plus install
buckets where Google publishes them.
A store fact is what the developer published. We record when we observed it
and when the store last updated it (`store_updated_at` on each listing).
Apoku texts
Summaries, "best for / not for" lists, feature availability, category and
use-case assignments, and the known-gaps notes are Apoku's own information
layer. They never copy the store description. Where we have not verified a
function yet, the page shows "Unknown" instead of a guess.
Import and refresh
New apps enter through targeted catalog parses of the two stores. The date
of the last data import is published in
llms.txt together with explicitly named catalog counts. Re-checks of existing
apps run continuously; each page shows the date of its last check.
