Data sources
AppCorpus 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 AppCorpus 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).
AppCorpus texts
Summaries, "best for / not for" lists, feature availability, category and
use-case assignments, and the known-gaps notes are written by AppCorpus.
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 coverage counters. Re-checks of existing
apps run continuously; each page shows the date of its last check.
