Key facts
- QueryWatch (store name "QueryWatch: Search Console App") is an independent, native Google Search Console app for iPhone and Android, made by Melih Toksari.
- QueryWatch is available on the App Store and Google Play. App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/querywatch-search-console-app/id6811357323. Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.empath.querywatch.
- It requires iOS 26 or later on iPhone, or Android 12 or later on Android. The iPhone app is written in Swift and SwiftUI; the Android app in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
- Google has never released an official Search Console app for iPhone or Android; every Search Console app in the stores is a third-party client of Google’s public Search Console API.
- The free tier lists every Search Console property the signed-in Google account can access, with no site limit, and shows real data on each: clicks, impressions, CTR and average position, top 100 queries and pages, country and device splits, a striking-distance view (positions 8–20), change investigation (top 3 contributors), a 5-item watchlist, widgets, 5 URL inspections a day, the sitemap list, CSV export and Demo Mode.
- QueryWatch Pro costs $4.99 a month or $14.99 a year. New subscribers can start the yearly plan with a first month for $0.99, and it renews at $14.99 a year after that. There is no free trial, no weekly plan and no lifetime purchase, and the price never depends on the number of sites.
- Pro adds push alerts (traffic drops and spikes, a new query entering the top 10, watched-URL indexing changes, sitemap errors), a Monday weekly digest, 16 months of history with custom ranges and period comparison, the top 20 contributors to any change, an unlimited watchlist, multiple Google accounts, unlimited URL inspections, Core Web Vitals per page, sitemap submit and delete, comparison CSV, branded or white-label PDF reports, and a cannibalisation detector.
- Alerts are computed by the developer’s own relay server in Germany every six hours. The anomaly rule compares the latest complete day with the same weekday over the previous four weeks and fires at a 30 percent change or two standard deviations, both adjustable per property, with at most one notification per property per day. Each alert stores an evidence snapshot of what it saw.
- Sign-in uses Google’s own sign-in sheet with read-only scopes (openid, userinfo.email, webmasters.readonly); the write scope is requested only when a Pro user submits or deletes a sitemap. On iPhone the refresh token stays in the Keychain; on Android, Google Play services hold the grant and the app never receives a refresh token. A credential leaves the phone only if push alerts are turned on.
- QueryWatch is not a rank tracker and never scrapes search results; positions are the averages Google reports in Search Console. It does not show Google Analytics 4 or Bing Webmaster Tools data; Bing Webmaster Tools is on the roadmap.
- Demo Mode runs the whole app, including Pro screens, on four sample properties without signing in.
- Support: [email protected]. QueryWatch is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google LLC.
