Support
QueryWatch is built by one person, so support is one email address and a human on the other end of it. There is no ticket portal and no chatbot.
Expect a reply within two working days. Deletion requests and anything involving billing jump the queue. When you write, the property, the date range and the screen you were on make the answer twice as fast — and please never send tokens, passwords or account credentials.

Common questions
Practical things people hit first.
Where do I download it?
Search the App Store or Google Play for “QueryWatch: Search Console App”, or use the store links at the top of querywatch.app. It is free to download on both.
Which devices does it run on?
iPhone running iOS 26 or later, and Android phones running Android 12 or later. Both are native apps — Swift and SwiftUI on iPhone, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on Android — rather than a website in a wrapper.
There is no iPad or Mac layout yet.
How do the alerts decide something is worth a notification?
The relay checks your properties every six hours and compares the latest complete day with the same weekday over the previous four weeks. An alert fires when the change is at least 30 percent, or at least two standard deviations from that baseline — both thresholds are adjustable per property.
You get at most one notification per property per day, and each alert carries the numbers that triggered it so it still makes sense when you read it later.
I signed in and no properties appeared.
QueryWatch can only see properties that are verified in Search Console under the Google account you signed in with. If a client added you to a property, check you signed in with the same account they invited.
If the list is genuinely empty in Search Console on the web too, there is nothing to show yet — verify a property there first.
Can I connect more than one Google account?
Yes, with Pro. Multi-account switching is a Pro feature; the free tier signs in with one Google account at a time.
How do I delete everything?
In the app: Settings, then Privacy and data, then Delete all my data. Without the app: revoke access at myaccount.google.com/permissions and email us to remove any relay row.
Full instructions, including what exists in the first place, are on the delete-my-data page.
How do I cancel or get a refund?
On iPhone: Settings, your name, Subscriptions, QueryWatch, Cancel subscription. On Android: Google Play, your profile, Payments & subscriptions, Subscriptions. Refunds are issued by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com or by Google through Google Play, because the store takes the payment and we never see it.
Email us anyway if something went wrong — we can usually help you make the case.
Something is broken or a number looks wrong.
Email us with the property, the date range and the screen you were on, and a screenshot if you have one. Please do not send tokens or passwords — we never need them.
About the app
What it does, what it costs, and what it deliberately does not do.
Where can I download QueryWatch?
QueryWatch is on the App Store for iPhone (iOS 26 or later) and on Google Play for Android (Android 12 or later), listed as “QueryWatch: Search Console App”. It is free to download, and every Search Console property you have is free to view.
Is there an official Google Search Console app?
No. Google has never released a Search Console mobile app for iPhone or Android. It tested an Android progressive web app with a small group of SEOs in March 2024 and never shipped it.
The mobile web interface at search.google.com works on a phone, but it is a desktop tool in a small window: no push notifications, no home-screen widgets, and slow switching between properties.
Do I have to pay to see all of my properties?
No. Every property you have access to in Search Console is listed on the free tier, with no cap on the number of sites, and the free tier shows real data rather than a teaser.
We charge for depth, not for the number of sites: 16 months of history, push alerts, unlimited watchlist saves, exports and a few other things sit in Pro.
What does Pro cost?
Pro is $4.99 per month or $14.99 per 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 weekly plan and no free trial.
Payment is handled by Apple or Google Play through your store account, and you can cancel any time from your phone’s subscription settings.
Does QueryWatch store my Google account token?
Not by default. On iPhone your refresh token is kept in the Keychain; on Android, Google Play services hold the grant and the app never receives a refresh token. Either way the app talks to Google directly from your device.
Push alerts are the one exception, because something has to check Search Console while your phone is asleep. Turning alerts on gives our relay a credential of its own — our own server in Germany, not a third-party backend service — encrypted at rest, and turning them off deletes it immediately. The app says this before you enable anything.
Is QueryWatch made by Google?
No. QueryWatch is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google LLC. It uses Google’s public Search Console API with your permission, and Google Search Console is a trademark of Google LLC.
Does it track my keyword rankings?
No, and it never will. QueryWatch shows the average position Google itself reports in Search Console for queries your site actually appeared for.
Scraping search results to build a rank tracker breaks Google’s terms of service, so it is a permanent non-goal for this app. If you need daily SERP positions for keywords you do not yet rank for, you need a rank tracker, not this.
Why is my data two or three days behind?
That is Google’s delay, not ours. Search Console performance data is finalised a couple of days after the fact, for everyone, in the API and in Google’s own interface alike.
QueryWatch always labels the last complete day it is showing you rather than quietly presenting a partial day as a full one.
Can I try it without connecting my Google account?
Yes. Demo Mode runs the whole app on a bundled sample dataset for four example properties, including the Pro screens, with no sign-in and a permanent banner so you always know the numbers are not yours.
