StoreSignal Feature
Global & Custom Collections
Watch the exact slice of the market you care about. StoreSignal gives you pre-built Global Collections — ready-made market lenses by genre, region, and theme — plus Custom Collections you build yourself to track any set of games across Google Play and the App Store.
The Short Version
Collections are how you focus StoreSignal on your market. Global Collections are curated, always-updating lenses — for example "Hyper-Casual Risers," "Match-3 in the US," or "Roblox Top Experiences" — that let you see a whole segment's momentum at a glance. Custom Collections are your own watchlists: hand-pick any games, and every momentum signal, breakout flag, and alert applies to that group. One rule of thumb: if you'd otherwise keep a spreadsheet of games to check, that's a Collection.
How It Works
The Market Is Huge. Your View Should Be Yours.
Nobody needs to watch the entire store. Collections let you carve the market down to the games, genres, and regions that actually affect your decisions — then track them as a single living view.
Two Kinds of Collection
Pre-Built Lenses and Watchlists You Own
Global Collections are curated by StoreSignal and maintained automatically. Pick a lens — a genre, a market, a theme — and instantly see its top movers, breakouts, and momentum leaders without building anything.
Custom Collections are yours. Add any games you want to follow — your titles, your competitors, a shortlist of acquisition targets — and the collection becomes the home base for tracking that exact group over time.
Every collection is powered by the same momentum signals and breakout detection that run across the platform — just scoped to what you chose to watch.
What a Collection Gives You

Scoped Alerts

Cross-Store Grouping
Mix Google Play and App Store titles in a single view of your market.
One-Click Population
Send games from Competitor Discovery or the New Release feed straight into a collection.

Use Cases
Who Uses Collections — and Why
A focused view is the difference between monitoring the market and drowning in it.
Game Studios
Keep a live watchlist of direct rivals
Build one custom collection of the games you actually compete with, and check the whole field's momentum in a single view instead of ten browser tabs.
Publishers
One collection per title, one glance per portfolio
Give every title its own competitive collection, so a portfolio review is a scroll through living views — not a week of manual data pulls.
Analysts & Scouts
Track a thesis, not just a game
Watching "cozy sims" or "idle RPGs in Asia"? A Global Collection turns a market thesis into a dashboard you can check daily.
UA & Growth Teams
Watch the keyword-competitive set
Group the games fighting for the same keywords and audiences you target, and get alerted the moment any of them accelerates.
FAQ
Common Questions
What's the difference between Global and Custom Collections?
Global Collections are pre-built market lenses curated and maintained by StoreSignal — genre, region, and theme views that update automatically. Custom Collections are watchlists you build yourself from any games you choose. Global gets you a segment view instantly; Custom lets you track an exact, hand-picked group.
Can a single collection include both Google Play and App Store games?
Yes. Collections are cross-store, so you can group titles from both Google Play and the Apple App Store into one view — useful for cross-platform franchises and for comparing a game's performance across storefronts.
Do alerts and breakout signals work on a collection?
Yes. Every collection is fully wired into the rest of StoreSignal. You can apply a Smart Alert rule to an entire collection at once, and breakout and momentum signals surface on every game inside it.
How do games get into a Custom Collection?
You can search and add games directly, or send them in with one click from Competitor Discovery and the New Release feed. That means a rival you discover or a launch you spot can go straight onto the right watchlist without leaving the view.
