Campaign Toast

See which posts bring you downloads

Make a tracked App Store link for every place you share your app, from a Reddit post to a podcast ad. Making links is free. When you want to see what each one brought in, Campaign Toast Pro is $9.99 once.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add your app

    Paste its App Store link. The name and icon fill in on their own. Add a Google Play package too if you have one.

  2. 2

    Name a campaign

    One for each place you share it: reddit, newsletter, podcast, the QR code on your flyer. Campaign Toast keeps names inside Apple's rules.

  3. 3

    Copy and share

    Copy the link, the badge HTML, Markdown or a QR code. Every download that comes through it gets counted against that campaign.

What Apple's numbers can and can't show

Pro reads the same campaign reports Apple makes for your account. Apple keeps people anonymous, so it's worth knowing what that means before you buy.

  • In its detailed reports, Apple leaves out any group of fewer than 5 people and adds a little noise, about 2 either way. A campaign that brought 3 downloads may not show at all.
  • Weekly and monthly views lose less than daily ones, because more people land in each group.
  • Apple's reports run about two days behind.
  • Campaign Toast marks small campaigns as "under 5 or none" instead of showing a zero, and tells you how much Apple held back on the daily view.

Your key stays on your device

Your App Store Connect key is saved in the Keychain on the device you add it to. It never goes to iCloud and never comes to us. Campaign Toast uses it to ask Apple for your reports directly. Your apps and campaign names sync through your own iCloud, and the app has no analytics. Read the privacy policy

Questions

Do I need an App Store Connect key to make links?

No. Links, badges, Markdown and QR codes only need your provider token, which is the number after pt= in any campaign link from App Store Connect. The app shows you where to find it. A key is only for Pro.

Is it a subscription?

No. Making links is free with no limit. Campaign Toast Pro is $9.99 once, and you only see the offer if you tap a Pro feature. There are no trials, no pop-ups and no ads.

Does it work for Google Play?

It makes Google Play links with a referrer so Play Console can count them. The Pro download numbers come from App Store Connect, so they cover your App Store downloads.

Why does a small campaign show "under 5 or none"?

Apple leaves out any group of fewer than 5 people from its detailed reports, to keep them anonymous. We'd rather tell you that than show a zero that might not be true. Weekly and monthly views lose less than daily ones.

What kind of key does Pro need?

An App Store Connect API key from your own account. Apple only starts making the reports after an Admin key turns them on, once per app, and the first ones take a day or two to arrive. After that a Sales key can read them. The key is saved on each device you add it to and is never synced.
