AppGrowing Glossary & Terminology

Understand the metrics, concepts and AI terminology used across the platform.

Metrics & Data

Impressions

The estimated total number of impressions generated by all ads associated with the creative.

Active Days

The number of days the creative has been actively used in advertising.

The number of ads that have used the same creative. A higher number may indicate broader creative adoption or use across multiple ad tests.

The number of unique creatives that use the same clip.

Similar Creatives

The number of creatives similar to the selected creative. This helps track how a creative has evolved through iterations. A higher number generally indicates more creative variations and greater potential for creative reference.

Active Index

A comprehensive indicator of advertising freshness and activity. It is calculated based on recent ad discoveries, combined with market and media data. The index rises or falls with advertising activity and gradually declines to zero when an ad is no longer actively running.

Creative & Ad Concepts

Creatives View

Groups and deduplicates highly similar creatives across ad platforms and products, allowing you to analyze unique creative concepts without duplicate results.

Ads View

Displays ads at the individual ad level. The same creative may appear in multiple ads with different copy or campaign configurations, so repeated ads are displayed separately.

Ads distributed across multiple media placements within the same platform are consolidated by Ad ID (ADID), such as Meta Ads.

Game Tags

App Tags

Tags assigned by our proprietary AI algorithms based on an app's functions and features, including AI-related categories such as AI productivity, AI entertainment, and AI social apps.

Creative Tags

Tags assigned by our proprietary AI algorithms based on the visual and content elements identified in a creative.

Innovative Creatives
