Store competition in October 2026

Finding

Three facts drove the 2026-10 listing and offer. Yangmei Studios ships "Charades: Act It Out!" on both stores with 1,366 Play ratings, so the old name read as a copy. The app was outside Play's top 15 for "dumb charades", the term India searches. A rival gave 10,000 cards free against this app's 147.

Proof

The listing proposal, deleted once folded into the listing, read at listing/proposal-2026-10.md at commit 7e29941. The free-card gap is on features/0004-price-ladder.md. Head-term ranks are in metrics/aso/2026-09-14.md. No dated snapshot of the October figures is in raw/.

Verified by

Not rechecked. These are the figures as written at the time.

What it means

The head term "charades" is not winnable now. Compete on "dumb charades", with a clearer offer. Do not go back to the Act It Out name without new facts.
