Connect your Google account
Tap Sign in with Google. Google shows its own consent screen listing exactly what the app is asking for: the read-only Search Console scope and your basic profile. Approve it and you are in. No password ever touches the app.
Pick a site
Every verified property on your account appears in the site switcher at the top of each screen: domain properties, URL-prefix properties, subdomains, all of them. Switch sites from anywhere, and the report you are looking at updates in place.
Read the reports
Overview, Performance, Indexing, Search and More. Each one is rebuilt for a phone screen with big numbers, change against the previous period and plain-English reasons, instead of a shrunken desktop table.
Read-only from the first tap.
The app uses Google's standard OAuth sign-in, so you authorise it the same way you would any other Google-connected tool. The only data scope it requests is webmasters.readonly. That scope can list your properties and read your reports; it cannot add or remove sites, submit sitemaps, change settings or request indexing on your behalf.
- Sign in with any Google account that has Search Console access, including Workspace accounts.
- Tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain on your iPhone, never on a server.
- Disconnect from Settings at any time, which also revokes the token with Google.
- Prefer to look first? Open the built-in demo and explore a sample site without signing in at all.
Every property, one switcher.
The site switcher sits at the top of every tab. Tap it and you see each property Google has verified for your account, with the one you are viewing marked. There is no limit on the number of sites, on the free tier or on Pro. Agencies and freelancers with dozens of client properties can move between them in a couple of taps.
- Domain properties (
sc-domain:example.com) and URL-prefix properties both appear. - No per-site charge and no site cap: the free tier already shows recent data for all of them.
- Agencies and freelancers can keep every client property in one place.
The same data, laid out for a phone.
Google Search Console is a desktop website. The app takes the same numbers from the same API and gives each report a layout that works on a 6-inch screen: one headline figure, the change against the previous period, a chart you can read at arm's length, and lists you can scroll with a thumb.
- Performance: clicks, impressions, CTR and position by query, page, country and device.
- Indexing: how many pages are on Google, and the reason behind each one that is not.
- URL Inspection: coverage, last crawl, canonical and mobile usability for any page.
- Core Web Vitals and Sitemaps from the More tab.
From Google to your iPhone, nothing in between.
Where the data comes from
Every number in the app comes from Google's own APIs: the Search Console API for performance, indexing, sitemaps and URL inspection; the Chrome UX Report API for real-user Core Web Vitals; and the PageSpeed Insights API for lab scores. The app calls those APIs directly from your iPhone with your own token. There is no server of ours relaying, caching or looking at your data.
How fresh it is
Search performance data in Google Search Console runs a day or two behind real time, and the app shows what Google has. Responses are cached on the device for up to 24 hours so the app opens instantly and uses less mobile data, then refreshed.
How much history you get
Google keeps 16 months of performance data. The free tier shows recent data on every site; Pro unlocks the full 16 months, with longer date ranges and year-on-year comparison, on every property you own.
What about alerts?
The app checks your sites in the background and schedules notifications on the iPhone itself: a weekly digest, a warning when clicks drop sharply, and a heads-up when pages fall out of Google's index. Because they are local notifications, no data leaves the device to generate them. Read more about alerts.
Search Console on the web vs. in the app
The app is not a replacement for Google Search Console; it is the fast, phone-sized way to read it. Here is what you get where.
| Task | Google Search Console (web) | Search Console for iPhone |
|---|---|---|
| Check this week's clicks | Open browser, sign in, choose property, open Performance, set dates | Open app. The Overview shows it. |
| See change vs. the previous period | Turn on Compare and read two overlaid lines | Shown next to every number by default |
| Find why a page is not indexed | Pages report → reason → URL list | Indexing tab, reasons grouped in plain English |
| Inspect a URL | Paste into the inspection bar | Type or paste the URL on the URL Inspection screen |
| Request indexing | Yes | Opens the page in Search Console (Google only allows it there) |
| Core Web Vitals | Group-level report | Real-user CrUX data plus PageSpeed lab scores for mobile and desktop |
| Get told when traffic drops | Email, sometimes | Notification on your iPhone, on a schedule you choose |
| Change settings, add sites, remove users | Yes | No, by design: the app is read-only |
Try it with the demo first.
The app opens on a sample site, wildtrails.co, with every report unlocked. Connect your own Google account when you are ready.
