I asked Reddit how people track houses they tour when house hunting. 3.7k views & 19 people answered. Then I built the app.

I asked Reddit how people track houses they tour when house hunting. 3.7k views & 19 people answered. Then I built the app.

A few months ago I posted in a home buying subreddit (r/firsttimehomebuyer) asking how people keep track of houses during a search. Spreadsheets, Notes app, Zillow favorites, pure memory. Nobody had a great answer.

So I built Toured improving all their best responses.

You log each house as you tour it, rate it across 7 categories, record voice notes hands-free, and compare side by side when you’re ready to decide. Paste a Zillow or Realtor URL and it pulls the listing details automatically. Neighborhood Intel pulls walk scores, flood zone, schools, air quality, grocery, coffee, etc. Lots of interesting features.

No subscription. No ads. Your data stays on your device.

Happy to answer questions about building it, API usage and issues I hit and how I worked around it or the app itself.

I've been doing a lot of research lately and noticed something in keyword data.

Some keywords score low difficulty and low saturation but still don't perform. Not because the space is crowded but because nobody searches them - a niche.

A rock climbing app could rank #1 for "climb log" tomorrow. It just won't get many downloads from it.

That's not the same as a Saturated keyword where you can't rank because too many apps are competing. It's a completely different problem. Small loyal audience, zero competition, own the category completely and build it up. Worth knowing about, not worth avoiding.

So I added Niche as a verdict tier in Keyword Scout 1.9.

  • Strong - high demand, low competition
  • Worth a shot - decent demand, manageable competition
  • Niche --small audience, ownable, good for category-specific apps
  • Avoid - crowded, don't bother

The fastest way to test this is Bulk Search -- paste 20 keywords at once, get scores instantly, then tap any result to see competitor coverage and what users are complaining about in reviews.

1.9 also ships stealable competitor keywords, a daily App Store brief on the Pulse tab, and the free tier now includes 1 Concept App for validating ideas before you build.

A big update of Keyword Scout is available now with many new features.

Drop your niche below and I'll run the keywords for you.

Thanks!
