Measured 13 October 2026 · 7 distinct sources in the last 7 days · this page is rebuilt on every deploy
Daily mentions, 2026-09-29 → 2026-10-13. Peak 155 in a day.
Week over week, mentions moved -9%. A growth figure only appears here when it survives a baseline floor, a source-change check and a credibility ceiling — most channels most weeks show nothing, and that is the honest answer.
The evidence chain
Every complaint below came out of this. Nothing is estimated; each step is a count.
- 3,676posts ingested about Crypto30-day window, after excluding 75 news-wire and video posts
- 434read by the classifier12% of them
- 184were genuine complaints42% of what was read
Mentions here exclude news wires and video titles: somebody reporting on Crypto is not somebody having a problem with it. The Trends screen inside the app counts those too, because it measures attention rather than frustration — which is why the two numbers differ and why this page says which one it is using.

Search demand
200,458 Google searches a month on average, from Google Ads keyword volume — the one number on this page you can check against a source that is not us.
Twelve months of monthly volume, ending 2026-08 for the keywords crypto, crypto app.
Searches moved steadily down across the year, 206,400/mo in September to 168,600/mo in August. Twelve months cannot separate a season from a trend, so read this as decline rather than seasonality.
What this page does not tell you
Four competitors in this category print a market size on a page like this one. We do not, because we cannot measure one: mention counts, complaint counts and search volume are not a market size, and a dollar figure built from them would be a guess wearing a decimal point. The same goes for revenue projections, customer demographics and funding comparables.
Everything above is a count of public posts and reviews over a stated window. It is evidence of what people said, not a prediction of what will sell.
