This week we made a few behind-the-scenes improvements. Refract now runs natively on iPad, and your data can sync across devices for a smoother experience. This also resolves issues in the onboarding for users running the iPhone app on iPad.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
