Adrix puts your Apple Ads campaigns in your pocket. See how your spend is doing, pause what's wasting money, adjust a bid, or launch a new campaign — all from your iPhone or iPad, without opening a laptop. It's a focused tool for indie developers and small advertisers running their own ad spend, not an agency console for hundreds of accounts. THE SIX METRICS THAT MATTER, EVERYWHERE See Spend, Impressions, Taps, Installs, average CPT and average CPA at every level — campaign, ad group, keyword and search term. Switch between Today, 7 days and 30 days. Every amount is shown in the campaign's own currency, exactly as Apple reports it. Adrix never converts currencies or guesses. ACT IN TWO TAPS • Pause and resume campaigns, ad groups and keywords • Adjust keyword bids with a slider or quick presets (Manage Bids campaigns) • Add negative keywords straight from the search terms report to stop paying for queries that never convert • Edit budgets, names, status, and ad placements Every change that affects money asks you to confirm first, and the confirmation names exactly what's changing — so an accidental tap never costs you. DRILL IN Open any campaign to see its ad groups, then its keywords, then the real search terms triggering your ads — each with charts and the full metric set. Spot a winning keyword and add it; spot a wasteful term and exclude it. CREATE CAMPAIGNS ON THE GO A guided wizard walks you through a new campaign end to end: pick an app, choose countries, set a budget, build an ad group, add your first keywords and choose a creative. Both Apple Ads bid strategies are supported — Manage Bids for full manual control, and Maximize Conversions for Apple's automated bidding with a target CPA. MANY ACCOUNTS, ONE APP Switch between every Apple Ads organization you have access to in a tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your sign-in tokens live only in your device's Keychain — never synced to iCloud, never stored on our servers. There's no third-party analytics and no tracking. Adrix requires an active Apple Ads account. Adrix is an independent app from Zippy IT Solutions Ltd and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Apple Inc. Use of this app is subject to Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA), available in the App Store under "License Agreement" and at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
