Frequently Asked Questions

Is "Retro Handheld Gaming" trending right now in South Korea?

Rising — current Trend Signal is 82/100, last measured August 16, 2026.

How is the Trend Signal score calculated?

It compares recent mentions of this topic in tracked sources against its own historical baseline — it is not a black-box AI prediction. See the full methodology on the How It Works page.

Does TrendSpry show city-level trend data?

No. No free or legitimately licensed data source provides real city-granular trend data, so TrendSpry only reports at the country level (or worldwide) rather than fabricating city numbers.
