Does Polish grammatical case affect single-word App Store keywords?

Less than it affects phrases. A single keyword-field term in its standard dictionary form is the safer default; case agreement matters more for multi-word subtitle and promotional copy, where a native speaker's review is worth the extra step.

Is Poland easier to rank in than Western European markets like Germany or France?

Often, for comparable categories — Poland's App Store competition tends to run less saturated than the largest Western European storefronts, though this should be confirmed with real difficulty scores rather than assumed by market size alone.

Poland

A substantial single storefront, less saturated than Western Europe

Poland is one of the larger Central European App Store markets by population and mobile usage, with real search volume across mainstream app categories, generally running less saturated than Germany, France, or the UK for comparable terms.

Polish grammar uses seven grammatical cases, which change word endings depending on a word's role in a sentence. Single keyword-field terms are less affected than multi-word subtitle or promotional phrasing, but a phrase translated without adjusting for case can read as slightly incorrect to a native speaker.

English loanwords appear in Polish tech vocabulary, particularly for newer software concepts, though somewhat less pervasively than in some Western European languages — a native Polish equivalent is more often the primary search term for most app categories.

Research notes specific to Polish

Prioritize scoring the standard dictionary (nominative case) form of a keyword for the keyword field, since that's the form most directly comparable to how popularity and difficulty tools evaluate the term.

For subtitle and promotional copy, have a native speaker check case agreement rather than relying on a direct grammatical translation, since incorrect case is one of the more noticeable markers of non-native copy to a Polish reader.

As a single storefront without a lower-difficulty secondary market, validate difficulty carefully before committing metadata space, the same caution that applies to Italian and Turkish.

What a straight translation misses

Polish's seven-case grammar affects multi-word phrasing more than single keyword-field terms.
Native Polish vocabulary, not English loanwords, is more often the primary search term across most app categories.
No secondary Polish-language storefront exists to fall back to if a term proves too competitive.
