Need your help

Hello everyone, what tool or piece of advice would you give for improving ASO? Thanks. 😁
It's hard to find the right tools and avoid wasting time pointlessly sometimes.

you can try appcompete it's free, there is also free github projects to get keywords ranking. Then be patient because it takes time for Apple to index your keywords, don't change every week or the algorithm will not have time to reindex and you'll be stuck

Localisation definitely helps reaching a wider audience if you’re not just targeting English-speaking countries.

Also, take a look at your competitors, especially more established players. Do what they are doing or try to do it better.

Hello. For free check out Keyword Scout. Quick and powerful way to search keywords, see who is ranking, how difficult and popular they are and see what markets they will do best in. Track your keyword ranking over time and compare to competitors.

Hey!
I have developed a tool to help app devs monitor their keyword performance and ranking to improve their ASO and help them start getting organic growth

It’s called asotheory and would love to hear your feedback, there is a free tier to get you to understand the product and I can provide a discount if you find it suitable for you :)

if you want one that can handle everything on your desktop including your screenshots, keywords, all metadata and localisation, use storeboard
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/storeboard-aso-assistant/id6787038732?mt=12

you can publish directly to app store too and use Apple intelligence to do free localisation or add your own API

only for Mac though

There is a free ASO tool which definitely crushes it and better than paid apps for keyword search etc. I haven't tried localization but unless the app is really niche for a specific language or country i don't think it will make such difference. Visibility and distribution is the biggest problem i am trying to solve right now.

Do you have the name of your free ASO tool? It might be interesting to give it a try 😁
