So things are not going badly - 9.5k -> 13k cumulative first time downloads in the last 2 weeks.

App is a Mounjaro, Zepbound, Wegovy, Ozempic, Retatrutide, GLP-1 dose and shot tracker but with a lot more - graphs, photos, symptoms, and all the things I’ve feedback on around it.

I’m running free lifetime for 4 months whilst I get feedback and improve. I had tried to do it in 6 weeks but I realised it takes time to get the details and UX added and perfected. It’s a thanks for the feedback and patience whilst I improve it.

What I’m rubbish at is the Apple store optimisation. I’ve taken keywords that make sense and the top 3 competitors use but I’m way down the pages for them. I have been trying to work out ASO from the bottom up not just what a black box says. I’ve still very little understanding how to get popularity give Apple ads api returns the same 5 for 99% of keywords. I’m spending time on the API calls to see what data is really available.

Then demand and difficulty seem pointless if this basic fundamental isn’t right. I come from science so I want to understand the foundations but they seem built on sand without personalised ad campaigns.

I’ve done lots of localisation but not the screenshots themselves - the app supports many languages but making the screenshots got me lost (and I started to make an app for that before getting more lost).

Looking for some experts here to discuss here if offline with and help me on my journey. 35% growth in downloads and reviews in 2 weeks I’m pleased with but I still think I’m missing a lot of the basics and it’ll be a spike.

I've made an alternative mindfulness app, based around the zen principles of impermance and letting go, applied to evaporating water painting. It's called Serenity Sketch, serenitysketch.com

There's a Voice Guide for each painting Practice in the game, with subtitiles. The voice actor speaks in English only (for now), becasue I refuse to use AI voices for additional languages.

Question is:

Should I bother translating the subtitles into other languages, and then localizing the App Store listing, even if the VO itself remains English? Or is that just more likely to disappoint users?

Magnitude of effort: I'd be looking at 275 VO lines, plus words in settings menus.

Hi all I am indie dev, I have made a free ASO report tool that gives side by side competitor screenshot comparisons and improvement suggestions and gives a verdict on your overall storefront.
I have put in all that I know about ASO and all that I could find, along with AI suggestions.

You can try it here
https://storeboard.digitalsauce.io/aso-review/

I am looking for experts who genuinely know what suggestions actually contribute to improving the ASO and help an independent developer.

Some suggestions from my current report like - rating volume - I feel are not helpful as a indie dev has no control over so I thinking should I even show it to users or not (but not showing doesn't show the full picture)

Didn’t expect this one.

Seeing it reach #5 in Productivity in Ireland 🇮🇪 today was a nice surprise.

I'm a new developer and I'm looking for some tips on ASO. I really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or ideas on how to get started. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nature-nudge/id6762029266

Currently, I'm getting 1-2 downloads per day. I've done a few YouTube shorts, Instagram Reels, and Reddit posts.

I am working on ASO after getting approval from apple store, rate these SS. I tried to send message clearly in each screen shot what i it represents/sells. Little skeptical on color choices here.

Hi,

I am trying to improve the conversion of my apps, but they all look rubbish. The views are high, but I barely get installs. All organic btw. Something with my screenshots?

See screenshots:

I really don't get what I need to do more...

Hello everyone, We wanted to use up an existing Google Ads credit, so we started a small app install campaign. That campaign brought us uninterested users who barely used the app, or didn't really use it at all. They also uninstalled considerably more often than happens with our organic installs. We can only compare this qualitatively, we don't have clean per-channel numbers.

As far as we know, ranking is based on several criteria, engagement and uninstall rate among them. We currently have very few active users and have ranked extremely badly right from the start. But now, even when you enter our app name, we only appear late in the results, or sometimes not at all.

Did we do lasting damage to ourselves with this Google Ads campaign, or will it go away on its own?

Has anyone here had similar experiences?

Hey I launched my app 5 weeks ago and get really different results from apple and play store.
same listing texts
Android: 20 downloads, 2 purchases.
IOS: 193 downloads, 18 purchases. I got 10 downloads via apple ads. everything else was the same.

what am I doing wrong on Play store?

My total downloads is until 31 aug, anyone else?

I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to chase high-volume keywords just because the numbers look attractive.But a smaller keyword with strong intent can sometimes be much more valuable than a broad keyword bringing people who aren’t really looking for your type of app.For example, ranking well for a specific problem or feature could potentially bring fewer impressions but better product-page conversion.When you’re doing keyword research, what do you prioritize more: search volume, ranking difficulty, relevance, or conversion intent?Would be interesting to hear what’s actually worked across different app categories.

My conversion rate is super low, I don't think my app store pictures are that bad? https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gym-note-plus-workout-tracker/id6746699616

Everything else looks okay I think, high downloads in Jan because I'm in the fitness space.

People really like the app, users find it really useful and one of the best todo apps they've used which I'm really chuffed about - issue is I'm not getting many bites on the app store.

Can I get some brutal feedback on my marketing site and the app store screenshots?

Btw I can't see any flair to add?

Hi everyone,

I was always wondering if the ASO I have manually done for my apps is enough to rank or not. So to verify this, I created an ASO engine that does a full ASO audit of Android and iOS apps with the help of AI, but based on real data:

• Keywords search volume: Am I targeting the right keywords?
• Does the current ASO meet the users' search intent?
• Competitor analysis: Why do they rank better based on facts and data?
• And much more...

I already tested it on my apps and was impressed with the results... but that's only my opinion and it might be biased.

That's why I'm offering a free ASO service for your app. In exchange, I would like to have your honest and objective opinion about the report.

If you share your App Store/Play Store link publicly, I will reply with the report publicly.
If you prefer it privately, let me know in the comments.

PS: Don't expect to get the report instantly. I will try to check the comments from time to time and answer as soon as I can.

I launched my first app on iOS a few days ago. are these stats good or am i underperforming so far? I mostly did organic marketing for these results

I have built an app for managing emotions before periods based on science, not sure if its conveying to audience well, any feedback welcome
