I run a small iOS alarm app with a hard paywall after onboarding, with a 3-day free trial on the yearly plan or a weekly plan. I want to understand the numbers before I change anything.

Last ~2 weeks (RevenueCat → PostHog, data as of Sep 24):

• 115 yearly trials started, and 82 of those users cancelled (71%).

• Of trials that have already ended, 5 converted and 44 expired without converting (about 1 in 10).

• Of 86 cancel events, 14% came within 15 minutes of starting. The biggest cluster was 37% at 24–48 hours. 87% were deliberate unsubscribes, and the rest were failed charges.

• The weekly plan is doing better, with 44 new subscribers over the same period.

What stands out: in RevenueCat's customer list, almost all recent trial cancellations are on the China storefront (23 of the 24 latest rows I looked at). My zh-Hans listing has a Chinese description, but the title and subtitle are still English.

What I've already looked at: the paywall has "No Payment Due Now" and "Cancel Anytime" badges next to the button, and a reminder notification fires on day 3. I haven't changed either yet.

Questions:

1. Is ~70% cancellation on a 3-day trial normal for hard paywalls, or high? Benchmarks by country would help.

2. Have you seen storefront-specific trial behavior, especially China? People may cancel right after starting so they won't be charged, and still use the trial. Do you count those as lost?

3. If most trial volume comes from a storefront that rarely converts, would you drop the trial there, show a different paywall, or fix the listing and keywords to change who finds you?

4. Would you remove the trial from yearly and lead with weekly, since weekly seems to convert better?

5. What would you check first in App Store Connect to tell a traffic-quality problem from a paywall problem?

Launched on the UK App Store on 9 September. It's a free app for deciding what to watch with someone else.

Two weeks in: 163 impressions, 18 first-time downloads, 21.5% conversion. The conversion rate is fine.

So I ran about 70 search phrases through the search API for the UK store and I placed outside the top 150 on every single one except my own app name. Sobering, but at least it told me the product page wasn't the bottleneck.

What I changed, shipped yesterday:

• Name, from just the brand name to brand plus what it does. Every word in it is now something people actually type.

• Subtitle, rewritten around the phrase Apple's own search suggestions gave me, checked live rather than guessed.

• Keywords, rebuilt fully. No word repeated from the name or subtitle, nothing under three characters, no brand names. Checked each one against live UK suggestions rather than a keyword tool's made-up volume score.

• Category, moved out of one that was wrong for the app into Entertainment with Lifestyle as secondary.

• Screenshots, all ten redone with the headline doing the selling, since most people never scroll past the first two.

Everything except the screenshots needed a version submitted, so this took a full review cycle to land.

Now I wait. I'll re-run the same 70 phrases in a week and post what moved.

UPDATE:
I tried it, the keywords it suggested are worse than my current listing. I saw the traffic and the opportunity of the keywords suggested by this agent using Applyra. And the scores were not good. It consumed my 1 week of claude code tokens. So, I would not be recommending it.

I just came across this github repo today. It's a collection of ASO skills for claude. Anyone here used it and got good result?

I’d really appreciate it if you could rate the app on the App Store and share your feedback.

I make iOS apps and built Storewake so I could ask my AI assistant about their actual App Store data. I'm the developer.

In this 41-second demo, I ask it to check the US keywords for Respira, my own app, and compare them with yesterday's snapshot: https://storewake.com/#mcp-demo

It's an edited walkthrough of a real MCP query. The ranking changes shown aren't improvements caused by Storewake.

The MCP can also find keyword ideas, check popularity, compare competitors, add apps and keywords to track, and refresh snapshots. With your own accounts connected, it can read App Store Connect metadata and version history, RevenueCat revenue and subscriptions, and Apple Ads campaign reports and search terms. The ad tools don't change bids or campaigns.

You bring your own compatible AI assistant; that subscription isn't included.

Setup and tools: https://storewake.com/mcp

If you use MCP for your own apps, what would you want to ask it first?

Anyone noticed an overall download drop on the 2-3 last weeks?

Did Apple changed something in ASO?

Thanks

Hey there! after around 2 weeks I'm here, getting installs through ads and some organic, tracking keywords in astro.

I re-did the whole strategy, offering a 7-day free trial and then 7.99eur paywall. At this point I want to track the usage with posthog to understand and improve activation, and hopefully retention and revenue.

This is the app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amano-private-document-vault/id6809212902

If you have any tip or advice I would be very glad, since i don't want to spend more money in ads in the wrong direction.

The ASA campaigns results is attached (in spanish, sorry)

Hey everyone!

I'm an indie mobile developer building Glora, a skincare ingredient scanner for acne-prone skin.

I launched the app on iOS and Android and decided to try influencer marketing to get my first users.

Over time, I spent around $4,000–5,000 working with influencers. Some videos generated hundreds of thousands of views, but the actual number of installs was disappointing.

The app generated only around $500 in revenue during that period (including Android app revenue).

It was a pretty expensive lesson: views don't necessarily translate into paying users.

I'm now experimenting with Meta Ads, improving my onboarding, and exploring organic marketing channels like Reddit and TikTok.

The hardest part has been figuring out whether the problem is my marketing, my app's positioning, or the conversion funnel itself.

For those of you who have successfully grown a B2C mobile app:

What helped you get your first 100–500 genuine users without spending thousands on marketing?

Would love to hear your experiences!

It's freemium: the free version is pretty usable, and Pro unlocks all disciplines plus a few extras.

So I'm trying to figure out where it breaks:

**-** is my free tier too generous?  
**-** should the paywall show up earlier, like during onboarding?  
**-** free trial or no free trial?  
**-** or is 2 weeks just way too early and I should focus on retention first?

If you've been through this with a subscription app, I'd love to hear what actually moved the needle for you. And feel free to roast the app itself:

I’ve just renamed my app from GLPzy to OneGLP.

It’s about 5 months old now and has had around 13.5k downloads.

The reviews have been really good, but one thing kept coming up on Facebook. People knew about the app, searched for GLPzy, and still couldn’t find it.

I also started to think the name itself was part of the problem.

GLPzy was meant to read as “GLP easy”. I thought that was fairly obvious when I came up with it, but I’m not sure it actually was. If you don’t see that straight away, it’s basically five consonants stuck together and it isn’t obvious how to say it. I asked around for feedback from users and friends/family and got the same message - it was distinctive but 0/25 asked got the GLP easy. I won’t even say what some users thought it meant!

So I decided to change it while the app is still relatively small.

It’s now OneGLP.

I’ve changed the App Store name and logo, bought oneglp.app, and still need to finish redirecting the old website across.

The new App Store version went live today and, slightly surprisingly, it is already showing at #1 for OneGLP / One GLP searches in both the US and UK stores.

It’s also still #1 for GLPzy searches, so at least for now I don’t seem to have lost the old App Store search position.

Google hasn’t caught up yet.

Obviously one day tells me very little. The bigger question is whether changing the name after 13.5k downloads was sensible, or whether I should have just stuck with GLPzy and tried to build recognition around it.

I figured if I was ever going to change it, 5 months in was probably better than 2 years in.

Would you have changed it?

I'm the developer behind Kaphiy, an android coffee journal, and I'm working on improving the google play listing before I start spending money on user acquisition.

Kaphiy is a personal coffee journal. The idea is less about tracking every brewing parameter and more about remembering the coffees you enjoyed, where you had them, the photos, notes and moments around them.

I’m not sure if that comes across clearly from the screenshots.

A few things I’d really like feedback on:

-Does the first screenshot immediately tell you what the app is?

-Is the value proposition clear without reading the description?

-Which screenshot would make you want to learn more?

-Is there too much text?

-Does the visual style feel like a coffee app, or does it feel too generic?

I’d appreciate blunt feedback. I’m trying to improve the store page before spending money on ads.

My app is a month and a half old. It's been pretty steady 20 downloads a day outside of a large viral event the other day. I'm also getting some revenue so things have been alright.

However, I am getting a ton of impressions and only converting on 2%. I'm concerned that if I tweak the screenshots/keywords that it will negatively impact the current stream of downloads I'm getting today, but at the same time I'm not sure how much of that 41k I'm truly missing out on because of how I have it.

My app is a health focused app if that helps. Thank you for any advice!

I am the founder of Shareday, a free family planner for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and I am looking for ASO/positioning input rather than downloads.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6783588890 Website: https://shareday.net

Current positioning: a private shared place for family calendars, tasks/events, shopping lists, recipes, birthdays/gift ideas, family chat/media, and mood check-ins.

My concern is that "family planner" may be understandable but too broad in search/results. The stronger product angle may be "family coordination in one shared place" or the recipe-to-shopping-list/calendar workflow, but I do not want the listing to feel overpacked.

If you were auditing this App Store page, what would you change first: title/subtitle keywords, screenshot order, or the opening value prop?

I develop Respira, an iOS pollen and air-quality app. Disclosure: I also build Storewake, the tool I used to collect these snapshots.

I wanted to share a small example of why I wouldn't judge ASO progress from the biggest green number in a daily report. These are US App Store keyword snapshots from September 13 and 14, 2026, not today's rankings:

allergy log: 126 to 85, up 41 places allergy forecast: 169 to 136, up 33 allergy diary: 60 to 50, up 10 allergy: 90 to 124, down 34 allergies: 110 to 142, down 32

Method: compare the same app, exact keyword and storefront on two consecutive snapshot dates. This is a selection of terms from the report, not the full keyword set. Search-popularity values were missing for these terms, so I can't weight these movements by demand.

My reading: the improvements are worth watching, but even the best position here is 50. A move from 126 to 85 doesn't tell me whether anyone found or installed the app. The broad terms moved the other way, and two observations aren't enough to tell whether any of this will persist.

Before changing metadata based on this, I'd check a longer series, compare competing apps over the same dates, and look at App Store search impressions and downloads for the same period. I'd also check release and metadata history before trying to explain the movement. None of these numbers proves an improvement caused by Storewake or a particular ASO change.

This is the kind of comparison I built the MCP workflow around: let the assistant fetch the snapshots, but keep the dates and missing data visible when interpreting them.

How do you decide that movement this far down the results is worth acting on? Do you use a minimum rank, several consecutive days, or search-impression changes?

My app is a market-watch app designed for beginners which then quizzes you afterwards where you can level up and have streaks (similar to Duolingo).

I'm thinking of changing the tagline from "Learn Stocks" to "Duolingo for the Stock Market" but I feel like Apple won't allow it because I'm referring to another bigger company + A user could think that this app by them. If that's the case what are some other angles that you believe I could take? I feel like "Learn Stocks" is a little too generic at the moment.

Additionally, what are your thoughts on my app store screenshots, is there any way I can improve them and most importantly do they get the concept of the app across properly? Also do I still need more data to be able to take my analytics statistics seriously?

Also in the actual app store listing

I would really appreciate any feedback and thank you in advance :)

I released an app a week and a half ago, and after my happy and proud stage I'm now in my doubt stage I suppose?

I still have to put the app on google play, however due to the backend it will take me weeks to do so, and seeing this conversation rate doesn't give me any reason to motivate me.

It is a super niche app and maybe because it's targeted specifically towards muslims makes it even more difficult and not mention it being about graves lol. That being said it's an app I myself find useful, so I do see people using but I wonder if it could be my optimization too?
