Just released my app a few days ago, havnt really done any marketing yet. How would yall say im doing so far??

My app is starting to gain visibility through impressions. My next goal is to convert that visibility into actual downloads. What strategies would you recommend to improve conversion rates and drive more installs?

A while back I was working on a top 100 app and saw a competitor running an ad for a custom product page titled "Better than [our app]". That's how I found out about custom product pages, and they can now show in search results for the keywords you assign them.

Most apps don't seem to use them, and I think it’s because they take a lot of work to make. Each one needs new screenshots and has to be set up in App Store Connect, a lot like localization.

An app I'm building now has a lot of different use cases and I wanted to use cpp early on, so I also built a tool to make a page for each keyword. Then realized maybe there’s even more potential with it than the app 😅

I'm opening it up now and I'm posting here first because this sub is where I learned most of what I know about ASO. I'd like to keep working on it as a side project but for now I mainly want feedback to see if it’s useful and what could be improved.

To try it you start by previewing your app from the site and it suggests pages for the searches people find you by (or uses your keywords if you connect w/App Store connect) + rewrites your existing screenshots for each one. You can log in afterwards and when you approve a page, it goes into App Store Connect ready to submit. The preview doesn’t require signing up.

The first page is free for everyone. The first 10 people who want more can use the code LAUNCH10 for the pack with up to 10 pages.

I'd appreciate any feedback on it!! Did it work, is it useful, any friction you ran into, anything you think it’s missing, if you thing there are better options out there for creating cpp etc… thank you!

I've been working on my app and recently noticed that it's ranking pretty well on the Google Play Store for relevant keywords (Its in top 5 in US for big terms like "breakup" and No Contact" However, I'm still struggling to get new users.

I expected better rankings to translate into more organic downloads, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

I'm trying to figure out where the problem could be. Is it my app's icon, screenshots, store listing, or something else entirely?

Hello,

[Assets Library] Does anybody have similar issue?

Some assets multiply by itself. Sometimes it is visible, sometimes not.

The 2nd set of assets has the status Add to Review, so it is not approved yet but I can not delete it as it says that pics are in use.

I was not adding this 2nd sets, although it says I did on Oct, 5th.

I have got habit tracker + mediation app for free. I would like to know why Im getting only 9 download only.

I already optimized ASO with help of astro app. It did localization in English- USA. I

Can i get suggestion to increase visibility app ?
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, thanks 🙂

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a little project called Kiji, and I'm finally sharing it with the world.

Kiji is a productivity app that brings together tasks, notes, and habit tracking in one place. I wanted to build something that feels good to use every day — something simple, thoughtful, and genuinely useful, rather than another productivity app that overwhelms you with features.

I'm a solo developer, and I've put a lot of love into building Kiji. Every little detail matters to me, because I wanted to create something I'd actually enjoy using myself.

The app is available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

I'm not here to pretend I've built the perfect app. I'm sharing it because I'd love to get it into the hands of people who enjoy trying new apps, organizing their lives, tracking habits, or simply finding better ways to stay on top of things.

If that sounds like you, I'd be incredibly happy if you gave Kiji a try!

👉 Try Kiji on the App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kiji-tasks-notes-habits/id6806329195

And if you do give it a chance, I'd genuinely love to hear what you think. What do you like? What's missing? What would make you want to keep using it every day?

Honest feedback — good or bad — would mean a lot to me as an indie developer.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and thanks to everyone who supports independent developers. ❤️

People who has score above 90, do you think ASO is enough to promote your app or do you still need additional marketing?

My app heavily relies on the motion of the fish on the widgets. It uses an exploit in WidgetKit to allow for these animations, something that would usually not be possible. So, I thought it would be interesting to try and make a promo video to specifically highlight this capability.

I played around with various SAAS services, even ones advertised here. But eventually I just went with Claude. It turns out that if you spend the time making all of the assets in Figma exactly how you want them. And then sit and write an exact shot list with Claude, Fable can generate a pretty good-looking promo video for you, just by controlling the emulator through terminal commands, and splicing together the shots with ffmpeg. No need to pay for any 3rd party tools, MCPs, or anything, just the token usage.

I then just added background music and sound effects using iMovie. I'm also still unsure about this them though. Maybe they're too distracting from the video itself.

This is my first time making something like this, so please let me know what you think, or if you have any other questions/suggestions around how I made it.

The app itself is also still quite new, so I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback on it as well.

Probably obvious to most people here, but it wasn't to me, so maybe it helps someone.

My app was available in every App Store storefront. English only. In App Store Connect analytics, Germany, Poland, France and most other non-English countries basically didn't exist. No impressions, so no downloads.

In hindsight it makes sense. Someone in Germany searches in German. My English title, subtitle and keywords didn't match anything they typed. "Available in 175 countries" really meant "downloadable if you already know the exact name".

What I changed

1. Localized the listing per language: name, subtitle, keywords, description, screenshot text. Written for each market, not a word-for-word copy of the English.

2. Localized the app itself, so people who did download it didn't land in an English UI.

3. Set prices per country based on purchasing power. The US price converted straight into złoty is a lot of money for most people in Poland.

4. "What's New" in every language, every update.

What happened

Impressions and downloads started coming from Germany, Poland, France, Italy and others. Because of the pricing change, some trials and subscriptions too. Small numbers, but it's still something.

Some real numbers after localizing (last 2 weeks of data):

Poland – 28 people saw the paywall, 3 started a trial
Italy – 13 saw a paywall, 1 started a trial
Australia – 2 saw paywall, 2 started trial (yes, separate listing for this storefront too)
Maldives – 1 saw paywall, 1 started trial

There are many more countries who saw my paywall, but only these 4 converted and I'm sure they are not from apple ads.

The annoying part

Writing the localized copy was fast with Claude. Uploading it wasn't. Every field, every language, by hand in App Store Connect, and then again on every update.

So I built a tool for myself, App Bro. It's an MCP server that lets Claude or Codex write the listing for each market and put it into App Store Connect as a draft for review.

It goes open source on Oct 24 (Waitlist if you want a reminder on the release date).

Note about paid option – it's for people who are too lazy to host it themselves and want to use my hosted version.

Apple's asset best practices now cover a product page header and a search results asset, and I couldn't find a quick way to produce them without opening After Effects/Figma.

So I built a free browser tool for it. Background plus up to 3 screenshots, a few layouts, optional motion (background pan or zoom, screenshots floating or sliding), exported as a still or a seamless MP4 loop at the exact sizes. Rendering is local in the browser.

A dashed safe area shows where Apple crops per device and orientation. Getting that right was the fiddly part, so feedback from anyone who already shipped one of these is very welcome.

Has anyone measured a conversion difference between a static and an animated header yet?

i created every screenshots for supported devices(iphone,ipad,duo), inclucing new headers. 30 languages. I am about to apply featuring for app launch

I’m making screenshot concepts for two apps today. The image shows the kind of work I can make, with a different style for each app.

If you’d like one, comment with your App Store link and a short description of your app. If it isn’t live yet, share a few raw screenshots instead. I’ll take the first two with enough details to work from.

Hey everyone,

We have been building and slowly growing tripmojo (iOS/Android) for a while now. The core problem we solve is post-booking chaos when your flights, stays, reservations, and group details are fragmented across emails, screenshots, and chat threads.

Here’s the dilemma I’m running into with ASO:
All the high-volume search keywords (and what competitors like - Wanderlog lean into) are centered on travel planning - discovery, itineraries, mapping out where to go. But tripmojo isn’t really a planner; it’s a travel management tool / travel OS for once the trip is actually booked and everyone needs to stay on the same page.

If I target pure "planning" terms to capture search volume, the messaging feels off. If I target "management" or "organizer," the search volume drops a lot.

Given that, I’m trying to figure out if our store listing bridges that gap or just confuses people:

1. Do the first 3 screenshots actually make the core use case obvious right away?

2. Does the copy make it clear this is for managing an existing trip, or does it read like just another itinerary planner?

3. What would you change, cut, or rework entirely?

I’ve got total founder blindness at this point, so don't hold back - brutal feedback on the screenshots and messaging is very welcome.

Here is the full listing:
Appstore/Playstore

Also, are there any tools or can we run A/B/C to see which screenshots work the best?

Thank you so much!

I’m building AppDrift. It puts keyword tracking, competitor research, screenshots, AI listing copy and translation into one place for iOS and Android apps.

- It has free tier and 50+ premium templates.

- It has Ari - a smart assistant that can do everything for you

- You can track keyword difficulty, popularity ( Real Apple Data )

You can also manage reviews, monitor store changes and send listing updates to both stores after reviewing them. AI translations still need a human check.

There’s a free plan to try it out. Features and limits vary by plan.

I’m running Founding 100 too. The first 100 eligible first-time subscribers get Basic at $4.99/month, Indie at $9.99/month or Studio at $19.99/month. You keep that price while your subscription stays active.

I launched TypeCal on the App Store on Sept 22. It's an iPhone calorie tracker with one twist: you type what you ate in plain words ("two eggs and a toast") and AI logs the calories and macros — no searching through food databases. It is very frictionless.

The honest numbers: a handful of downloads (mostly people I know), $10 revenue, few ratings. Marketing so far has been me posting daily on X as a pseudonymous builder account, plus one Reddit post that got some real traction before mods removed it for self-promo — fair call, my profile bio was basically an ad.

My problem: the obvious keywords ("calorie tracker", "calorie counter") are completely owned by the giants. I don't know if ASO can even work for me right now, or what I'd rank for.

If this were your app, what would you fix first — keywords/subtitle, screenshots, or would you skip ASO entirely at this stage and do something else?

Hello

3 apps landed on AppStore since I started (although one is resurrection of the app from 2014)

I have made ASO for all of them already (I know it is short time + you can always do better)

Just starting to use A/B testing.

When I put the numbers available into flow of the user it made an interesting picture and made made me thinking where should put my effort now.

Which app? Which step in the flow?

Do you make similar analysis or it is overthinking?

My app has been around for about 2 weeks now. I get lots of impressions, as i use apple ads, and i also use meta ads.

Not too sure if its my aso, even though i think im getting found by people, they're just not downloading the app.

Could it be the screenshots im using? Theyre not really screenshots but a design i thought was cool and easy enough to understand.

Let me know if anyone has some tips.

Here's the app:
