Pulling metadata, screenshots and recent reviews from the App Store.
Well optimised. What's left is fine-tuning.
Land the top 3 fixes below and this listing reaches 90/100 · 7,964 m (Summit Ridge).
Ordered by how many points each one adds to the score. Start at the top.
12/30 characters used.
The title is the heaviest ranking field. You have 18 characters unused: add your strongest keyword after the name, e.g. “UAV Forecast: <main keyword>”.
Last 40 written reviews average 2.8★.
Recent written reviews trend negative, and they are the first ones visitors read. Reply to them and fix the top complaint (see Review Radar below).
Title is the name alone.
Nobody searches for a name they have never heard of. Append what the app does in the words people type (“Habit Tracker”, “Budget Planner”).
On iOS, only the title, subtitle and hidden keyword field count for search. The description does not. Words you only mention there are invisible.
2 unique words. Apple combines them, so “budget” and “planner” also rank for “budget planner”.
The first three do most of the selling: they appear directly in search results. Read them as a stranger would, in two seconds.
Grouped by theme from the most recent written reviews. Run this on a competitor and the complaints become your feature list.
Reads the recent reviews in any language and tells you what to fix, and what a competitor could exploit.
Apps Apple shows next to this one, run through the same audit.
Metadata Studio checks character limits, wasted words and keyword coverage as you type.
Audit of the public listing as of today. The hidden 100-character keyword field cannot be read from outside App Store Connect, so it is not scored.
6/10 iPhone screenshots.
Add 2 more. Each screenshot is a free ad panel: one benefit per panel, caption in large type.
Generic notes: “Minor bug fixes and improvements.”
“Bug fixes and improvements” tells existing users nothing. Name what changed: it is free re-engagement copy shown in the Updates tab.
First paragraph is 315 characters.
Only about three lines show before “more”. Put the single strongest benefit in the first 170 characters.
Three title and subtitle options plus a keyword field, each checked against Apple's character limits.
The description keeps coming back to these, but the title and subtitle skip them. Check each one in Keyword Scout and move the winners into the keyword field.
Live position in Apple's search results. Checks are saved in this browser, so the next visit shows what moved.
Positions come from Apple's public search API and can differ by a few places from what a phone shows.

“[Update]: I decided to try out the app at the Hobbyist level, and I have found it to be quite useful so I’m raising my rating to 4 stars. I’m still not wild about the rem…”
