22/30 characters used.
The title is the heaviest ranking field. You have 8 characters unused: add your strongest keyword after the name, e.g. “Pomodoro - Foc: <main keyword>”.
On iOS, only the title, subtitle and hidden keyword field count for search. The description does not. Words you only mention there are invisible.
5 unique words. Apple combines them, so “budget” and “planner” also rank for “budget planner”.

Lead with one clear benefit sentence. It is the only part most visitors read.
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.

“Not worth it. The ads are more distracting than the timer and ruins the idea behind using a pomodoro timer for productivity. Not good for anyone with ADHD.”
