- 2+4
Title: uses the 30 characters
Improve20/30 characters used.
The title is the heaviest ranking field. You have 10 characters unused: add your strongest keyword after the name, e.g. “The Official M: <main keyword>”.

What Apple indexes, and what it ignores
On iOS, only the title, subtitle and hidden keyword field count for search. The description does not. Words you only mention there are invisible.
Indexedtitle + subtitle
2 unique words. Apple combines them, so “budget” and “planner” also rank for “budget planner”.

6 of 10 screenshot slots used
The first three do most of the selling: they appear directly in search results. Read them as a stranger would, in two seconds.

Ready to rewrite the listing?
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.
