“Bug fixes and improvements” tells existing users nothing. Name what changed: it is free re-engagement copy shown in the Updates tab.
On iOS, only the title, subtitle and hidden keyword field count for search. The description does not. Words you only mention there are invisible.

First paragraph is 331 characters.
Only about three lines show before “more”. Put the single strongest benefit in the first 170 characters.
No user counts, press or awards mentioned.
Add one line of proof near the top: user count, rating, a press quote or an Apple feature.
2 bullet lines, 19 paragraph breaks.

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.
