Ordered by how many points each one adds to the score. Start at the top.
11/30 characters used.
The title is the heaviest ranking field. You have 19 characters unused: add your strongest keyword after the name, e.g. “FlightStats: <main keyword>”.
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”).
Last update 702 days ago.
Apps that ship regularly get re-crawled and keep their ranking. Aim for an update every 4 to 6 weeks, even a small one.
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”.
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.
All-time: 89% five-star across 79K ratings.
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.
5/10 iPhone screenshots.
Add 3 more. Each screenshot is a free ad panel: one benefit per panel, caption in large type.
1 language.
Each localisation adds a new title, subtitle and 100-character keyword field. Even without translating the app, localise the listing for ES, DE, FR, PT-BR and JA.
Generic notes: “zendesk help url updated”
“Bug fixes and improvements” tells existing users nothing. Name what changed: it is free re-engagement copy shown in the Updates tab.
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.

“I got a new phone and the FS app is now giving me all the companies (Alaska/AA etc.) that do the same flight. I preferred the old postings, wish I knew how to get back to that?! Otherwise it works great 99% of the time !”
“So many of these flight sites want to charge you … and then they’re so complicated u need a graduate degree to figure out how to use them!!! So glad that FLIGHTSTATS keeps it SIMPLE and FREE to use .. and most important…”
