Reading the listing…
Pulling metadata, screenshots and recent reviews from the App Store.
The basics are there. The easy gains are still on the table.
Land the top 3 fixes below and this listing reaches 75/100 · 6,637 m (High Camp).
Ordered by how many points each one adds to the score. Start at the top.
9/30 characters used.
The title is the heaviest ranking field. You have 21 characters unused: add your strongest keyword after the name, e.g. “Fivestars: <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”).
4.01 average.
Conversion drops sharply below 4.5. Ask for a rating with SKStoreReviewController right after a success moment, never on launch.
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.
All-time: 63% five-star across 2.5K 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.
Last update 288 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.
0 iPad screenshots.
The app runs on iPad but shows few or no iPad screenshots. iPad visitors see a weaker listing.
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.
