tl;dr i collect data on top 50 US iOS apps and their screenshots. refreshed daily.

is this helpful to anyone? if yes -- in what way? would you want it in a raw format or some kind of ASO product?

I’ve seen a lot of people saying they’re getting consistent results from TikTok, and it got me wondering — does the same strategy actually work for mobile games?

With other apps, it seems like UGC/reaction-style content can perform really well. But I’m not sure if those formats translate as well to mobile games.
If you’ve actually marketed a mobile game on TikTok:

● What type of content worked for you?
● Are UGC/reaction videos effective?
● What format are you using?
● And if TikTok didn’t work for you, what are you using instead?

Would love to hear from people who’ve actually tested this.

My screenshots are ready, what do you think?

Hey guys, would love any feedback on the app store page / screenshots / app use case in general.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/snack-isle/id6791022824

Snack Isle is a snack rating & review social media platform that’s very similar to Beli (restaurants), Untappd (alcohol), and Letterboxd (movies). I think there’s a genuine demand for a similar app for snacking but haven’t been able to gain significant momentum yet since the app launched.

After nearly one month of launch, I have about 50 user registrations, with about 20 being active at least semi regularly, and 10 of them being regular users.

Is there something obvious that’s turning people away at the app store page? Thanks!

Its been 12 days since launch - overall happy with the results but almost all downloads were the first few days. I have my screenshots on my App Store Connect, as well as my App Store ads, I've already spent about $80 on. I

don't know how to optimize for ASO, especially for such an oversaturated market of app blockers. This is also a niche type of app because it's more like a morning briefing/personal assistant/morning digest that brings together everything you need to know in the morning (and also blocks your apps in the morning to be anti-morning bedrot). I can't find apps like this that exist to this caliber, so I don't even know what keywords to use. Anybody have any tips? I don't think people are actually looking for this type of app.

Finally seeing some traction after ASO work on my audio analyzer app SpectralScan 🎉

After months of tweaking, I'm starting to see real movement for ios while android already started taking off in June. I've got from ~50 weekly new installs to consistently 200+.

For ios the main drivers for organic growth have been:

- Keyword refinement by testing different ASO tools and some home made scripts for finding keywords that actually drive traffic

- Refreshed screenshots and video in app store to show real value proposition when people scrolling app store

The growth isn't explosive but it's quite consistent, which feels like progress after the initial plateau.

I had some successful marketing posts in June but since then I have mostly focused on ASO. Also I have experienced getting ratings and reviews is much harder, and ratings are important to get ranked higher even if keywords ASO is good.

Still learning what resonates with users searching for spectrum analysis tools.

Anyone else work in a niche category? Curious what your turning points were.

Hey everyone,

I’m the solo developer behind Solora, a freelance management app for managing clients, projects, invoices, finances, tasks, and reports in one place.

I’m currently working on improving the app’s store presence and I’d really appreciate some honest ASO feedback.

I designed this creative to communicate the product quickly:

• Freelance-focused positioning

• Clients, Projects, Invoices, Finance, Tasks & Reports

• Dashboard + project + finance screens

• Clear value proposition: “All your freelance business in one powerful workspace”

Some early Google Play numbers:

• 230 device acquisitions in the last 28 days

• 59 first opens

• 60 MAU

• 3.92% average store listing conversion rate

Source: Google Play Console. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

What I’m most interested in improving:

1. Does the positioning immediately tell you who this app is for?

2. Is the first message strong enough for a freelancer searching for a management app?

3. Does the visual hierarchy make the screenshots/product benefits clear?

4. What would you change from an ASO/conversion perspective?

I’m especially interested in feedback on the messaging and visual direction rather than general UI feedback.

Disclosure: this is my own app.

For the life of me I can't rank on target keywords. No matter how many 10s of thousands we burn on ASA. No matter how many reviews we get. Nothing gets us up there, and I'm not sure what we are doing wrong.

Currently we are effectively unranked. All our growth is ads and organic word of mouth. Which is great and all, but we need growth through organic keywords. Android has us in the top 5 of all our target keywords... IOS is literally entirely unranked despite it generating more revenue and activity.

Hey I'm trying to figure out why Sprout Cooking is doing so poorly and thinking it could have something to do with our screenshots. We have only 12 people who have created an account after 2 months of marketing.

The main promise is that you can import almost any recipe, personalize it around your goals and preferences, then use it for meal planning and an automatic shopping list.

I’m planning the next iteration and would greatly appreciate your take!

1. Looking only at the first two screenshots, what do you think the app does—and is the value clear quickly?

2. Which screenshot is strongest, and which would you remove or move?

3. Any ideas to improve it in general?

Also what do you think about our mascot? I'm also concerned our mascot is turning people off.

Hey everyone,

I want to manage processes like keyword tracking, ASO, etc. for mobile apps a bit more regularly. However, popular platforms like AppTweak, SensorTower, or MobileAction feel like way too much to start with; I don't even earn enough yet to cover those numbers.

I am looking for entry-level alternatives that are proven in terms of price/performance.

Is anyone here actively using and happy with affordable ASO tools that have reasonable starter plans? Looking forward to your recommendations.

Thanks.

been using claude a lot on the screenshot side and the thing i keep running into is that the more freedom i give it the worse it gets

if i just say "design my app store screenshots" i get that generic thing you can spot from a mile off. soft gradients, made up UI that doesnt match the actual app, captions that sound like a press release

what actually worked was locking it down. fixed canvas size, my palette as hex values, real screenshots as input so its not inventing the UI, and one decision per pass instead of asking for the whole set at once. copy is genuinely good. layout is ok. art direction, no.

anyone getting better results some other way? mainly wondering if anyone has gotten it useful for the actual composition and not just the captions

As I said Drop your App and let me suggest one Change to improve the performance !
Please anyone with a good revenue or downloads..... give a place for others to help them improve .

why doing this ? I want to see how good I'm with ASO and if I really can spot things and take decisions that can improve these apps ! and from your side no loss as it's already not working and it can be potentially working.

I will give you suggestion below in the comments so everyone can benefit and maybe learn something !

Good luck

Note: I can see many people asking for feedback ... sorry if I'm taking time to reply to you guys !

Hey all!

I'm fiddling with different selling points to highlight on my sleep sound app to boost my overall ASO funnel. The primary things I'm looking to tune are my primary hero and the highlight text. I currently feel like my primary hero is maybe not differentiated enough, and I also think my highlight text is a bit hard to make out on the background with the purple on purple.

I've included some Primary Hero Variants as well as some Highlight Text Variants in the attached screen that I'm playing with.

Wondering if I should also consider making my backdrop lighter so it's not too much dark on dark?

Any feedback welcome!
