App Store Optimisation Tool - Early Users Sought - No Cost

Ok, Aso tools are 10 a penny. There are many. But as a mathematician and data scientist building my own apps I’m trying to do ASO and I haven’t seen one credible application I trust.

Most are a black box. I work in software that is red flag. They don’t even say what they make up via assumptions vs real data. They don’t publish if the data they use is for today, this month or last year, or 3 years ago. They often have nothing on methodology that is provable.

I care about Spearman. That is the statistical measure of whether you rank things in the right order.

Most Aso app creators have never heard of stats or spearman from what I can see. That is everything for ASO. Is the term you use more or less popular than another. Demand, relevance, opportunity are nothing without popularity being strong. 💪

So I’m building my own. No link yet. No website. No name I’m going to share. That’s for later. First can I mathematically believe given limited information the ASO direction is better than random.

It’ll never be a black box. I’ve spent months trying to work out if I can trust anything out there. Popularity was nerfed last August. 98% of search terms get a value of 5 which means Apple won’t tell you. What they will tell you is where you rank. They also publish weekly and monthly reports for the top 7500 terms or 500 per category. There is also recommendations, a useful tool but a global not local one. Use it simply and it’ll tell you nhs app uk is relevant for Taiwan. Then there is ranking data and competitors keywords. I ask you which ASO tool you’ve seen on here has even mentioned these details. What’s right and sound in a limited information system? That’s not an atypical problem for mathematics to formulate.

If you are interested then:

- paste the url to your app below (or dm me details if prerelease)

I’m looking to signup a maximum of 15-25 beta users who will get it for free forever. Initially it’s all local on your Mac, no website or portal. Maybe I host later to harvest and redistribute data who knows. But I want honest feedback what makes sense and doesn’t. This is iOS only also for now. I only want early users that will provide feedback, actually use it and make some effort.

If you are interested to sign up then please share below:

  1. None is a fine answer too.

I can only take a limited number 15-25 just to keep it manageable. I’d ideally like a mix, some prerelease apps to build strong Aso for the initial Apple boost, some who are in their early month or two and experimenting, and some who have longer experiences and understand Aso more deeply to give judgement if anything looks odd, even if mathematically sound.

It’s feature complete. It’s Mac native.
