Working
- You have a subtitle. Good, most indie apps don't.
- Your name and subtitle aren't losing meaningful space to separators or emoji.
Not working
- Your app name is only 6 characters. 24 of your 30 highest-value indexed characters are doing nothing. A brand name alone gets found by people who already know you. Add the words everyone else searches.
- Nothing in your name or subtitle says what the app actually does. It reads as a brand plus adjectives. Those 60 characters are the only text on your search card, so a stranger has to guess, and Apple's text matching has nothing to work with.

App name character use
Your app name is only 6 characters. 24 of your 30 highest-value indexed characters are doing nothing. A brand name alone gets found by people who already know you. Add the words everyone else searches. Spend the rest of your 30 characters on one specific word people actually search for.
visibilityApple-documentedNo functional word in name + subtitle
Nothing in your name or subtitle says what the app actually does. It reads as a brand plus adjectives. Those 60 characters are the only text on your search card, so a stranger has to guess, and Apple's text matching has nothing to work with. Put one word in your name or subtitle that says what the app does: the verb or the noun someone would type into search.
visibilityIndustry consensusPreview video is the weakest part of your listing
Preview video scores 0/100. Weakest: no preview video, while 1 of 5 benchmark rivals ship one; a good one measures +20–35% and watchers are ~3× likelier to install. What the review actually saw: no preview video, while 1 of 5 benchmark rivals ship one; a good one measures +20–35% and watchers are ~3× likelier to install.
conversionOur proposalCross-index locales unused
You're covering 8 of the 9 additional languages the United States storefront supports. Each missing one is another 30-character name, 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field: 160 indexable characters you're leaving on the table in the same storefront, without translating your app. Missing: Vietnamese. Add metadata in your storefront's additional supported languages. Each one is another 160 indexable characters (30 name + 30 subtitle + 100 keywords) in the same storefront.
visibilityIndustry consensusApp preview video
+10–20% est.No preview video, so your first three screenshots carry the search card alone. Roughly 90% of even top-1,000 apps have never tested a video, so a decent one is still an unclaimed lever, as long as the poster frame stands on its own. Test one 15–30s preview whose poster frame stands on its own. A weak poster frame evicts a screenshot and is worse than no video.

“The rating looks solid and the screenshots show real functionality, but I have no way to see what actual users ran into, so I'm passing.”

“4.6 over 81 ratings with nothing below 4 stars showing, and the app looks like it was built by people who actually care about the experience instead of just wrapping a web view.”
