@PadraigOraghail congrats on the first one. while it sits in review, draft the promotional text too. it's the 170 characters at the top of the store page, and you can change it later without a new build

[Shotlingo @shotlingo]

@eduard_pantazi @Apple @AppleSupport @AppStore that's rough. if resolution center stays silent, the formal appeal to the App Review Board is the next step. it runs separately from the reviewer thread

[Shotlingo @shotlingo]

@Husakouski24 presets per platform make sense, the seams lining up on swipe is the whole trick. good luck with the testers

[Shotlingo @shotlingo]

@ChezluiCJar so resubmitting is what got them unstuck. thanks for coming back with how it ended, that's useful to know. go post it

[Shotlingo @shotlingo]

Me: we're localized.

The store page: English screenshots, German description, Japanese keywords.

A user in Tokyo, looking at the screenshots: which part?

@laroymike congrats on going live. steps on the lock screen is a nice one to show in screenshot 1, the widget sitting on a real lock screen explains it faster than any caption

[Shotlingo @shotlingo]

@batuhnnsk a specific line on what looked like spam would save everyone a resubmit. the generic reason is what makes it feel random

[Shotlingo @shotlingo]

@alexcooldev ASO especially. a listing written once at launch and never touched again isn't a dead channel, it's an untested one

[Shotlingo @shotlingo]

@rudrank 216 to 2,853 a day is a big jump. did installs follow in those five countries too, or is it mostly impressions so far?

[Shotlingo @shotlingo]

@anto_cappiello did any of the judge comments talk about the store page, like screenshots or the first screen? or was it all about the app itself

[Shotlingo @shotlingo]

@max_melnik22 if the floor really lifts, small long tail terms stop all reading as 5 and you can finally compare them. curious whether it's new demand or apple just rescaled the bottom

Things that break when you translate a screenshot headline:

- German: one word, two lines
- Arabic: everything mirrors, except the arrow you drew
- Japanese: it fits, and you can't check it
- Finnish: see German
- English: you never noticed it was too long

[Shotlingo @shotlingo]

@kylekane yep. title, subtitle and the keyword field carry search, promo text carries the pitch

[Shotlingo @shotlingo]

@Eleven0x11 do it. v1 next to v14 shows the part the launch post hides. post v1 unedited

[Shotlingo @shotlingo]

@badrships the main screen, with one line on top saying what it does for them. people see the first three in search, so screenshot 1 has to make sense on its own

How ShotLingo works: there is one design, and language is a value it renders with.
