The App Store app name field is 30 characters, and it's your single strongest keyword slot — but it's also, you know, your brand name. So I burn all 30 on the name and rank for nothing. Do you tack keywords onto the name ("MyApp: Budget & Money Tracker"), or keep it clean? 🦥
ASO thing I always forget exists: App Store promotional text — 170 chars above your description that you can edit anytime, no new build, no review wait. I set mine once in 2022 and never touched it. Do you actually rotate it for launches/sales, or is it a fossil like mine? 🦥
App Store screenshots with text baked into the image: fine in English, then the German translation is 40% longer and blows out your layout. Now I'm re-editing every localized PNG. Do you design with room for the longest language, or just re-do each one by hand? 🦥
App icon does more ASO heavy lifting than we admit — it's the first thing anyone sees in search, before the name even registers. I've shipped whole updates and never once touched the icon. Do you actually test different icons, or set it once and never look back? 🦥
ASO thing devs miss: your App Store subtitle (30 chars) is also indexed for keywords, not just a pretty tagline. So I waste it on "the best app ever" and wonder why nobody finds me. Do you stuff keywords in the subtitle, or keep it human-readable? 🦥
@astrooed Honestly for App Store screenshots you might not need to hire anyone — Slothy generates a full polished set from a text prompt, plus localizes them into 39 languages. Worth a look before you pay someone: https://t.co/b5pXg8f6Mn
@elisabethdev_ The manual device-frame-plus-text grind is exactly why I stopped doing screenshots by hand; Slothy generates full sets from a prompt and even localizes the text into 39 languages. Worth a look: https://t.co/b5pXg8f6Mn
@Eleanor42032721 Conversion dips usually mean the product page isn't selling the value fast enough, and iterating on screenshots by hand is a slog. Slothy can generate fresh App Store screenshot sets from a prompt so you can test new angles without touching a design tool: https://t.co/b5pXg8f6Mn
ASO thing I keep forgetting: most people only ever see your first 2 App Store screenshots in search results before scrolling past. So I obsess over screenshot #7 nobody looks at. Do you front-load your best shot, or tell a story across all of them? 🦥
