Currently working on LaunchMatic, and app screenshot design tool.

    Hello Tim!

    I'm sure your tips really helped people out here,

    The App Store rating and reviews play a major role in the success of your app. In fact, as social beings, users will readily download and use an app if they see it has high ratings and positive reviews.

    So to support your tips, I'd like to share an article to help out more!

    Thank you! Redoing this is on my list as I figured out that my screenshots and description need to explain the problem, solution and unique benefits / differentiators better.

      Hey there just curious: has anyone bought your $400 upgrade?

      1. 2

        Haha, I don't think so. This app is more of a tool for users of my website. The $400 IAP is something I was forced to do by Apple. The actual cost of a one year subscription on my site is $270... but if I want to keep the same revenue on the App Store, I have to factor in Apple's 30% cut... that takes the price to about $400.

        1. 1

          Ohh forced to do as in they said you must provide a way to register via the app and not just the website?

          1. 2

            Yep. They didn't let me push updates to the app unless I allowed purchasing a subscription through the App Store.

            1. 1

              Iโ€™m surprised they didnโ€™t take issue against the price being higher than the website price. I thought they didnโ€™t like if users were encouraged in any way to pay outside of the app.

              1. 2

                I don't think they can do anything about price differences, it's perfectly valid especially if you have low margins. I think it's a fairly common practice to add a premium to the IAP.

                1. 1

                  Ok cool good to know! Thanks for the info!

    A few hours ago I launched update with big ASO changes. So I hope my keyword ranking will be up in a few days :)

    Your project looks good if you give that promise I will be your user ;) After using flycricket I never again want to make my own screenshots in Figma/PS and your product looks like a big step forward in features and I love pricing model.

    You are the first ASO person I see here so if you let me I want to pick your brains.
    โ€ข I was learning some basic ASO from appmasters.com maybe you have more sources of learning?
    โ€ข You use AppTweak. As a beginner with a not profitable app, it's too expansive. That you think about AppRadar or maybe you know more beginner and wallet friendly tools?
