Why ASO wins

Search drives 70% of app discovery

Most downloads start with a store search — and the top results take the lion's share. These are the numbers behind why an optimized, localized listing wins.

App discovery via search

70%

Most installs start with a store search — not browsing.

Organic downloads to top 3

90%

Rank beyond the first results and you're invisible.

Downloads with localized metadata

+128%

Average lift in non-English markets after localization.

In August we published three studies of the App Store. We re-ran them on later data we had not seen when we published. Two held. One we withdrew.

Most apps never write a subtitle

Re-checking showed our iOS collector never captured the subtitle field — 0 of 35,562 snapshots. The figure measured us, not the App Store.

We also publish what didn’t work. Editing your listing did not measurably win more reviews. A higher ASO score did not predict downloads (r = −0.31). Both went out anyway, because a result you can check is worth more than a testimonial you can’t.

Measured September 1, 2026 against live production data. A “measurement” is one listing read, one keyword rank check, or one difficulty score — the same unit our published studies use. We poll each monitored app about five times a day, and roughly a quarter of attempted reads fail for apps that no longer resolve in their store. Keyword measurement currently covers 14 countries and is mostly US — separate from the 150+countries we can publish to. Android ranks are capped at roughly the top 30 by what Google Play returns, so the two stores are not directly comparable.

Frequently asked questions about app store optimization

Common questions about ASO, AI metadata generation, app localization, and publishing with AppDrift.

Yes. Apple Search Performance syncs the official App Store Connect keyword analytics Apple released in 2026: impressions, tap-through rate, conversion rate, retention cohorts, and revenue for every search term that surfaces your app. It's your own app's real data straight from Apple — no estimates — paired with AppDrift's rank tracking and difficulty scores. Included on every paid plan at no extra cost.

A few seconds per language. All 60+ languages in under 2 minutes. Our AI processes app store translations in parallel, so you get ASO optimized metadata almost instantly regardless of how many languages you select.

Apple App Store and Google Play Store. You can manage both platforms from a single dashboard, push metadata updates to both simultaneously, or update them independently.

We use GPT-4 and Gemini — the most capable AI models available. They understand app store optimization context, maintain your brand voice, and respect character limits for titles, subtitles, and descriptions. You can review and edit everything before publishing.

Absolutely. You can skip AI entirely and paste your own translations, or use AI as a starting point and fine-tune from there. The ASO platform adapts to your workflow.

Version history lets you roll back to any previous version with one click. Every metadata change is tracked, so you can always undo or compare previous app store listing versions.

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We only access the metadata needed for translations and publishing. You connect App Store Connect with an API key and Google Play with a service account; both are stored encrypted, scoped to your workspace, and can be revoked from your app’s credentials page at any time.

There’s a free tier to get started with AI metadata generation and translation for 1 app. Paid plans start at $9.99/month for additional apps and ASO features. The app screenshot generator is completely free with no limits.

Not at all. Choose from 50+ professionally designed templates, drag and drop your app screenshots in, customize text and colors, and export for App Store and Google Play. No Photoshop or design experience needed.
