Question 1

What platforms does AppDrift support?

Accepted Answer

AppDrift fully integrates with App Store Connect (iOS) and Google Play Console (Android). You can manage metadata, publish updates, and track changes for both platforms from a single dashboard.

Question 2

How does AI translation work?

Accepted Answer

We use ChatGPT and Gemini to translate your app metadata. The AI understands app context, preserves your brand voice, and optimizes for each market’s search terms and cultural preferences.

Question 3

Can I try AppDrift for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our free plan includes the Screenshot Generator, 1 app, and 50 tokens. You can also start a 7-day Pro trial to unlock 3,000 tokens, keyword tracking, and unlimited exports. Cancel anytime.

Question 4

How do I connect my store accounts?

Accepted Answer

One-click OAuth connection for both App Store Connect and Google Play Console. We use secure API tokens — your credentials are encrypted and never stored in plain text.

Question 5

Is there team collaboration?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Invite team members with role-based permissions. Reviewers can approve changes before publishing. Full audit logs track who changed what and when.

Question 6

How is this different from AI translation?

Accepted Answer

Translation converts your existing English metadata to other languages. Generation creates original, unique content for each market from scratch. Each locale gets metadata specifically crafted for that audience.

Question 7

Will the generated content be unique?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every piece of metadata is generated fresh using your app's specific details. There's no risk of duplicate content with other apps or across your own locales.

Question 8

Can I control the tone and style?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Define your brand voice (professional, casual, playful, technical) and the AI maintains that tone across all generated content.

Question 9

What if I don't like the generated content?

Accepted Answer

Regenerate any section with one click. You can also provide feedback to refine the output, or edit directly in our side-by-side editor before publishing.

Question 10

Does it work for both App Store and Google Play?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The AI knows the different character limits and best practices for each store. Content is automatically optimized for whichever platform you're targeting.

Question 11

How does it handle keywords?

Accepted Answer

You can provide target keywords, or let the AI suggest high-value keywords for each market. Keywords are naturally integrated into the copy — no awkward stuffing.

Question 12

What is the ASO Score and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

The ASO Score is an instant health audit that grades your app listing across five categories: title (30 chars usage), subtitle (30 chars usage), description (keyword density and length), keywords (relevance and coverage), and localization (language coverage). Each category is scored individually and combined into an overall score out of 100.

Question 13

How can I improve my ASO Score?

Accepted Answer

Focus on the lowest-scoring categories first. Use all available characters in your title and subtitle, include relevant keywords naturally in your description, fill the 100-character keyword field completely, and localize your metadata into more languages. The ASO Score updates in real time as you make changes.

Question 14

How accurate is AI translation for apps?

Accepted Answer

Our AI translation achieves 98.5% accuracy across all supported languages. We use advanced neural machine translation powered by ChatGPT and Gemini, specifically optimized for app content.

Question 15

What languages can I translate my app into?

Accepted Answer

We support 40+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Hindi, Italian, and more.

Question 16

How long does it take to translate an app?

Accepted Answer

Translation happens in seconds. A typical app with descriptions, titles, and keywords in 40 languages takes less than 5 minutes total.

Question 17

Will the AI translation fit App Store character limits?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our AI automatically optimizes translations to fit both App Store and Google Play character limits. No manual editing needed.

Question 18

Can I customize the tone and style?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can set your brand voice preferences, and our AI will maintain that tone across all languages. You can also review and edit any translation before publishing.

Question 19

How much does AI translation cost?

Accepted Answer

We use credit-based pricing. Translating an app to 10 languages typically costs 3-5 credits. All plans include a free tier to get started.

Question 20

How is this different from Google Translate?

Accepted Answer

Our AI is specifically trained on app store data, understanding ASO principles, character limits, keyword relevance, and cultural preferences. We don't just translate — we optimize for conversions and rankings.

Question 21

Can I edit the translations before publishing?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Our side-by-side editor lets you review and refine every translation. You can also save custom glossaries to maintain consistent terminology across all languages.

Question 22

How quickly can I see results?

Accepted Answer

Most apps see improved international rankings within 7-14 days. Download increases typically follow within 30 days as your optimized listings gain visibility.

Question 23

Do you support both App Store and Google Play?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We optimize for both platforms' unique requirements, including different character limits, keyword formats, and ranking algorithms.

Question 24

How often are keyword rankings updated?

Accepted Answer

Rankings are updated daily for free. You don’t need to spend tokens on daily updates — that happens automatically. You can manually refresh rankings anytime to see current positions, which costs 1 token per refresh.

Question 25

What does the difficulty score mean?

Accepted Answer

Difficulty scores range from Easy (1) to Hard (100) and indicate how competitive a keyword is. A difficulty of 59 means it’s moderately competitive, while 70+ is highly competitive. Use difficulty scores to balance your keyword targets.

Question 26

Can I track the same keywords across multiple countries?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can track any keyword in any of 200+ supported countries and regions. You’ll see separate rankings for each country since search competition varies by market.

Question 27

What does 'Not in top 200' mean?

Accepted Answer

It means your app doesn’t rank in the top 200 results for that keyword in the selected country. You’re ranked lower than 200, or possibly not ranked at all for that keyword.

Question 28

Is there a limit on how many keywords I can track?

Accepted Answer

No limit on keywords. Add as many as you need. However, refreshing rankings for very large keyword lists will use more tokens than smaller lists.

Question 29

What is Competitor Watch and how does it help my ASO?

Accepted Answer

Competitor Watch lets you add competitor apps and compare their metadata side-by-side with yours. You can see differences in titles, descriptions, keywords, language coverage, ratings, and ASO scores — helping you identify gaps and opportunities in your keyword and metadata strategy.

Question 30

How do I use keyword tracking data to improve my ASO?

Accepted Answer

Use ranking data to find high-potential keywords (high popularity, low difficulty), identify competitors’ keywords, and monitor progress as you optimize your metadata. Combine keyword tracking with Competitor Watch to see what keywords competitors rank for that you’re missing.

Question 31

Is the screenshot generator really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the screenshot generator is completely free with no watermarks and no limits. You can create unlimited screenshots for all device sizes without a paid plan.

Question 32

What device sizes are supported?

Accepted Answer

All current App Store and Google Play required sizes are supported, including iPhone 6.9”, iPhone 6.7”, iPhone 6.5”, iPhone 5.5”, iPad Pro 13”, iPad Pro 12.9”, and standard Android phone and tablet sizes.

Question 33

Can I export screenshots for multiple devices at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our batch export feature lets you export your design across all selected device sizes and languages in one click. This saves hours compared to manually resizing each screenshot.

Question 34

Do I need design skills to use it?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. The drag-and-drop editor lets you choose templates, upload your app screenshots, customize text and colors, and export — no Photoshop or design experience needed.

Question 35

Can I create localized screenshots in multiple languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can duplicate your design for different languages, update the text for each locale, and export all language versions at once. Combined with our AI translation, you can localize screenshots into 40+ languages.

Question 36

What countries can I publish to?

Accepted Answer

You can publish to all 175+ countries and regions supported by the App Store and Google Play. Select individual countries, regions, or publish globally in one click.

Question 37

Is there a compliance check before publishing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AppDrift runs pre-launch compliance checks including character limit validation, missing field detection, and screenshot size verification before any deployment. This prevents rejected submissions.

Question 38

Can I schedule a release for a specific date and time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can schedule releases with timezone-aware scheduling. Set your preferred launch time in any timezone, and AppDrift handles the rest automatically.

Question 39

What happens if a deployment fails?

Accepted Answer

AppDrift monitors deployments 24/7 and alerts you immediately if anything goes wrong. With a 99.9% success rate, failures are rare, but you can always retry or rollback with one click.

Question 40

Can I do phased rollouts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Phased rollout support lets you gradually release updates to a percentage of users. Monitor performance and expand the rollout when you’re confident, or halt it if issues arise.

Question 41

Can I select specific locales or do I have to update all?

Accepted Answer

You have complete control. Select individual locales, groups (like all European languages), or update everything at once. Our smart selection tools make it easy.

Question 42

What happens if text exceeds character limits?

Accepted Answer

We automatically validate all text against App Store and Google Play character limits. You'll see warnings before applying any changes.

Question 43

Can I preview changes before applying them?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Our diff preview shows exactly what will change in each locale with color-coded additions, deletions, and modifications.

Question 44

Is there a rollback option if something goes wrong?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Every batch update is versioned. You can instantly rollback to any previous version. We also keep detailed logs for audit purposes.

Question 45

Can different team members work on different locales?

Question 47

Will my design layouts break during translation?

Accepted Answer

No. Our AI adjusts text to fit within existing design constraints. If a translation is longer than the original, the AI optimizes wording to maintain layout integrity.

Question 48

What Figma elements are supported?

Accepted Answer

We support text layers, components, auto layouts, images, vectors, and frames. Essentially all major Figma elements work seamlessly with our integration.

Question 49

Can I export assets for both App Store and Google Play?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Export perfectly sized screenshots, feature graphics, and icons for all required device sizes on both platforms in one click.

Question 50

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer
