Working
- Your app name uses 29 of 30 characters. That's a good use of the highest-weighted field you have.
- You have a subtitle. Good, most indie apps don't.
Not working
- You're publishing in one language, and the United States storefront supports 9 more. Each missing one is another 30-character name, 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field: 1,440 indexable characters you're leaving on the table in the same storefront, without translating your app. Missing: Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), French, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish (Mexico), Vietnamese.
- Your app is published in one language (EN). If it's on sale in storefronts outside that language, and by default it is on sale in all of them, everyone there sees English metadata and searches in their own words. Either localize, or narrow where you sell.

You're publishing in one language, and the United States storefront supports 9 more. Each missing one is another 30-character name, 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field: 1,440 indexable characters you're leaving on the table in the same storefront, without translating your app. Missing: Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), French, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish (Mexico), Vietnamese. Add metadata in your storefront's additional supported languages. Each one is another 160 indexable characters (30 name + 30 subtitle + 100 keywords) in the same storefront.
visibilityIndustry consensusDescription line 1 is the weakest part of your listing
Description line 1 scores 13/100. Weakest: First line is a WSJ quote and award list, not a stated reader outcome; Line 1 opens with WSJ quote and 'Finalist/Winner' award boilerplate. What the review actually saw: First line is a WSJ quote and award list, not a stated reader outcome; Quote and awards are standalone marketing but don't explain what app does.
conversionOur proposalYour page and your actual users are different people
The audience your listing addresses and the audience writing your reviews diverge (mismatch 0.50 of 1). Decide which one you want, then make the page say so.
conversionOur proposalApp preview video
+10–20% est.No preview video, so your first three screenshots carry the search card alone. Roughly 90% of even top-1,000 apps have never tested a video, so a decent one is still an unclaimed lever, as long as the poster frame stands on its own. Test one 15–30s preview whose poster frame stands on its own. A weak poster frame evicts a screenshot and is worse than no video.
conversionStrong evidenceDescription keyword stuffing
"flight" appears 17 times in your 368-word description (4.6%). That's heading toward keyword stuffing, and iOS doesn't index the description at all. You're paying in readability for nothing. Stop repeating keywords in the description. It is not indexed on iOS, so stuffing it costs you readability and buys you nothing.
