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
- "calm" shows up in your description. Comparison claims about named competitors are a review risk, and in the keyword field they're also characters buying you nothing.
- 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.

Competitor brand names in metadata
"calm" shows up in your description. Comparison claims about named competitors are a review risk, and in the keyword field they're also characters buying you nothing. Remove other companies' brand names from your metadata. This is a rejection risk, not just wasted characters.
visibilityApple-documentedYour page and your actual users are different people
Your page speaks to young professionals; your reviews come from budget-conscious users (34% of the reviews we could place).
conversionOur proposalCross-index locales unused
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 25/100. Weakest: Line 1 says 'your expert-led guide to mental health' without stating a concrete outcome.; Line 1 opens with 'Welcome to Headspace', classic boilerplate greeting.. What the review actually saw: Line 1 says 'your expert-led guide to mental health' without stating a concrete outcome..
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.
