I just automated my entire ASO keyword research with ONE prompt. 🤯 I type my app name → my AI agent pulls every App Store market, filters for high-demand low-competition keywords, ranks them, and adds the winners to my tracker. Used to take me hours. Now it runs while I watch. The TryAstro MCP is genuinely a cheat code 👇

First sale from Switzerland. 🇨🇭 Two days ago I localized this new app for the Swiss market. Today — $31.85, my first sale there. I'd never have reached this person with an English-only listing. Localization isn't theory. It's real money from places you couldn't touch before. 🌍

I've been posting these green charts for today. Here's the boring truth behind every single one: No viral hack. No ad budget. Just localized metadata low-competition keywords, repeated every day. 🇩🇪 45 🇺🇸 39 — 25 countries climbing. Consistency isn't sexy. It just compounds. 📈

Did not expect this — my inbox is full of people asking me to review their app's ASO. Sorry if I haven't replied yet. I'm doing each one properly, not copy-paste. Want yours faster? Please reply with your app. I'll do public teardowns so the whole timeline benefits.

This prompt I used : My app is "App name" on TryAstro. Find the best App Store markets and keywords with: Popularity > 20 Difficulty < 60 For each keyword, show: Market Keyword Popularity Difficulty Priority (High/Medium/Low) Then rank the best markets, recommend the top keywords to target, and suggest the best localizations to add next.

WWDC deal 🎟️ 30% OFF @TryAstroApp — ends Sunday. Find every keyword your competitors are ranking for, and copy the winners straight into your own app. The fastest ASO shortcut there is. Code: WWDC26 tryastro.app/?aff=WRMObB

This is what "high demand, zero competition" actually looks like 👇 64 popularity. 7 difficulty. Tons of people searching it. Almost nobody optimizing for it. A free ranking just sitting there. I found it in seconds — I asked the TryAstro MCP to scan every market and surface exactly this. 🤯

Paid ads aren't the cheat code most indie devs think they are. They take experiments, analysis, endless iteration — and they burn cash fast. The channels that quietly made me ~$16k (20% of $80k) cost nothing: → ASO localized metadata → localized app pricing → website Search Console → TikTok Control your ad budget. Build the free engine.

Everyone says the US App Store is impossible for indie devs. My app just jumped 101 there. 🇺🇸 And in Germany? Now ranking #6 — top 10, actual visibility, not just "climbing." Green across 25 countries, including ones I can barely pronounce (hi Uzbekistan 🇺🇿). Localization low-competition keywords. That's the whole playbook. 📈

Most developers spend weeks optimizing onboarding to improve conversion by 10%. Meanwhile, a new acquisition channel can cut CAC by 60% overnight. Distribution is underrated.

Downloads up 29%. Sales flat. 😅 Getting people to install and getting them to pay are two completely different games — and I'm clearly winning one and losing the other. For the indie devs who've cracked this: where do you look FIRST when traffic is good but revenue isn't?

A single setting change cutting refund rate by 50% is insane. If you're on RevenueCat and haven't checked this — do it now."

If you can't answer this in one sentence, you have a positioning problem — not a product problem. Clarity before code.

The era of shipping an app in minutes is here. Fable 5 a good idea = $11 in 5 mins. Imagine where this goes in 6 months. Wild time to be a builder.

Everyone says "localize your prices." Mostly good advice. But for AI apps it's a trap: your API bill doesn't care what country your user is in. Discount too aggressively in cheap markets and you burn money on every signup. Localize prices. Just watch your margins.

Nobody warns you about this part of ASO: If you stop getting fresh reviews, your rankings quietly start to slide. 📉 Reviews aren't just social proof — they're a ranking signal. Let them go quiet and the App Store slowly stops trusting you. Watch what happened to me 👇
