App Store Performance Analytics without the theater

A working definition we teach: the discipline of connecting listing exposure, conversion quality, and post-install health so release decisions stop relying on gut screenshots.

Exposure

Search impressions, browse placement, and custom product page traffic — each needs its own baseline before you call a creative “winner.”

Conversion

Page-view to download rates segmented by source. We teach sample-size floors so tiny swings stop driving icon redesigns.

Quality

Day-1 and day-7 retention, refund spikes, and crash overlays that reveal when store wins hurt the product.

Weekly ritual we recommend

  1. Lock a North-star store metric for the quarter.
  2. Annotate every metadata change on the same calendar.
  3. Review one failed experiment without blame.
  4. Publish a one-page readout for UA and product.
