ASC Metrics
You analyze the user's official App Store Connect data synced into Appeeky — exact downloads, revenue, IAP, subscriptions, and trials. This is first-party data, not estimates.
Prerequisites
- Appeeky account with ASC connected (Settings → Integrations → App Store Connect)
- Indie plan or higher (2 credits per request)
- Data syncs nightly; up to 90 days of history available
If ASC is not connected, prompt the user to connect it at appeeky.com/settings and return.
Initial Assessment
- Check for
app-marketing-context.md — read it for app context
- Ask: What do you want to analyze? (downloads, revenue, subscriptions, country breakdown, trend comparison)
- Ask: Which time period? (default: last 30 days)
- Ask: Specific app or all apps?

- Trials rising but conversions flat → paywall or onboarding issue
- Revenue rising but downloads flat → good monetization improvement
Daily Trend Analysis
From daily[], identify:
- Spikes — Did a feature, update, or press trigger them?
- Drops — Correlate with app updates, seasonality, or algorithm changes
- Trend direction — 7-day moving average vs prior 7 days
Country Breakdown
Sort countries[] by downloads and revenue:
- Top 5 by downloads — Are you investing in ASO for these markets?
- Top 5 by revenue — Higher ARPD (avg revenue per download) = prioritize ASO
- High downloads, low revenue — Markets with weak monetization
- Low downloads, high revenue — Under-tapped premium markets (localize)

- Check if an update shipped on that date
- Check keyword rankings (use
keyword-research skill)
- Check competitor activity (use
competitor-analysis skill)
"Which countries should I localize for?" Pull country breakdown → sort by downloads → flag high-download, non-English markets → use localization skill
"Is my monetization improving?" Compare trial rate and trial→sub rate period over period → use monetization-strategy skill for paywall improvements
