Aso-skills asc-metrics

When the user wants to analyze their own app's actual performance data from App Store Connect — real downloads, revenue, IAP, subscriptions, trials, or country breakdowns synced via Appeeky Connect. Use when the user asks about "my downloads", "my revenue", "how is my app performing", "ASC data", "sales and trends", "my subscription numbers", "App Store Connect metrics", or wants to compare periods or top markets. For third-party app estimates, see app-analytics. For subscription analytics depth, see monetization-strategy.

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

  1. Check for
    app-marketing-context.md
    — read it for app context
  2. Ask: What do you want to analyze? (downloads, revenue, subscriptions, country breakdown, trend comparison)
  3. Ask: Which time period? (default: last 30 days)
  4. Ask: Specific app or all apps?

Fetching Data

Step 1 — List available apps

GET /v1/connect/metrics/apps

Match the user's app to an

app_apple_id
if not already known.

Step 2 — Get overview (portfolio)

GET /v1/connect/metrics?from=YYYY-MM-DD&to=YYYY-MM-DD

Step 3 — Get app detail (single app)

GET /v1/connect/metrics/apps/:appId?from=YYYY-MM-DD&to=YYYY-MM-DD

Analysis Frameworks

Period-over-Period Comparison

Fetch two equal-length windows and compare:

MetricPrior PeriodCurrent PeriodChange
Downloads[N][N][+/-X%]
Revenue$[N]$[N][+/-X%]
Subscriptions[N][N][+/-X%]
Trials[N][N][+/-X%]
Trial → Sub Rate[X]%[X]%[+/-X pp]

What to look for:

  • Downloads rising but revenue flat → pricing or paywall issue
  • 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:

  1. Top 5 by downloads — Are you investing in ASO for these markets?
  2. Top 5 by revenue — Higher ARPD (avg revenue per download) = prioritize ASO
  3. High downloads, low revenue — Markets with weak monetization
  4. Low downloads, high revenue — Under-tapped premium markets (localize)
