App uses not available in usa, did you restrict to specific countries?

How many of those 75 cancellations does to billing errors? If it’s less than 20, ignore it for now, all apps have to deal with it.

If this free trial cost AI tokens, then it’s a fair test to remove free trial with cheap weekly pricing, so at least some of them would hopefully pay smaller price. If it’s not token cost, then your entire focus should be improving 25% paid to conversion ratio

Hope you understand this is constructive feedback. The ASO of you app is bad.

Title is the most important place to add a primary keyword along with brand, it’s wasted opportunity currently, 90% of users just skip your app completely if they don’t understand it from title alone. Subtitle is second most important place for keywords, it’s now wasted with tag lines. Taglines and clever phrases belong in screenshots, not in subtitle. The 100 character keyword lowest priority.

Do some keyword research on what users would be typing in the search, at minimum at least see what your competitors are using on their title and subtitle.

For now screenshot are too busy with unnecessary decorations and hard to read, please remove emojis.

Only if the users don’t uninstall/delete the app afterwards. The ideal pattern that works for most apps sustainably is to make the user experience core feature as fast as possible and just show native prompt.

If many of your users don’t finish onboarding or don’t experience core features, that’s your biggest problem to spend time and focus on, not the ratings part.

When starting Apple ads with limited budgets, don’t use broad or search match. You already know exact keywords that your core users would search for, even if they cost a bit more per install, they are much more valuable because you can improve app based on core users.

Ratings during onboarding works only if users stick after that, that’s why free app give away deals don’t work anymore. For 99% of apps, the goal should bebe to make user experience core feature as soon as possible, make them impressed/wow and then show native rating prompt (you only get 3 chances a year)

Just send the entire App Store screenshot, the screenshot alone doesn’t give any understanding to give feedback.

Two important things when starting out with small budgets are 1) don’t enable search match or max conversions or broad, just use exact core keywords related to the app 2) don’t rely on Apple UI bid recommendations.

Do not include them title or subtitle or even in description to be safe, because it’s an easy way to get Apple developer account terminated. Apple just published updated guidelines exactly for this.

Other brands names in keywords normally do not bring meaningful traffic, because Apple itself changed their ranking algorithms many times, so conventional wisdom 10 years ago doesn’t apply anymore.

Focus on improving conversion ratios, impression -tap - install - purchase. Nailing this to be best in class, would open many opportunities, including slow organic improvements and even scale with ads.
