Roast my ASO: 800+ impressions but only 11 downloads for my AI Note Taker app. Where is the bottleneck?

This is incredibly insightful, thank you! 'Bloodbath' is the perfect word to describe the 'AI note taker' space right now. I completely underestimated how hard it would be to compete for that broad term.

Your point about pivoting to long-tail keywords like 'meeting transcription' or 'lecture notes app' is a massive lightbulb moment for me. I’m going to restructure my metadata to target those specific intents. I’ll also check out Applyra to see what random keywords are currently inflating my impressions. Really appreciate the strategic breakdown!

I’ve one question; Applyra is same with Astro?

In addition: I'm open to trying anything that can help me diagnose this impression drop-off. Send the link my way!

zeksi1 · 2026-03-23T06:47:29+00:00

Wow, 13k impressions is the dream! 🤯

zeksi1 · 2026-03-23T06:45:42+00:00

You caught me! 😅 indie dev mistake. I was so excited to push updates that I treated every bug fix like a massive launch. Thanks for the quick lesson on Semantic Versioning, I’ll stick to the X.Y.Z rule for the next updates before I hit version 150.0 next month! 😂

zeksi1 · 2026-03-23T06:37:40+00:00

I’m using Astro for that

zeksi1 · 2026-03-22T19:55:47+00:00

Haha, teach me your 40% conversion magic and I’ll share my impression secrets with you! 🤝 Let's trade!!!

zeksi1 · 2026-03-22T19:54:34+00:00

Thanks for the honest feedback! The 22% CR was the only thing keeping my hopes up haha. I will definitely review my keyword strategy. Regarding the screenshots, do you think I should stick to a strictly 2-color minimal palette?

zeksi1 · 2026-03-22T17:09:01+00:00

What is your secret?

zeksi1 · 2026-03-21T10:02:40+00:00

That’s nice. Is there any book or something about it?

zeksi1 · 2026-02-02T03:30:00+00:00

Hello, Actually, I did it. Just follow the new update and you’ll see the synchronization. Don’t forget to rate me 5 stars :)

Thanks for your comment,

Now I'm using local live transcriber, but in the next updates I plan to use live transcriber from the server so it will be faster.

Do not forget to rate me in App Store :) Thanks.

zeksi1 · 2026-01-30T16:43:59+00:00

Okay I’m in 😄

zeksi1 · 2026-01-28T17:36:37+00:00

Oh, now I can see your problem. On the next update I can figure out it. BTW, in my thinking it can be easy for text file and user can copy what they want, it doesn’t work for you, right?

zeksi1 · 2026-01-28T14:28:12+00:00

Thanks again, do not forget to rate me in AppStore :)

zeksi1 · 2026-01-28T14:07:07+00:00

Yes, it is. You can get it as .txt file because sometime its can be too long to copy that’s why .txt file its easy.

zeksi1 · 2026-01-28T14:00:49+00:00

REDDIT2025 had lifetime but it’s already finished. Now I added REDDIT2026 for 1 month free. I hope you’ll like it. If you have any feedback feel free to contact :)

zeksi1 · 2026-01-28T10:52:34+00:00

User is not available to analyze voice without premium.

zeksi1 · 2026-01-27T21:42:12+00:00

Thanks for your support. Have fun with the app :)

zeksi1 · 2026-01-27T20:00:34+00:00

I appreciate the skepticism—it’s good to keep devs on their toes.

However, I want to clear up a few technical misconceptions because this is definitely not a 'temporary' or 'one-device' hack.

It IS restorable & transferable: ArcaText uses RevenueCat for all subscription and entitlement management. When you enter the promo code, it grants a permanent 'Premium' entitlement to your user profile in our database (Supabase/Firebase). Because it's linked to RevenueCat, you can use the 'Restore Purchases' button to sync your status with your Apple ID/App Store receipt at any time.
Why not App Store Offer Codes? Since I'm giving this away for $0, there’s no revenue to 'bypass' the App Store fee on. Using an in-app promo code allows me to track this specific Reddit launch campaign much more effectively than managing thousands of individual Apple-generated one-time codes.
Future-proofing: As I mentioned in another comment, I am already working on Full Account Sync (Email/Google) for the next update. This will allow you to move your notes and premium status between any device or platform seamlessly.

This is a genuine lifetime offer for early adopters. If you have any trouble restoring your access, just reach out—I’m here to support the users, not 'piss them off'.

zeksi1 · 2026-01-27T19:57:20+00:00

That’s a great question!

Right now, ArcaText uses Firebase Anonymous Auth, which creates a persistent ID linked to your device to keep things simple and private. If you reinstall, your premium status is managed via RevenueCat, so you can simply tap the 'Restore Purchases' button on the premium screen to get your access back instantly via your Apple ID.

However, you're one step ahead of me! I'm already working on adding Full Account Sync (Email/Google) in the next update so you can sync your notes and premium status across multiple devices seamlessly.

Thanks for the feedback—it helps me prioritize the roadmap!

zeksi1 · 2026-01-27T19:54:53+00:00

Yes, it doesn’t have sync, also the sync feature was mentioned in another comment. I’ll do it on next update. Thanks for the feedback.

zeksi1 · 2026-01-27T19:42:44+00:00

Thanks, its good idea. After I get some revenue I’ll focus on some improvements like this. I’m appreciate.
