Apple usually releases new reports in the morning (EST time) but that's not always the case. And because downloads/revenue and subscriptions comes in separate reports, data might come in "out of sync".
We already track when daily reports are released, and are now tracking when subscriptions reports are released every day.
Check out the Store Status Page to see the trend, or follow @itcstatus on Twitter for daily updates.
Yes, it's "itc" status because it's been around for a whillle.
Amazon recently made changes to the Amazon Appstore that required changing how we connect to Amazon to get downloads and revenue data.
✅ We've upgraded our integration with the Amazon Appstore to address those changes and it is now available to all users.
In addition to working with those new changes, the integration now syncs faster and more reliably, and also works more securely using API key instead of account credentials.
⚠️ Important: You'll need to re-connect your Amazon Appstore account to continue syncing. Here's how →
We've got a small new feature to help you see, at a glance, which keywords apps are targeting in their name and subtitle.
The new Keyword Highlighter is available in Keyword Inspector (Ariel's favorite ASO tool) and automatically analyzes all the visible metadata of apps appearing in the results to show you what they're targeting and give you ideas quickly.
Selecting a word will highlight it across all the apps that use it, so you can quickly see where it's used.
Unlike the Competitor Keywords report, which uses performance to determine keywords, a very good way to tell what works, the Keyword Highlighter shows the keywords the app maker's chose, giving you super fast insight.

You can now choose the device (or devices) to get ASO alerts about. Which means you can now filter out iPad rank changes from your daily email alerts, a very popular request.
To update your existing alerts or set up new ones, go to Manage → Alerts.

Are you losing visibility (and downloads) because your keyword list isn't optimized?
We reversed engineer Apple's algorithm to understand how to optimize the keyword list, and built an optimizer that takes your existing keyword list and applies all the right rules. Automatically.
Don't let good downloads slip - optimizing your keyword list is really just a click away.
We've been hard to work growing the coverage of our SDK Intelligence. Over the last few months, we've added support for 57 SDKs across almost every category we support, from analytics to payments.
With this addition, we're now giving insight into 549 mobile SDKs, by app and also by SDK, across the App Store and Google Play. And with our human-assisted process there are no false positives.
See all the apps using a certain SDK in Explorer, which SDKs a specific app uses using App intelligence, or which SDKs are most popular in our Top SDKs charts.
We're constantly working to support more SDKs. If there are any SDKs you want to see let us know.
You can now incorporate your app downloads, revenue, ratings, and more right from Appfigures into a Databox dashboard to track it alongside your non-mobile data.
Databox is one of many dashboards that connect to Appfigures, with more to come!
App panels now show App Preview videos for all iOS apps and games, playable, and with sound!
Open up the app panel from any of the following to view App preview videos:
Also, you can easily find apps and games that have an App Preview video with Explorer, and then watch them right in Explorer. It's great for research!
We've expanded support for screenshots in app panels for iOS and Mac apps to support all available screenshots from all available devices and all available resolutions.
This is available for all apps across the entire platform, from Analytics to Explorer and Top Apps.
