The 3 things that matter
Ranked by consequence, not by effort. A blocker stops the listing publishing; a quick win is the cheapest remaining move.
- 1Critical
Keyword density is 13.7% — Google penalises stuffing above 5%
31 occurrences in 227 words
Cut repetitions until it reads naturally. Play's semantic understanding detects this and suppresses ranking.
Why it mattersPlay detects repetition that does not read as language and suppresses ranking for it. Past the threshold the field works against you.
- 2Critical
No ratings yet
With zero social proof the listing converts on copy and visuals alone. Add an in-app review prompt at a success moment — SKStoreReviewController on iOS, the In-App Review API on Play — before spending effort on keywords.
Why it mattersBoth stores use rating volume as a ranking input, and a listing with none has to win on copy and screenshots alone.
- 3Warning
pentomino repeated across title and Short description
pentomino
Replace pentomino in the short description with terms the title does not already cover.
Why it mattersBoth stores index a word once. A repeat buys no extra ranking and spends characters that could have covered a different query.

- Warning
Description uses 1456 of 4000 indexed characters
1456/4000
Google Play indexes this field heavily — unlike Apple, where it is not indexed at all. You are leaving roughly 2544 characters of ranking surface unused.
Why it mattersThis is the largest indexed field Google Play has. On Apple the same field earns nothing, which is why one description cannot serve both stores.
- Note
Description uses no bold or lists
1456 characters, plain text
Play renders bold, italic and list tags. On a phone the first screen of a long description is a wall unless something breaks it up.
Why it mattersPlay indexes the whole description, so length is not the problem — reading it is. Emphasis and lists are the only formatting the store renders, and plenty of large listings skip them, so this is an opportunity rather than a fault.
- Note
Promotional text could not be read
The 170-character promotional text sits above the description and updates without a release. It is not indexed, but it is prime conversion space — check App Store Connect.
Why it mattersIt is the only copy on an Apple listing that can change without shipping a build.
- Note
No preview video
Worth far less on Play than on iOS — video does not autoplay and few people tap it. Deprioritise unless you already have the asset.
Why it mattersA preview autoplays in search results, where a static screenshot does not move. It is usually the largest single conversion gain still available.
- Note
Screenshot caption text not assessed
Play does not index caption text, so this is a conversion question rather than a ranking one.
Why it mattersApple indexes the text drawn on screenshots, and reading it means reading the images rather than the listing markup. This check does not do that.
What this check could not see
- Which languages the Play listing is translated into — Play does not publish the list, so localisation breadth is scored on iOS only.
- Screenshot caption text — requires reading the images, not the listing markup.
- Keyword search volume and exact rankings — needs the Apple Search Ads API or a live rank crawl, not a single listing fetch.
Larko Studio — the rewrite
Title, subtitle, the byte-counted Apple keyword field, both descriptions and screenshot captions, per store and per locale. Every variant re-measured against the limits after it is written, so nothing over-length ever reaches you.
Built and not switched on. We are finishing the free surfaces first, and we would rather find out whether anyone wants this than assume it.
The written analysis
The verdict, the brand-tier reasoning, and the three things to fix first in priority order rather than forty findings of equal weight. The numbers stay computed — the analysis explains and prioritises them, it never recounts them.
Built and not switched on. It costs money per run, which is the one thing this stage is designed not to spend yet.
Larko Watch — did the change work
Daily rank observation per keyword, per store, per country, joined to the history of your metadata. So a subtitle you changed on Tuesday ties to what happened to the rank, instead of to a hunch.
The history it needs is already accruing daily — it cannot be backfilled later, so it starts before the feature does. The feature itself is further out than Studio.
