What's New in StoreSync 3.0 New features - Matrix Action Center — the keyword matrix now suggests concrete actions: remove dead-weight keywords, add missing Apple modifiers, placement advice, and one-click "Auto-Pack 100 Chars". - Compare versions — diff metadata between any two app versions, locale by locale, with GitHub-style inline highlighting of changed fragments (CJK-aware). - Inline diff everywhere — every before/after view (version history, translation review) now uses the same inline diff with strikethrough for removed text. - Paywall 2.0 — benefit list matches the real Pro features 1:1, contextual headlines per entry point, 3 free AI rewrites with a counter badge, and double-purchase protection (no more double charges on double click; real errors surface as an alert). - Brand accent color — signature indigo-violet accent, tuned separately for light and dark mode, applied across the whole app. Tag, badge and status colors retuned so everything stays readable in both themes. - Stricter dead-word detection — a keyword is flagged as dead weight only after ~80% of its combinations are verified with zero live hits, so an interrupted scan no longer produces false positives. Smarter, safer workflows - Pre-push review — pushing now shows exactly what will be uploaded (N locales, M fields broken down per locale) before anything goes live. - Unsaved-changes guard — switching apps with a dirty draft asks: Discard & Switch, Push First, or Cancel. Drafts also survive app switching. - Translation review — bulk translate computes first, then shows a before/after review sheet; apply per locale, per field, or select all/none. Previews now match exactly what will be applied. - Partial sync — one failing locale no longer kills the whole sync. Failures are collected per locale with a "Retry failed" button, and history is still written for the locales that succeeded. - Server-status awareness — automatic retries with backoff, a "server not responding" banner on stalled requests, and duplicate-safe version/localization creation on retry. Reliability fixes - Translation fallback no longer recurses infinitely — one retry per locale, with a failed-locales report and a success HUD only on full success. - Screenshot race condition fixed; screenshot groups cached per session. - Unverified App Store transactions no longer grant Pro in production. - Expired App Store Connect tokens refresh automatically on 401; rate limits (429) and timeouts no longer masquerade as "zero demand" or "dropped out of the top". - Clearing a field now actually sends an empty value to App Store Connect. - Sales metrics filtered by Apple ID, with proper territories and refunds accounted. - CJK tokenization via NLTagger; single CJK characters accepted as keywords. - Keyword popularity is now deterministic between launches. - Keywords field warns on lookalike commas (，、,) with a one-click fix. - Drafts save debounced instead of on every keystroke; keyword cache writes on flush. - Blacklist matching is word-boundary based; the keywords field is no longer excluded from guard scans. Earlier in 3.0 - Cross-Field Keyword Matrix: combinations glued across name, subtitle and keywords, verified against Apple search hints. - Copy any field to all locales; copy support/marketing URLs from the primary locale. - Token difficulty/popularity shown right inside the keywords field. - Download statistics per locale; language deletion with confirmation. - Hotkeys reference page; screenshot size labeled 6.9″. - Favorites renamed to Bookmarks in Competitor Lookup.

Instant Locale Addition: Newly added languages now appear immediately in the top tab bar without requiring a manual refresh. Copy Locales Shortcut: Added a quick-copy button next to the language picker to copy your entire list of active locales as a comma-separated string to the clipboard (e.g., en-US,de-DE,ar-SA). Keyboard Tab Navigation: You can now quickly cycle through active language tabs using standard browser-style keyboard shortcuts (Control + Tab and Control + Shift + Tab). ### Market Analysis & ASO Intelligence Market Density & Saturation Index: Added a new organic indicator to your ASO Analytics tab. It evaluates competitive saturation, measures the organic barrier to entry, and provides category benchmarks needed to reach the Top 10. Live Keyword Performance & Archiving: Your active keywords are now synchronized automatically with the editor fields. We have also added support for archiving and tracking historical keywords from previously published versions, marked with the specific version release. Smarter AI Keyword Suggestions: AI-recommended keywords are now programmatically filtered to ensure they do not overlap with terms already used in your App Name, Subtitle, or active Keywords. Smart Prioritization: ASO Analytics comparison charts now automatically prioritize your hand-picked Favorite competitors over suggested apps, and Favorites are now isolated and unique to each app workspace. ### Platform-Specific & Dashboard Updates Independent Platform Dates: If your app is designed for multiple platforms (e.g., iOS, iPadOS, and macOS), the sidebar now lists the independent update history and status indicators for each platform in your ecosystem. Accurate Release Dates: Corrected an issue where unreleased draft versions in "Prepare for submission" were mistakenly used to calculate the last App Store update date. Universal Device Previews: Improved support for multi-device compatibility previews, including iPadOS-specific icons and meta-details. ### Workflow Polish & Stability Persistent Refreshes: Reloading your App Store Connect catalog now preserves your active app selection, platform context, and current editor state instead of resetting.

Refined Trademark Shield: Removed the trademark "forbidden words" check from the hidden Keywords field to prevent unnecessary alerts, focusing strictly on user-visible public fields. Stability Improvements: Fixed several system-level bugs, including a rare crash that occurred when rapidly switching between apps.

What's New in Version 1.4 Platform Tab Switcher: You can now switch between metadata configurations for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS using the new platform tabs in the central menu. The sidebar list also now displays all supported platform icons for each app. Grouped On-Demand Screenshots: Resolved an issue where visionOS and universal purchase app screenshots were not loading. Screenshots are now organized by display types (such as iPhone 6.7" or macOS 16:9) and load on-demand when expanded to save network bandwidth.

You can also inspect their organic keyword suggestions with the quick-action "eye" icon directly from the search listings.

The main action button dynamically switches to "Refresh All" once an analysis is complete. AI Keyword Discovery: Use the new AI Discovery assistant to brainstorm relevant organic search keywords that are currently missing from your active metadata. Accurate Localization Banners: Fixed a layout issue where collapsing a screenshot section could accidentally hide the "Using Original Screenshots" warning banner.

What's New in StoreSync 1.3 We are pleased to introduce StoreSync 1.3. This update focuses on enhancing keyword analytics, streamlining metadata workflows, and refining the interface to provide a clearer view of your app’s performance. - Smarter Keyword & Market Analytics Historical Trend Calculation: Keyword ranking trends are now calculated more intelligently. Instead of resetting to ±0 if you run multiple scans in a single day, the analyzer tracks your current position against your last changed rank. Color-Coded Trend Charts: Sparklines and popover trend charts are now dynamically color-coded to match your ranking momentum (green for improvements, red for drops, and gray for stable ranks). Enhanced Release Cadence Chart: The release frequency graph now features a horizontal scrollbar, preventing dates from being cropped. Additionally, the bars are color-coded to visually indicate the frequency of your updates. - Simplified Localization Workflows Sync Newly Added Languages: When you add a new language, version-to-version syncing now automatically populates its empty fields by pulling metadata from your primary locale, rather than skipping the new locale. ASO Completeness Tooltips: Hovering over the progress ring of any localization now displays an instant popover listing exactly which mandatory and recommended fields are still missing before submission. One-Click Metadata Export: You can now copy all metadata fields of your active localization at once using the toolbar button or Cmd + Shift + C.

When App Store Connect rejects a change (such as exceeding character limits), the popups now display clear, human-readable bullet points.
