What should an indie developer use in 2026?
If you can connect the store, start with the search report and one listing fix. RocketASO is built for that. If you are still choosing keywords and you only ship on the App Store, a keyword app such as Astro or RespectASO matches that earlier job.
Which tools cover both stores?
RocketASO, Sonar, Appfigures, AppFollow, AppTweak, and Sensor Tower all cover the App Store and Google Play. Astro and RespectASO are App Store products.
Which number should decide the week's edit?
The installs your own report can credit to a listing change. Keyword volume and difficulty stay estimates, and another app's downloads are not a figure Apple or Google gives you.
RocketASO reads the App Store and Google Play reports for your own apps, names the one listing fix worth the most this week in dollars, and measures whether that change moved installs. 14 days free, no card.
