App Audits

I grew my own apps to 5M+ downloads with no ads. I'll tell you what I'd change in yours.

I've done this across my own portfolio: store listings, onboarding, paywalls, retention, and pricing. I'll go through your app the same way and send you the fixes that matter most, in writing.

Written reports delivered in about 5 business days, or book a live call instead.

The pains this solves

Sound familiar?

  • You're not getting enough installs, and you don't know if it's the listing or the app itself.
  • People land on your store page and bounce before they even tap install.
  • Your trial-to-paid conversion is quietly bad, and you can't tell why.
  • Users install, poke around for a day, and disappear.
  • You're not sure your positioning says what you think it says.
  • You're charging the same price everywhere, and leaving money on the table in every country that isn't the US.

I've made most of these mistakes on my own apps first. Here's how I can help with yours.

Pricing

Pick your audit

Five options, one card each: what it is, what's in it, and the price. The four audits are written reports; the Strategy Call is live. Full detail is in the process, decision helper, and FAQ below.

App Store Listing Audit

$59

Your App Store or Google Play listing, read the way a first-time visitor sees it.

  1. First impression & positioning
  2. Title, subtitle & keywords
  3. Screenshots & icon
  4. Fixes ranked by impact

Includes 40% off your first year of PricePush (renews at full price after year one).

Website Audit

$59

Your marketing or app website: how people find you, and where they drop off before converting.

  1. SEO & site structure
  2. AEO: visibility in AI search
  3. Conversion drop-off points
  4. Fixes ranked by impact

App Audit

$149

Everything after the install: how your app converts, keeps, and monetizes users.

  1. Onboarding & paywall
  2. Pricing & localization
  3. Retention & positioning
  4. Your top 3 priorities, ranked

Includes 40% off your first year of PricePush (renews at full price after year one).

Strategy Call

$199 / 60 min

A live hour on your app, or your app business: pricing, positioning, what to build next.

  1. Pick a time after checkout
  2. We meet on Google Meet
  3. Recording afterward
  4. Written top-3 action list
PricePush

PricePush bonus

40% off your first year of PricePush

Included with the Listing, App, and Full App audits.

PricePush sets the right price for your app in every country, based on what people there can actually afford instead of a plain currency conversion, then pushes those prices to the App Store and Google Play in one click. If you sell in more than one country, you're probably leaving money on the table in most of them.

The process

How it works

  1. Pick an audit and check out.

    Prices are in USD.

  2. I go through your app myself.

    I install it, use it like one of your users, and work through the whole funnel myself.

  3. You get a written report in about 5 business days.

    If you booked the Strategy Call, you get a link to pick a time that works for you, and we meet on Google Meet.

  4. You get a prioritized list, not just a pile of problems.

    What to fix first and why.

Track record

Why listen to me

I've been in the app industry since 2013, across security, finance, e-commerce, and startups, before going fully independent in 2021. Selanto Apps, my own portfolio, is 8 apps, 5M+ combined downloads, and a 4.6★ average, grown entirely through ASO, positioning, and conversion work, without a cent of paid acquisition.

Pricing is where I've spent the most time experimenting. Years of regional pricing tests on my own apps became PricePush, the tool I now run across nearly 150 apps. On my own portfolio, localized pricing alone drove a 20–50% revenue uplift with no extra traffic. Same apps, same users, priced right.

I've also reviewed more than 100 other developers' apps, and the same handful of things quietly cost most of them installs and revenue.

This page is that same process, ASO, funnel, and pricing work, applied to your app instead of mine.

Developer testimonials

What developers said after I reviewed their apps

Real words from developers after I went through their apps, the same read a paid audit delivers.

I honestly didn't expect a reply like this. It's one of the most useful things anyone has sent me about my app, and you did it for a stranger. The reframe alone was worth the whole message. This is the kind of message that changes what a solo founder does next month.
Vincent, founder of Evibe
I'm totally blown away by your analysis. This is truly great advice, and I'll be following it right away. Super spot-on.
Gene, founder of WageCop
The advice is stellar. I care deeply about the problem I'm solving, and I'm going all in on it to get my churn down.
Josh, founder of Gym Note Plus
Thanks a lot for such a detailed answer. This is exactly the kind of answer I was hoping for, and really helpful.

FAQ

Questions

How long does this take?

Written audits ship in about 5 business days from when I have everything I need from you. The Strategy Call happens whenever we schedule it.

Is this a call or a written report?

The four audits (Listing, Website, App, Full App) are async. I do the work, you get a written report. The Strategy Call is the only live option.

What's the difference between the App Audit and the Full App Audit?

The App Audit ($149) covers everything that happens after someone's already installed: onboarding, paywall, pricing, retention, positioning, discovery. It doesn't touch your store listing. The Full App Audit ($199) adds the Listing Audit on top, so you get the complete funnel in one report, for less than buying the two separately. If you're not sure your listing is fine as-is, get the Full App Audit.

Do I need the Listing Audit or the Website Audit?

They cover different assets. The Listing Audit covers your App Store or Google Play page. The Website Audit covers your marketing or app website: SEO, AEO (whether AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity can find and recommend you), and where visitors drop off. If people find you through Google or an AI search before they ever open the App Store, start with the Website Audit.

What do you need from me?

A link to your live App Store/Google Play listing or website, and access to test your app if it's behind a login or paywall. I'll ask for anything else specific right after checkout.

Do you sign an NDA?

I'll keep anything you share confidential without one. If your company requires a signed NDA, email me before you buy and we'll sort it out.

Can I get a refund?

No. This is custom work. I start on your app as soon as you check out, so refunds aren't available once the audit is underway.

Will you fix things for me, or write the code or copy?

No. This is advisory: you get findings and a prioritized fix list, not implementation. I won't write your App Store copy, redesign your paywall, or touch your code.

Do you guarantee results?

No. I'll tell you what I'd change and why, based on what I've learned doing this on my own apps since 2013. What happens after that depends on what you do with it, plus factors outside either of our control.

Is this legal, tax, or financial advice?

No. It's product and growth feedback from another indie developer. For anything legal, tax, or financial, talk to someone licensed for that.

The fine print

The fine print, in plain English

  • Advisory, not implementation.You get findings and recommendations, not code, copy, or design files.
  • No guaranteed outcomes.I can't promise install numbers, revenue, or rankings will move by any specific amount.
  • Non-refundable.Once I start on your audit, it's not refundable: the work is custom to your app.
  • Not legal, tax, or financial advice.I'm a developer, not a lawyer or an accountant.
  • Confidential by default.What you share with me about your app or business stays between us.
  • Liability capped at what you paid.My responsibility for this service is limited to the fee you paid for it.

Ready when you are

I'll review your app with the same rigor I bring to my own.

Mistakes, fixes, and 5M+ downloads worth of lessons since 2013, now pointed at your app instead of mine.
