ASO Dashboard – effective analysis of traffic sources on the App Store
Dmitry Kofman, the ASO Director for Gambino Slots, told us how they work with App Store Connect data and why correct data visualization is essential for both the ASO manager and the marketing director. He told us how they now use ASO Dashboard from ASO desk for traffic analysis and data visualization.
Here are the main advantages of ASO Dashboard that Dmitry Kofman highlighted:
- Tracking of unique installs, interactions, or page displays and conversion to installation ratio;
- Conversion analysis by country;
- Comparison by traffic channel;
- Analysis of the general picture over a particular period and setting actionable KPI (this one’s more useful for weekly or monthly overviews);
- An interesting possibility to compare data by Installs vs. App Units;
ASO Dashboard is a great tool for data analysis and, it’s good not only just for organic traffic, but for advertising traffic as well. This tool will help you understand the ASO sphere better and deeper from your own point of view due to its flexible visualization.
We offer an expanded trial for ASO Dashboard connection, just send us request!

Apple WWDC 2019 Review: iOS 13 and More
Apple announced the update of the operating system for iOS devices. We chose the essential points that will be important to application developers, marketers, and, of course, ASO managers.
iOS 13: what to expect?
- FaceID unlocks up to 30% faster.
- App Downloads are going to be 50% smaller, with 60% smaller updates.
- App launch speed will be accelerated up to twice as fast.

- With iOS 13 you can use new Memoji Stickers in Messages
