- Released in March, last updated in June — 2 months stopped. You know what that does with the rankings.
- 9 reviews with grade 4.9 — great grade, very low volume. You’ve already dealt with the problem of asking for evaluation at the right time.
- 6 screenshots, but the name has no keyword but “Alarm Clock”.

Agree with the ratings; that's probably one of my biggest struggles right now.
I was considering asking users to leave a rating during onboarding, but based on recent news, Apple has patched that method and doesn't count them as actual reviews.
I also think rating numbers are localized to the user's country (might be wrong on this lol), because on App Store Connect it says I have 37, most within Eurasia.
Regarding the name, what other keywords do you think might be good for an alarm app? There's a 30-character limit for the name, so It's hard to optimize
