Spændende ASO Nyheder fra Apple’s 2 Juni, 2014 Special Event.

Hvis du arbejder med Mobil or App udvikling er du formentlig begejstret for at høre nyheder om iOS 8 og alle de nye funktioner som platformen tilbyder. Udviklere er allerede ved at undersøge, hvordan disse nye funktioner, kan hjælpe dem med at opdatere og forbedre eksisterende apps. Apple annoncerede også et par mindre, men vigtige, opdateringer til deres iOS-platform. Her er et par vigtige opdateringer, der vil have en indvirkning på ASO, App udvikling og optimering af Apps.

Inden vi kaster os ud i disse nyheder, mindede Apple os om at der idag er 1,2 millioner apps er tilgængelige i App Store. En påmindelse om, at ASO dag for dag bliver bliver mere essensielt for til at tiltrække nye brugere. Om din App er fantastisk eller ej, er sansynligheden for at blive fundet i Apple’s App Store direkte relateret til hvor mange resourcer du allokerer til dit ASO budget.

New “explore” function in the App Store

En ofte misforstået del af ASO universet er, at 63% af brugere finder deres apps via søgning. Det er simpelthen ikke sandt. Undersøgelser viser, at 63% af brugerne fandt apps gennem såkaldt “browsing” i Apple App Store, ikke søgning. Apple tager dette faktum alvorligt, og har nu udviklet en ny “opdagelse” funktion, der lader brugerne “browse” i butikken. Præcis hvordan denne funktion virker er ikke blevet afsløret, men fra de screenshots, vi så i WWDC præsentation er der blandt andet en “populære i nærheden af mig” funktion der muligvis erstatter den nuværende “genius” funktion.

Apple also added a “trending searches” to the App Store, to give consumers a fresh and real time updated idea of what’s hype in the store. Searches will be presented on a scrolling list, so that the user can browse faster through search results, and will now be showing related searches next to your search terms.

Editor’s choice

Det nye Editor’s Choice mark will now be shown next to the app icon, when browsing or searching the store. Yes, Apple curates the App Store, although worrying how that is done might prove futile. Instead, spend your energy on developing a great app. That will give you a better shot at getting an editor’s choice logo.

App bundle

If you are an app developer with multiple apps in the App Store, you will soon be able to bundle your apps and sell them at a discounted price. Further research is required as to how this affects or will be affected by ASO. Once that data is in, we will update this article.

Video previews

Developers will be able to make multiple short videos of great features so that users can make certain that it’s an app that they want and need. This is a great opportunity for developers to ensure that users get to see some of your app’s best features – and should prove easier to demonstrate than with just a photo.

Testflight beta service

Finally, a new beta test service called Testflight was introduced. This service allows developers to invite users to beta test their app, while storing the results of the beta testing inside testflight. The service is free.

All this and more will be available to end-users in the fall of 2014, so start planning your future strategies.
