# App Store Description Generator

Writes App Store Connect and Google Play Console copy — an iOS subtitle, promotional text,
description and keywords field, plus a Google Play short and full description — from your app's
name, what it does, and a short feature list. It runs entirely in the browser, needs no signup, and
stores nothing.

## How to use it

1. Enter your **app name** and **what it does**, phrased as an instruction ("track expenses and see
   where money goes"), not a full sentence ("it tracks your expenses").
2. Pick a **category** and, optionally, describe **who it's for** — this sharpens the wording.
3. List up to six real **features**. Each one becomes a bullet in both descriptions and a candidate
   keyword.
4. Choose a **tone** (Professional, Friendly, Bold) and a **call to action**.
5. Read the six generated fields, copy whichever ones you need, and press **Shuffle wording** if you
   want a second, differently-phrased draft from the same inputs.

## How the six fields differ, and why

Apple and Google rank apps using different signals, and a generator that writes one block of text
and pastes it into every box gets both wrong. This tool writes each field for the mechanism that
actually reads it:

- **Subtitle (30 characters).** Sits under the app name in search results and the product page.
  It only changes with a new app version, so it's built from your strongest feature or the pitch
  itself — something durable, not time-sensitive.
- **Promotional text (170 characters).** Sits above the description and can be edited any time
  without a new build or App Review, which makes it the field for anything that changes often (a
  sale, a new feature, a seasonal message). The generator seeds it from your tone's opening line
  plus your first feature.
- **Description (up to 4,000 characters).** Apple's search algorithm does **not** index this field —
  it's written for the human reading the product page after they've already found you. It opens
  with a tone-appropriate hook, lists your features as bullets, and closes with your call to action.
- **Keywords field (100 characters).** This is where iOS search ranking actually comes from — a
  field shoppers never see. It's comma-separated with **no spaces after each comma**, which is a
  real ASO trick, not a formatting error: Apple counts every character, and a space wastes one that
  could hold part of another term. The generator also drops any word already in your app name or
  category, since Apple already indexes those separately and repeating them wastes the character
  budget on nothing new.
- **Google Play short description (80 characters).** The line shown before "read more" in search
  and on the store listing. Built as `App name: what it does`, so the name and the core benefit both
  land inside the visible 80 characters.
- **Google Play full description (up to 4,000 characters).** Unlike iOS, **Google Play has no
  separate keywords field** — Google's algorithm indexes this text directly. So the Android copy
  opens by naming the category and the core benefit together near the top, on purpose, rather than
  leading with a stylistic hook the way the iOS description does.

## Where the wording comes from

Every field is built from templates, not a black-box model, so the same inputs always produce the
same draft — and "Shuffle wording" swaps in a second built-in phrasing for the same facts rather than
generating something unpredictable. Three tones (Professional, Friendly, Bold) each carry their own
opening line, feature lead-in, and closing line; your app name, pitch, audience and features are
slotted into whichever tone you pick. The keywords field additionally pulls meaningful words out of
your pitch and feature list — filtering out common stopwords, anything already in your app name, and
duplicates — and appends them to a curated set of category-relevant terms until the 100-character
budget runs out.

## What this can't do for you

This is a strong first draft, not a submission-ready listing. It has no way to verify a claim you
make, check whether a competitor already owns a phrase, or catch a trademark conflict — read every
field before it goes anywhere near App Store Connect or the Google Play Console, and adjust anything
that doesn't sound like your actual app. Neither store rewards keyword stuffing; if a generated field
reads as a list of terms rather than a sentence, trim it back.

## Questions

**Why does the iOS description look different from the Google Play one?** Apple has a dedicated
100-character Keywords field that never appears to users, so the App Store description can stay
written for humans. Google Play has no keywords field — it indexes the description text itself — so
the Android copy repeats the category and core benefit near the top, where Google's algorithm weighs
it most.

**What's the difference between the Subtitle and Promotional Text on iOS?** The Subtitle only
updates with a new app version; Promotional Text can be edited any time, even between reviews,
without submitting a build — use it for anything time-sensitive.

**How should I fill in the Keywords field?** Comma-separated, no spaces after each comma, and skip
any word already in your app name or category since Apple indexes those separately.

**Can I paste this straight into App Store Connect or Google Play?** You can, but read it first. It's
a strong draft built from what you typed — it can't verify facts, check trademarks, or know if a
claim is accurate.

**Is anything I type sent anywhere?** No. The whole thing is JavaScript running in your browser.
Nothing is uploaded, nothing is saved, and closing the tab erases it.

**What if I don't like the wording?** Press "Shuffle wording" for a second honest draft from the same
tone and inputs — a different opening and closing line, not a random rewrite.
