What is Coming in Altis v1.3.0
We have been listening. Your feedback is the compass for everything we build at Altis, and version 1.3.0 is a direct result of the priorities you shared with us. This update focuses on making your ASO workflow faster, more accurate, and frankly, a lot more intuitive.
Here is a look at what is landing in the next version.
1. Explorer Agents Get a Massive Brain Upgrade
The semantic improvements in this version are a total game-changer. Our explorer agents are now significantly better at understanding context and intent. If you have been looking for that “secret weapon” feeling when hunting for keywords, the difference in v1.3.0 is going to be impossible to miss.
2. Reliable Volume Data (Without Depending on Apple)
Let’s be honest: Apple’s data has become a bit of a rollercoaster lately. To give you back some stability, we have refined our volume estimation models. We are moving toward a system that does not rely solely on Apple’s provided figures, ensuring you have the insights you need to make decisions even when the official sources get quiet.
3. “Smarter” Smart Suggestions
We want to help you save every possible character in your metadata. Version 1.3.0 introduces logic to filter out “not-so-smart” suggestions. Altis will now automatically avoid suggesting your own developer name or app name, preventing you from wasting precious keyword space. This applies to everyone, including those on our free plan.
4. Deep Dive into Competitor Tracking
Tracking the top 10 competitors is getting two major upgrades:
- No More Data Gaps: Previously, data was only stored when your app was sitting in the top 10. We have fixed that. You will now have a consistent view of the landscape regardless of your current rank.
- The Time Machine: You can now “go back in time.” Instead of just seeing the most recent data point, you will be able to track historical shifts to see how the competition has evolved over time.
5. Polishing the Experience
Beyond the big features, we have squashed a long list of minor bugs to make the interface feel snappier and more reliable.
We are in the final stages of development and cannot wait to get these tools into your hands. In the meantime, keep an eye on your rankings and stay tuned for the official rollout.
