Problem A: If you have apps on the App Store, you probably check App Store Connect multiple times a day. We all do. The problem is that Apple’s official developer app is slow and lacks modern widget support. If you want a quick glance at your downloads, proceeds, or trends directly from your home screen or Mac desktop, you are out of luck. Problem B: In Marketing advertising we don't talk "rolling totals". The app is showing what’s relevant and actionable - comparing Week over Week, Month over Month and Quarter over Quarter. This is how we work in marketing normally and with that you can watch if activities work and with what delay etc. etc. Widgets -for App Store Connect is a collection of custom widgets designed specifically for developers. Instead of forcing you to load a clunky app, puts your downloads, proceeds, and comparative trends right on your screen. You get gorgeous sparkline charts, calendar grid visualizations of daily activity, and comparative trends for the last week, month, or quarter in a variety of visual themes. Data collection is handled in the background with a full set of debugging options, you can always pitch the data seen against what we are getting from the API. Widgets for App Store Connect is universal, one purchase - all devices MacOS, iPad, iPhone.
