We’re excited to introduce a new tool in Asodesk — App Update Timeline. It provides a convenient feed of all metadata and visual asset changes for any app. You and your team can now see exactly when specific fields — such as the title, description, screenshots, icon, price, and more — were updated, both for your own apps and for your competitors.
This will significantly simplify your analysis: you’ll get a clear release history, the ability to correlate updates with changes in visibility, downloads, and reviews, as well as track strategic moves in the market. With App Update Timeline, you’ll have a powerful tool for identifying ASO hypotheses to optimize your app’s product page.
Types of updates
App Update Timeline includes 3 types of updates:
- Metadata Updates — Title, Subtitle, Description, Promotext, Short Description, What’s New;
- Visual Updates — Icon, Screenshots;
- Technical Update — Build Size, Developer name, In-app Purchases, Categories.
Unified timeline for competitors
In App Update Timeline, you can view the update feed for any number of competitors.
Summary updates
The chart shows which updates each app received on any given date. Each colored circle corresponds to an update type — Metadata, Visual, or Technical Updates.

Each update is displayed as a card where the data is grouped by type of change.
