App Store Connect metric

App Store impressions

Apple's definition of impressions and unique device impressions, what they include, and how to use them.

Definition

The number of times your app was viewed on the Today, Games, Apps and Search tabs of the App Store for more than one second. Includes product page views. Impressions (Unique Devices) counts each device once.

Where to find it

App Store Connect › Analytics › Acquisition

The common mistake

An impression isn't interest. Scrolling past your app in search results counts. Featuring, ads and repeated searches can all inflate impressions without anyone considering the app.

What to use it for

Spotting changes in visibility, and comparing sources. If impressions fall in App Store Search but not Browse, look at rankings; if Browse falls, featuring probably ended.
