Really nice app. I read most news on my mobile these days, so have no problem in not getting the magazine. The archive going back to 2012 makes it amazing value for money.

Listing score

Our ASO checklist, run on this Google Play listing.

Grade B

Average rating (3.6): Low. Many people skip apps under 4 stars.
Description (365 / 4000): Short. Google Play searches the full description, so a thin one leaves keywords out.
Title length (10 / 30): There’s room for a keyword after your brand, e.g. “Brand: What it does”.
