Audit Engines

Every Apptonomy audit runs a set of specialized engines in parallel. Each engine analyzes a different dimension of your app store listing and produces scored findings with prioritized recommendations. The results are synthesized into a single unified report with an ASO Readiness Score (0-100).

Screenshot EngineScreenshot effectiveness across clarity, coverage, and consistency
Icon EngineIcon quality across visual clarity, brand clarity, color psychology, and consistency

The Audit Engine orchestrator spins up all engines in parallel and synthesizes their findings. Several engines feed data to others:

  • The Competitor Discovery Engine identifies 10 competitors used by the Keyword Engine, Screenshot Engine, Icon Engine, and Sentiment Engine for benchmarking.
  • The Keyword Engine provides keyword data used by the Store Text Engine for semantic clustering and per-field analysis.
  • The Sentiment Engine extracts user intents from reviews that feed into the Intent Engine.
  • The Intent Engine provides intent data used by the AI Discovery Engine for prompt generation and coverage mapping.

Each engine produces an individual score (0-100) that contributes to the overall ASO Readiness Score.
