What is helping—and what should change?
Priority fixes
Description looks keyword-stuffed
"aircraft" makes up 3.7% of the description — repetition this heavy reads as keyword stuffing to users and risks store spam filters.
Recommended actionRewrite the repeated phrase into natural sentences and use variations instead.
No preview video
Neither store requires a video, but listings with one convert noticeably better, and conversion feeds ranking.
Recommended actionAdd a 15-30 second preview of the core flow.
Negative reviews go unanswered
Only 0% of the stored reviews have a developer reply. Replies lift ratings and are read by both stores as an active-listing signal.
Recommended actionReply to every 1-2 star review; many users raise their score after a reply.
No privacy policy linked
Play suppresses listings with an incomplete data-safety section, and a missing policy blocks that section from being valid.
Recommended actionPublish a privacy policy and link it in the store listing.

What the store itself requires
Apple App Store rules that apply to Flightradar24 | Flight Tracker
Quoted from Apple App Store's own documentation, with the source for each. These are the published requirements — we report what the public listing shows against them and never assert a violation we cannot see.
Removal after three years without an update
Apple evaluates apps for removal when they have not been updated in three years AND fail a minimal download threshold over a rolling 12 months. Developers get 90 days' notice to ship an update. Apps that crash on launch are removed immediately, with no notice.
What this report can see: We can see the last update date. We cannot see download volume, so we cannot say whether the second condition is met.
Apple Developer — App Store ImprovementsWhat Apple says drives search ranking
Apple names two groups: text relevance — the title, subtitle, keyword field and primary category — and user behaviour, including downloads, ratings and reviews. The keyword field holds 100 characters, comma-separated with no spaces between terms.
What this report can see: We can audit the title, subtitle and category. The keyword field is not public, so it is never scored.
Apple Developer — App Store searchProduct page limits
App name 30 characters, subtitle 30, promotional text 170 (editable without shipping a release), up to 10 screenshots and 3 app previews of 30 seconds each. Apple advises against adding keywords to the description for SEO.
What this report can see: Name, subtitle, screenshots and previews are all publicly visible and audited.
