Ver. 2026.14.0 - 06/10/2026

NEW

• You can now delete all the ratings of an app and start over. Right-click the app in the sidebar and choose “Delete Ratings…”: Astro removes its ratings and their history, then downloads them again from scratch. Use it when the app’s ratings have been reset in App Store Connect, since after a reset the stores that went back to zero stopped updating.
• In the same menu, “Delete…” is now called “Delete App…”.

FIX

• On macOS 15 the width of the table columns wasn’t saved: it went back to the previous one when you switched between Keywords and Ratings or reopened the app.
• On macOS 15 the Keywords/Ratings switcher and the store button in the toolbar flickered at every letter typed in the search field.
• On small screens, such as a laptop set to a larger text size, the window was wider than the screen and couldn’t enter full screen. The window now fits the screen.
• Improved keyword suggestions in the MCP server, with better support for non-Latin languages such as Korean, Japanese and Arabic.

Ver. 2026.13.1 - 01/10/2026

NEW

• You can now choose the height of table rows. In Settings there is a new “Row Height” option, and it applies to the keyword, suggestion and ratings tables.

FIX

• On macOS 14 and 15 the keyword suggestions sheet could open with empty rows: the suggestion name and the popularity, difficulty and apps count values were missing. They are back.
• The Position column didn’t always refresh after rankings were updated, and kept showing the previous ranking.
• The app icons in the Apps in Ranking column no longer spill over the next column when the column is narrow.
• The ranking chart now takes its color from the period you are looking at, instead of the timeframe selected in the table.

Ver. 2026.13.0 - 23/09/2026

NEW

• Performance improvements across the keyword table: sorting, filtering and scrolling are more responsive, especially with a large number of keywords. The same improvements apply to the keyword suggestions table.
• Table rows are slightly taller.
• Hovering a tag shows its name as a standard tooltip.

FIX

• Filters for popularity, difficulty, ranking and change didn’t always apply when you moved them. They now do, every time.
• Dismissed announcements could come back. Closing one now sticks, and closing a confirmation message no longer brings back an announcement you had already dismissed.

Ver. 2026.12.0 - 18/09/2026

NEW

• Wrap a search term in quotes to filter keywords by an exact match: searching "daily" now shows only daily, not daily journal. Without quotes the search keeps matching anything that contains the term.
• The MCP server now handles app platforms. You choose the platform when you add an app, and keyword additions, rankings and App Store searches all follow it.

FIX

• License checks are more reliable. Astro now recovers on its own from situations that could make it ask you to activate a license that was perfectly valid, and when something does need your attention it tells you once, with a clearer message.

Ver. 2026.11.2 - 16/09/2026

NEW

• Astro is now built for macOS 27, together with a set of fixes for problems that only showed up on that version.

• Fixed keyword selection being drawn in gray instead of your accent color on macOS 27.
• Fixed the Keywords/Ratings switcher and the trend timeframe selector in the toolbar showing up empty on macOS 27.
• Fixed a problem where a momentarily unavailable keychain could deactivate a valid license. License checks now tolerate temporary failures instead of concluding that the license is gone.
