App Store Changelog - icons, texts, screenshots

Available only for the Pro and Marketing memberships.

The Changelog screen shows how your app has changed in the App Store - versions, texts, screenshots, and visual elements.
It’s a convenient tool for analyzing the evolution of any app across time and localizations.

What is tracked

For every version, ASO.dev records changes in the following elements:

  • app version and release date;
  • app name (title);
  • subtitle;
  • description;
  • “What’s New” section;
  • promotional text;
  • app icon;
  • screenshots (for all localizations).

If a value is different from the previous version, it is automatically added to the changelog.

Timeline

The top of the screen features a horizontal timeline.
Each change is shown as a colored badge with the version number.

Timeline features:

  • the color of each badge reflects the type of change (release, title, screenshots, description, icon, etc.);
  • hovering over a badge shows a tooltip with:
    • version number and date;
    • affected localizations;
    • current and previous values;
  • clicking on a badge scrolls the screen to the detailed release card below.

Color-coded changes

Each badge color indicates the type of change - for example:

  • blue - new release (version);
  • green - title change;
  • orange - subtitle change;
  • pink - icon update;
  • purple - screenshot update.

This makes it easy to instantly understand when and what exactly changed - content, visuals, or the app version itself.

Release details

Below the timeline, you’ll find a full list of all versions.
Each version card expands and shows only the fields that were changed.

A release card may include:

  • version number, build number, and release date;
  • icon changes (current and previous version);
  • screenshot updates per localization - with before/after comparison (overlay view);
  • app name (title);
  • subtitle;
  • description (full text);
  • “What’s New” text;
  • promotional text.

If a specific element hasn’t changed in that version - it isn’t shown.

To view changes to your app’s Keywords field, use the Timeline screen.


This screen helps you:

  • quickly see what changed in each version;
  • track the history of texts, visuals, and localizations;
  • monitor changes made by your team or clients;
  • analyze how updates impacted ASO and conversion;
  • compare versions and restore previous values if necessary.
