Settings
Settings screen in ASO.dev allows you to personalize your experience with the platform, including choosing a theme, interface language.
Also available are settings for each screen and additional features: translation provider API keys, app-specific password and AI prompts for working with reviews.
Language
Section titled “Language”
Language - Choose the language you prefer to work with the platform interface.
Base language for translations - Choose the language to translate keywords in the keywords tables and metadata editing, as well as user reviews.
Localization
Section titled “Localization”
Provider connections and task priorities are configured separately in ASO.dev.
In Settings → Integrations, search for a provider and enter the connection fields shown on its card: API key, base URL, region, supported capabilities and default models, where applicable. The fields depend on the provider. Google Translate is available as a built-in translation option.
Then open the relevant task section:
- Translations: Provider — enable translators and arrange their fallback priority.
- AI: Provider — enable providers for text generation and analysis, with their own priority and models.
- Images: AI Model — enable image-generation providers and choose their image models.
A configured connection can serve more than one task. Enabling a provider for translations does not automatically enable it for text or image generation. Change keys and connection details in Integrations, and change task order in the corresponding provider section.
You can configure the translation provider of your choice (Google Translate, DeepL, Chat GPT, Claude AI) in the ASO.dev settings and also set translation exclusions.
Google Translate
Google Translate is available by default as a free translation provider in ASO.dev.
It is enabled in the default translation configuration. Keep it enabled in Translations: Provider if you want to use it as your main translator or a fallback.
DeepL, Chat GPT, Claude AI, DeepSeek, Gemini, OpenRouter
DeepL, OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini and OpenRouter provide alternative translation options with their own API keys, plans and limits.
DeepL is a dedicated translation integration. The AI providers can also serve text-generation tasks when enabled in AI: Provider. Compare translation quality on your own metadata, terminology and target languages.
To use these providers, you need to obtain an API key, enter it in the settings, and, if necessary, select a model or specify additional parameters.
How to Set the Priority of Translation Providers
In Translations: Provider, change priority by dragging active provider cards or using their move buttons.
The order determines which provider will be used first when translating content.
Disabling a Translation Provider
To disable a specific translation provider, simply toggle the switch to the “Off” position.
This provider will no longer be used for content translation.
You can also change the order of providers to adjust their priority.
Brand Names
Section titled “Brand Names”
If you need to exclude certain words or phrases from translation, such as brand names, follow these steps:
- Enter the keyword or phrase you want to exclude from translation.
- After entering a word, press Enter or .
Comma-Separated List: You can enter multiple keywords or phrases, separating them with commas.
Case Sensitivity: The list is case-sensitive, so make sure to enter keywords exactly as they are written.
Excluded words or phrases will remain in their original language and will not be altered during translation.
This is especially useful for maintaining consistency with brand names, technical terms, and other important phrases.

Metadata: Versioning
Section titled “Metadata: Versioning”
These options belong to the current project and control the version suggested when creating a new version in the metadata editor.
You can manage your app’s versioning more flexibly.
By default, when the major version is increased, the minor version remains unchanged (for example, version 1.2.3 will become 1.3.3).
However, you have two configurable options in the settings:
- Update Minor Version: Automatically increments the minor version while keeping the current major version. For example, version 1.2.3 will become 1.2.4.
- Reset Minor Version on Major Update: When the major version is increased, the minor version resets to zero. This means version 1.2.3 will become 1.3.0.
For a two-part version, the second number is incremented: 1.2 → 1.3. Check the suggested version before saving.

- Line Chart - shows the change in the number of keywords in each position range over time as separate lines, each starting from 0.
- Spline Chart - the same as Line Chart, but with smooth lines instead of sharp angles.
- Stacked Linear Chart - the values of position ranges are summed up, each line is built on top of the previous one, creating an accumulation effect.
- Normalized Stacked Linear Chart - similar to Stacked Linear Chart, but normalized in percentages (summing up to 100%).

Security
Section titled “Security”
Proxy-server
Section titled “Proxy-server”
Proxy server - configure a proxy server for secure use of the App Store Connect API.
The proxy server helps reduce the risks of blocking and restrictions from Apple, as well as ensures confidentiality and security when working with multiple developer accounts.
Required — recommended as a second safeguard if all your workspaces must use a proxy. Enable this global setting in addition to configuring a proxy in each workspace. If a workspace has no active proxy configured, ASO.dev blocks its App Store Connect API requests before sending them; it does not fall back to a direct connection. This also protects against accidentally creating or opening a workspace without a proxy.
Active - enabling a proxy server for secure use of the App Store Connect API.
Host - the address of the proxy server, which you can get from your administrator or service provider.
Port - the port of the proxy server, which you can get from your administrator or service provider.
Requires authentication - setting the requirement for authentication to access the proxy server.
Login - login to access the proxy server, which you can get from your administrator or service provider.
Password - password to access the proxy server, which you can get from your administrator or service provider.
The Check button tests the connection to the proxy server to ensure it is set up correctly. If successful, it displays the current IP address as seen through the proxy.
When checking the IP address, two methods are used, each called in turn:
- Server request - checks the IP address from the ASO.dev server.
- Third-party system - checks the IP address using the third-party service ipify API.
If the check fails, you will see an error message.
The connection errored: Connection refused This indicates an error which most likely cannot be solved by the library.
App specific password
Section titled “App specific password”
This section is available only for the selected workspace.
App specific password for Apple ID - in this section, you can add an app-specific password from Apple ID to use it in integration with App Store Connect.
It’s used to get access to Analytics from App Store Connect, as well as to send a complaint to the review.
Or log out of the Apple ID account if you want to use another account.
App Store Connect
Section titled “App Store Connect”
App Store Connect API issue? - This setting is reserved and can be enabled automatically if necessary.
It is designed for situations where the App Store Connect API is not functioning correctly.
For example, to address the error where the Apple App Store Connect API in the metadata editor incorrectly returns the list of app versions.
When enabled, an alternative API will be used, which may be slower but can help resolve issues.
Note that this setting is not saved and must be enabled each time you start ASO.dev, as the API issue is likely temporary.
Localization Providers Setup
Section titled “Localization Providers Setup”- Open Settings → Integrations and find the provider by name.
