Live from the App Store Connect API

They looked. Didn't buy. See why.

Somewhere between "saw your app" and "paid you", people vanish. FunnelHound is an App Store Connect analytics app for iPhone that turns your reports into one funnel — Impressions → Installs → Purchases — so you can see where they go, and fix the stage that pays.

Early access

Early birds pay half. Forever.

Join the waitlist and lock in a 50% discount at launch, plus one of the first TestFlight invites. Why the bribe? Early users find the rough edges before the App Store does. That's the trade. Early-bird pricing closes the day the app ships.

The whole journey

Impressions → Installs → Purchases.

Three stops between a stranger and a customer. FunnelHound watches all three — and the two gaps between them.

👀

Impressions

Someone saw your app on the App Store — search, charts, or Today. Visibility, not interest.

📲

Installs

They committed and downloaded. The gap before this one is your icon, screenshots and ratings at work.

💸

Purchases

They paid. The gap before this one is your onboarding and paywall. This is the number that matters.

Why this exists

"I shipped an update, downloads fell off a cliff, and App Store Connect couldn't tell me why. FunnelHound is the dashboard I built to find the leak in my own apps. If you've ever stared at a graph wondering which of ten causes it was, this is for you."

— Emin, indie iOS developer

01 · Milestones

Every spike gets an explanation.

Add releases, posts, and notes. They pin to your charts at the date they happened, so you never wonder what caused a jump again. Compare the 7 days before and after any release without exporting a thing.

One tap renders a square video of your graph drawing itself — funnel filling, rings sweeping, counters rolling — on a branded canvas. Preview it, then share as video or still image.

03 · The funnel

Every arrow is a conversion rate you can improve.

From "someone saw my app" to "someone paid me" — five stages, four leaks. Hover a stage to see what to fix when it drops.

Deletions: the metric Apple hides.

App Store Connect's dashboard never shows you deletions. FunnelHound puts them front and center — a spike in deletions after a release means something in that release drives users away.

Cross-reference crashes on a specific OS version with deletions and you get a fix-this-now signal, not a vague trend.

Reports lag real time by 2–3 days — Apple's pace, not ours. First-time report requests take 24–48h before data appears.

04 · The dashboard

Analytics that prompt action, not confusion.

Every report App Store Connect exposes, distilled into one dashboard of tiles — each one built to answer a question, not decorate a slide.

🗂️

Every report, one screen

Discovery, downloads, purchases, deletions, sessions, crashes — the reports that cover your money funnel, pre-arranged on first launch.

🧭

Source split

Search, Browse, App Referrer, Web Referrer — see which channel carries your growth and where each one leaks.

🕳️

The leaky bucket

Installs pour in, deletions drip out. Net adds shown as the water level — churn made obvious to non-analysts.

📈

Deltas, not just totals

Every metric shows change vs the previous period. Absolute numbers inform — deltas prompt action.

🏁

Benchmarks built in

Tap-through and conversion gauges with your category's benchmark marked on the dial. One glance: "is my icon working?"

🔐

Your keys stay yours

Your App Store Connect API key lives in the Keychain on your device. Data flows from Apple to you — nowhere else.

Apple Intelligence

Every chart, analyzed on your phone.

One tap runs your real funnel data through Apple's on-device model — trends, leaks, what to fix next. Nothing leaves the device. Pro, on iPhones with Apple Intelligence.

Live previews — drawn here the same way the app draws them.

Setup

Four steps. Five minutes.

Create an API key

App Store Connect → Users and Access → Integrations. Generate a key with access to your app.

Import it

Enter the Key ID and Issuer ID in Settings, then import the .p8 private key file.

Pick your app

Choose from your apps, or enter the numeric App ID directly.

Add Vendor Number

For installs and purchases in the funnel — find it under Sales and Trends.

First-time analytics report requests take 24–48h before Apple generates data. That's Apple's kitchen — we just plate it.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What is a good App Store conversion rate?
Depends which rate: impression → download averages roughly 3.5–4% on iOS, page view → download around 25% on the US store. The honest benchmark is your category's median in Apple's peer group percentiles. Learn more
What's the difference between impressions and product page views?
An impression = your icon visible on the store for 1+ second. A page view = someone actually opened your listing. Visibility vs engaged interest — the gap between them is your tap-through rate. Learn more
Can I see how many people delete my app?
Yes — Apple reports deletions from opted-in devices, but buries them. FunnelHound shows deletions next to installs, so a churn spike after a release is impossible to miss. Learn more
How do I check my app downloads on my iPhone?
Apple's App Store Connect app covers basic sales. For the full funnel — impressions, conversion rate, deletions, traffic sources — you normally need the website. FunnelHound brings those reports to your phone. Learn more
How do I create an App Store Connect API key?
Users and Access → Integrations → generate a team key, download the .p8 file, note the Key ID and Issuer ID. Add your Vendor Number for sales reports. About five minutes end to end. Learn more
What is a good tap-through rate on the App Store?
Search traffic typically converts impressions to page views at 3–6%, varying by category. Low tap-through almost always means icon, title or subtitle — that's all a user sees before tapping. Learn more
Is my App Store Connect data shared with anyone?
No. Your API key lives in the iOS Keychain on your device, and the app talks directly to Apple's API. Nothing passes through third-party servers — your numbers are between you and Apple.
Why is my data 2–3 days behind?
Apple generates reports on a delay — typically 2–3 days for daily data, and 24–48 hours before a first-ever analytics request produces anything. Every tool on the App Store Connect API has the same lag. That's Apple's kitchen; we just plate it.

Stop guessing. Start watching the funnel.

Each stage you fix compounds through the rest. Join before launch and half price is locked in for good.
