December 2024: Small improvements & fixes

Dec 31, 2024

December 2024 updates include keyword improvements, new features like release templates and App Store Award icons, and numerous bug fixes.

Here’s everything we shipped in December 2024:

Keywords improvements

You can now easily see keywords from related languages.
When adding keywords, if you were adding a word that is a prefix of an existing word in the keyword list, it was flagged as a repeat.
Keywords sometimes had an additional comma.
We now highlight all the keywords that would still fit within your limit (and an option to filter them out).
We improved the AI prompt to generate and translate better keywords.

We’ve added the option to right-click the “Improve Text” button, allowing you to choose between team or personal perspectives.
You can now easily appeal any 4-star or lower reviews.
You can now set up Helm with API keys that have the App Manager role instead of Admin
Release Templates: It’s now easier than ever to create consistent release notes for your updates by using customizable release templates
We now show a little App Store Award icon next to your app if you’re one of the lucky winners.
We now set the locale to the correct language of each text field.
Added ways to follow our BlueSky account as well.
You can now change the position of a screenshot via the context menu (right-click).
Improved error message for when translations fail

We have resolved the issue where Helm Pro would not load for users in China
We now make it more clear that In-App Purchases is coming instead of being disabled for no reason
We showed the What’s new in first version that’s live
Added help labels that show the full group name for TestFlight beta group labels.
Fixed another App Icon issue for tvOS apps.
We improved the AI prompt to generate and translate better text everywhere.
Fixed a bug that would prevent 6.9” iPhone screenshots from being accepted.
Fixed a bug that made Helm crash when adding certain screenshots.
You can now see all translations of Subtitle and Name no matter what.
We now highlight the actual error when present during onboarding.
Removed some unnecessary animations.

It’s far from finished, but we also shipped our very first update using Helm for iOS… Coming in 2025!
