Submitting Your Apps for Review

Your mobile apps require similar, but slightly different, information to be submitted before your app can be released in the store. You'll need to complete each of the forms before you can submit your apps for review, this includes user-facing information that appears in the stores such as your App Name and Description, as well as supporting information about your content and data policies.

Many of your responses will appear directly on your Play Store listing. Please read this article from Google before submitting the App Information to prevent delays to your app release.

Basic Information

Your store listing is the first impression customers will have of your app. It is important to make sure it contains as much relevant information about it as possible, including the app name, description, and images. The more details you can provide, the easier it will be for users to understand the purpose and features of your app.

App Name

Your App Name (1) is an important part of your App Store listing. It should accurately reflect the purpose and theme of your app, and it should be easy to remember. It should also be no more than 30 characters and follow the Play Store guidelines for naming.

The App Name does not have to be the same in both stores, but we'd strongly recommend it for consistency.

Top Tip

Search your desired app name in the app stores before submitting your App Information form, this will help you plan alternative names and avoid delays to releasing your app. Try to avoid single words, instead adding additional words depending on your use case e.g. Courses, TV, Inc etc...

Short description

For the Short description (2), you can write up to 80 characters. We recommend you use a few words to describe your app as simply as possible. Users can expand the short description to view the full description.

Description

The App Description is a detailed explanation of your app and its features. It should provide all of the information a user needs to know about your app before they decide to download it. This should include information such as the user's expected experience with the app and your content.

The description appears above your image assets in the store, so this is the part to really sell the app with some impressive copy. The description is limited to 4,000 characters.

Category and Tags

Category

The category helps identify the kind of app you're providing in the Play Store. You can only select one category, so choose the one most appropriate for your app from the list. The category appears next to your listing in the search results.
