App Description

App Description is a detailed summary of what the app does, its key features, and benefits, as displayed in the app store. This section provides potential users with essential information about the app’s functionality and value proposition, helping them decide whether to download it. 

A well-crafted app description should be informative and engaging, highlighting the app’s unique selling points and addressing the specific needs or problems it solves for users. By clearly outlining the app’s main features, developers can effectively communicate the app’s advantages and set it apart from competitors in the crowded app marketplace.

Both the App Store and Play Store allow you to write a description of up to 4,000 characters. In the App Store, keywords don’t add search value. On the other hand, adding keywords to your description can improve searchability. Don’t do keyword stuffing on Play Store. For example, avoid writing as in “fitness, fitness app, exercise, abs, wellness, eating plan.” Remember, write with your audience in mind. Ensure your description does not mislead users about your app’s relationship to another entity or include irrelevant references to other apps or products.

Avoid repeating the short description in the full description, and ensure the entire store listing is suitable for a general audience by avoiding profane, vulgar, or inappropriate language.

Additionally, your app’s store listing should not contain descriptions or graphic depictions of violence or threats to any person or animal. Avoid including text that indicates store performance or ranking, such as “App of the decade,” “#1,” or “Best of Fitness 20XX,” and do not include promotional information like “25% off,” “$100 cash back,” or “free for this month only.”

Whether the app description impacts or does not impact search rankings, a compelling and well-written description plays a crucial role in improving conversion rates. When users land on the app’s page, they are more likely to read the description to understand what the app offers. 

An engaging description that resonates with the target audience can significantly increase the likelihood of downloads. This involves using persuasive language, emphasizing benefits over features, and incorporating social proof such as user testimonials and awards. 

Regularly updating the app description to reflect new features, updates, and improvements can also help maintain user interest and engagement, ensuring the app continues to attract and retain users over time.
