How to Set Up Your App's Google Play Store Listing

Open the "App store listing" page in the Google Play Console.

Begin with entering a short description (up to 80 characters) of your app. It doesn't need to be a full sentence, but it can't be a list of keywords either.

For the full description, describe your app in detail. Usually it's better not to just copy a text from your website but instead write a unique text. Here are some tips:

• Make sure you follow the Google Play Developer Guidelines. These are the most commonly violated rules:
  • Don't call or describe your app as the 'best app for ...' or 'ultimate ... app', as Google considers that to be deceptive.
  • Don't mention any prices in the app descriptions.
  • Don't mention any functionality that doesn't exist in your app (yet)
• You can take a look at other popular app's descriptions on the Play Store for inspiration.

Next, download your app icon.

Afterwards, upload the app icon image you just downloaded in the Google Play Console. You must use the same icon in the app icon settings and in the Google Play Console.

Next, download the feature graphic. You can also create your own feature graphic. It's supposed to be a promotional image for your app.

Afterwards, upload the feature graphic in the Google Play Console.

Scroll down a bit further to the screenshot section. You only really need to upload at least 2 phone screenshots, the other types are optional.

You can take screenshots here.

If you'd like to edit your screenshots, we recommend that you check out our guide on taking and editing screenshots to make sure you follow the Play Store guidelines.

Click the "Save" button at the bottom right. Depending on your device's screen size, it might be hidden in the overflow menu with the three dots.
