Question: Which of the following statements about app descriptions complies with recommended best practices?
- Provide a summary of the biggest benefits of your app in the short description to show what makes it a great app.
- Reuse your app's short description in your long description because users may not have seen your short description.
- Include at least three positive reviews from users in your long description to increase the incentive for users to download your app.
- Limit the content of your short description to the app name, developer name, and suggested audience.
Explanation
A short description should summarize the app’s message and biggest benefits in a compact form. Google Play recommends keeping this field concise because it appears prominently in the store listing. It should help users quickly understand the app’s core value before reading the full description. The guidance also supports highlighting what is useful or distinctive about the app without adding repetitive or misleading content.
Why the other options are incorrect
Reuse short description Google Play advises not repeating the short description in the full description.
User reviews Reviews and testimonials should not be inserted into the app description as promotional proof.
App name and developer name The short description should explain value, not duplicate basic listing fields.
