Long description
The long description becomes About this game / About this app on the listing, and it is the one place you can be as specific as the product is.
Open Appsinity StudioWhere it renders
The About section follows the hero, trailer and screenshot strip. Under the prose it renders four fact tiles: category, platform, install count and the age badge. Those tiles are computed from your listing fields, not written by you — which means the prose and the tiles must agree.
If the description and short description are both empty, the listing falls back to Discover <name> on Appsinity Store.
A structure that works
- Open with the verb. What the player or user does: "Build a city, then defend it turn by turn." Not what the game is "about".
- List the actual content. Track count, level count, offline capability, supported input. Numbers are verifiable; adjectives are not.
- State the platform behaviour. Which devices it runs on, whether progress syncs, and whether it needs an account.
- Name what is monetised. Ads inside your build, optional purchases, or neither. This is where Contains advertisements needs to be consistent with the declaration.
- Close with support. Where to report problems, especially if you have not published a support email anywhere else.
Length and formatting
The field is a plain text block. The store rewrites visible strings at runtime, and there is no markup or link formatting available to you in the About prose.
There is a payload ceiling that matters: Studio's API accepts bodies up to 5 MB, so a description thousands of lines long can fail for reasons unrelated to the text itself. Beyond a few hundred words, the block should be split — put specifics in the declarations and screenshots instead.
- Write for a scanner: short paragraphs, one idea each.
- Do not paste a changelog into the description; it dates the listing.
- Do not repeat the short description verbatim as the first sentence.
What must not be in it
| Never write | Because |
|---|---|
| Another company's name as a comparator | Trademark exposure — see Trademark |
| "No ads, no purchases" when the build has either | Misleading metadata |
| Ratings or awards Appsinity has not given | The star figure on the listing is user reviews only |
| A medical, financial or legal claim | Triggers the health or financial declaration, see Data safety |
| Anything you cannot show in a screenshot | The gallery is the evidence users have |
Frequently asked questions
How long should it be?
150-400 words. Long enough to answer the obvious questions, short enough that the last paragraph is not skipped by everyone.
Can I include URLs?
The privacy policy and support links have their own fields and are rendered as meta rows. Do not paste them into the prose where they are unclickable.
Does the description affect ranking?
Only through conversion: better prose brings installs, and Top Charts sort by rating × 100 + downloads.
