Can you promote in r/appstore?
Your place to discuss anything and everything App related.
The short answer
Be transparent, use the Self-Promotion flair, provide a short description and screenshots, link only to the official store, invite feedback or discussion, and limit to one post per week.
What works here
- Posting your app with 'Self-Promotion' flair
- Including short description and screenshots
- Linking to official app store pages (no referral codes)
What gets posts removed
- Posting more than one app post per week
- Using referral/affiliate links or unrelated monetization
- Posting low-effort or off-topic promotional content
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditSelf-promotion allowed with conditions
The rules explicitly permit sharing your own apps but require the 'Self-Promotion' flair, a limit of one app post per week, description/screenshots, only app store links, no referral/affiliate links, and encourage discussion rather than pure promotion.
Stay on topic
Posts must relate to apps/app stores/updates/reviews — off-topic content will be removed, so promotional posts should be clearly app-related.
Moderator discretion
Mods can remove posts/comments that break the spirit of the rules, so follow guidelines closely and avoid borderline promotional behavior.
