Can you promote in r/droidappshowcase?

The premier showcase for Android developers to share apps and users to find exclusive deals and promo codes.

The short answer

Post using the sidebar template, include a direct link to an approved app store, disclose your role, stay within 1 app post/week, and engage in the comments rather than only promoting.

What works here

  • Posting your Android app or game (with a direct link to approved stores)
  • Running legitimate giveaways or promo codes using Promo/Giveaway flair
  • Requesting feedback, testing, and discussion about your app

What gets posts removed

  • Posting more than 1 app per week from the same account
  • Link-dumping, affiliate links, APKs from unapproved domains, or low-reputation sites
  • Obvious promo-only accounts, excessive self-promotion, or scammy/unclear giveaway claims

Allowed developer posts & giveaways

Sidebar and public description explicitly invite developers to post apps and give away subscriptions/keys to bring users.

1 post/week self-promotion limit

Rule limits self-promotion to 1 app post per week per account to prevent spam.

Giveaway requirements

Promo/Giveaway flair allowed but offers must be legitimate and explain how to claim; scams banned.

Link and hosting requirements
