Google's help page says the production access form has a section "About your app/game." It asks for your target audience, your app's value proposition, and an estimated first-year install range. Source: Play Console Help, retrieved 2026-10-23. Check the current form, as fields can change.
This page helps with the first two. For the install estimate see estimate first-year installs. For the test section see answering the test questions.
Aim for clarity, not marketing
The form isn't a store listing. Plain words beat slogans. A reader should understand in two sentences who the app is for and what it does for them.
Fill-in framework
Target audience
"[Who] who [situation or need]. Mostly [platform/age/region, only if true]."
Check: - Is it a group you could actually describe to a friend? - Does it match the app's real features? - Avoid "everyone".
Value proposition
"[App] helps [who] to [do what] by [how it differs or how it works]. Instead of [current way], they can [new way]."
Check: - One main benefit, in verbs. - Something a tester could confirm from using the app. - No superlatives you cannot back up ("best", "number one").
Example (illustration only, don't copy)
Example for a made-up habit tracker:
- Target audience: "Adults who want to build one or two daily routines and find big habit apps overwhelming."
- Value proposition: "The app tracks up to three habits with a one-tap check-in and a weekly summary. Instead of managing long lists, users see only today's tasks."
Now compare a weak version: "A revolutionary app for everyone who wants a better life." It says nothing you can check.
Do and don't
- Do reuse words from real tester feedback if it describes the app well.
- Do keep it consistent with your store listing.
- Do say who the app is not for if that is useful.
- Don't promise installs, rankings or ratings.
- Don't copy text from other apps' listings or from examples like the ones above.
- Don't claim features the app doesn't have.
Self-check before you submit
- Could a stranger repeat your audience and value in their own words?
- Does every claim match the build testers used?
- Is anything in it a hope rather than a fact?
