Galaxy Watch Banner and Android App Promotion

App promotion can increase daily downloads by 4 to 5 times.

You can request promotion of one or more of your Galaxy Watch or Android apps. Apps that meet selection criteria can be promoted, which run for at least a week but may run longer.


After you submit a promotion request, Samsung will evaluate your apps to determine whether promotion is well-suited based on but not limited to the following approval criteria:

For all your apps (not just the apps to be promoted):

  • Global gross sales
  • 30-day total of all Galaxy Store badge clicks
    For details, see Galaxy Store Badge Promotion.
  • Total of all app product detail pages recently visited
  • Percentage of app downloads out of total detail page visits
  • Total recent revenue for all paid apps and in-app items

For your submitted images (Galaxy Watch banners only):

  • Image and file size requirements
  • Editorial app review
