What is the App Store Icon?

The app store icon is the only creative element that appears throughout the user journey in the app stores. For organic users that find an app or game through top charts, search, or featuring placements, it appears in every listing. For paid users that land directly on an app store page from an ad, it’s one of the main visual assets they see on the first impression.

Why App Store Icons pages are Important

The app store icon is the only creative element that appears throughout the user journey. Thus, the icon plays an important role in enticing users to further explore an app store product page and increase their intent to install.
