Better promotion sharing for Android apps in Reddit

Jan 04, 2019


Sharing your promo codes campaigns in Reddit is a really common use-case for Promies users. Finding and posting (by respecting the rules of each subreddit) to a relevant subreddit full of potential users is one of the most efficient ways to have a successful promo code campaign.

The problem we identified is that Android developers posting the Play Store url in Reddit have a less ideal experience because the app icon is not fetched as a thumbnail in the Reddit post. This could lead to decreased exposure and might affect the promo code campaign.

We solved this issue by making the public Promies promotion page compatible with Reddit thumbnail fetching. Therefore now when you share a Promies promotion page in Reddit the thumbnail of the app icon will be visible in Reddit for Android and iOS apps.

Now, this might not be a breakthrough feature but we do believe that makes sharing promo code campaigns for Android apps in Reddit as prominent as their iOS counterparts. Enjoy!
