How to Find Your App Store and Google Play Links
Where to find your app’s App Store and Google Play links — or anyone else’s — what the parts of each link mean, and the short forms that always work.
Short answer: on a phone, open the app’s page in the App Store or Google Play, tap Share, then Copy. That’s the link.
App Store link
From your iPhone or iPad
- Open the App Store and go to the app’s page.
- Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow).
- Tap Copy.
From a computer
Search the web for the app’s name plus “App Store”. The result on apps.apple.com is the app’s page; copy the address from your browser.
For your own app
In App Store Connect, open Apps, pick your app and go to App Information. The number listed as Apple ID identifies your app; once the app is live you’ll also find a View on App Store link there.
What the link means
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/your-app-name/id123456789
- us — the country store. Visitors from other countries are moved to their own store automatically.
- your-app-name — only for readability. It can be anything.
- id123456789 — the only part that matters. The short form
https://apps.apple.com/app/id123456789works everywhere.
Google Play link
From your Android phone
- Open Google Play and go to the app’s page.
- Tap the ⋮ menu at the top right, then Share.
- Choose Copy (or copy the link from the share sheet).
From a computer
Go to play.google.com, search for the app, open its page and copy the address from your browser.
For your own app
In the Google Play Console, your app’s package name (for example com.example.app) is shown under its name. Your link is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id= followed by that package name.
What the link means
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.app&hl=en&gl=US
- id=com.example.app — the package name, and the only part that matters.
- hl and gl — the language and country the page was viewed in. Remove them so visitors see the store in their own language.
Common mistakes
- Test links. TestFlight links (
testflight.apple.com) and Google Play internal or closed-testing links only work for your testers. - Developer console links. Addresses on
appstoreconnect.apple.comorplay.google.com/consoleneed your login — they aren’t public. - Apps that aren’t live yet. A store page only works for everyone once the app is approved and released (or available for pre-order).
- Country-only availability. If your app is released in some countries only, visitors elsewhere will see “not available”.
Got both links?
Paste them into the free App Store + Google Play QR code generator to get one link and one QR code that sends every visitor to the right store.
Frequently asked questions
Is the App Store link the same in every country?
The country part changes, but the app ID stays the same. Links without a country, like https://apps.apple.com/app/id123456789, send each visitor to their own country store.
Where is the package name of my Android app?
In Google Play Console it’s shown under your app’s name, and it’s the part after id= in your Google Play link — for example com.example.app.
Can I use a link to an app that is not mine?
Yes. App Store and Google Play pages are public, so you can link to any app — for example to recommend it to customers.
