Can I add a hyperlink to an Apple app store description

Tags:

app-store

I have an app published in the app store. Its description includes a link to a web page. However, it is not click-able, just regular text.

There is no preview option on iTunes connect (the developer console) so it's not possible to test using html in the description.

So, is it possible to use html, or some other markup to create a 'live' link in the app store?

Can you change App Store description?

Optional - Update the App Store information - In the menu iOS App > New version of the app, you can edit the screenshots, promotional text, description, keywords, support URL and marketing URL. There are more elements you can add if you want, but only these ones are mandatory.

How do you write an App Store description?

The ideal description is a concise, informative paragraph followed by a short list of main features. Let potential users know what makes your app unique and why they'll love it. Communicate in the tone of your brand, and use terminology your target audience will appreciate and understand.

How do you enter a promotional text in the App Store?

The app's Promo Text should provide information about the app itself, as users will see it early on. It should be a strong, eye-catching introduction that conveys the purpose and benefits of the app, so users know what they'll get from it.

HTML formatting is not allowed in the description. From the iTunes Connect Developers Guide:

Description: A description of the app, detailing the features and functionality. Limited to 4000 characters. The description should be in plain text, with line breaks as needed. HTML format is not supported.

Please see the link the App Store Documentation for details.
