Today Tab
The Today tab is where over half a billion weekly App Store visitors start their journey to discover new apps.
Maximize visibility of your app with an ad on the Today tab. Ads are prominently placed and fully visible when people first arrive. Each ad features your app name, icon, and subtitle, and uses a custom product page you set up in App Store Connect as the tap destination. Assets from the custom page you select animate in the background of your ad.
