Google Play Metadata Validator
Enter the title and both descriptions of your Google Play listing: character limits and metadata policy rules are checked together.
Privacy and cost
This tool runs in your browser. What you type or paste is not sent to our servers and it costs nothing to use.
How it works
- Enter the app title, short description and full description.
- Each field is compared with the limit given in Play Console help: 30, 80 and 4,000 characters.
- The title is also checked against Google Play's metadata policy: emoji, ALL CAPS, repeated symbols, claims like "#1" and price or store-program words.
Example
PulseFit listing: title "PulseFit Home Workout Planner" 29/30, short description 62/80, full description 487/4,000. No problem and nothing to improve: no emoji, no caps, no claim and no word repeated 6 times or more.
What the result means
Red: a limit exceeded or a pattern that Google Play's policy forbids in the title. Orange: good practice (heavy repetition, caps, a short description that only repeats the title). No search volume is shown: this is a text check.
Common problems this tool helps with
- A title over 30 characters cannot be saved in the Play Console.
- Emoji, ALL CAPS and repeated special characters in the title go against the metadata policy.
- Mentions like "#1", "best of Play" or "free" in the title count as prohibited claims.
- A very repetitive full description can be judged as keyword stuffing.
Frequently asked questions
What are the Google Play listing limits?
According to Play Console help: title 30 characters, short description 80 and full description 4,000.
Can I put "free" or "#1" in the title?
Google Play's metadata policy forbids store-performance claims and promotional pricing in the title. Avoid them.
Does this replace three separate checkers?
Yes: title, short description and full description are checked here at once.
Is the repetition threshold a Google rule?
No. Google warns against repetitive keyword use without giving a number; the tool's threshold is a good-practice guide.
