App Store Nominations & RocketSim Discount
Last week, Apple made it easier to submit your app to the App Store Editorial team. This change may increase your chances of getting featured on the App Store. Although there is no public API for this new submission process, Apple has made it simple to import new nominations. As a result, we have updated our App Store Promote feature to support this new import option.

Getting featured on the App Store with App Store Nominations.
Getting featured on the App Store can greatly increase your app’s visibility and downloads. Helm makes it easier to nominate your app by helping you create great submissions for the App Store editorial teams.
The app offers a simple way to prepare your nominations, starting with content you already have, like your What’s New text or past submissions. For Pro users, AI assistance helps you write persuasive update stories, and you can save drafts for future use. When you’re ready, export your nomination to CSV and submit it through App Store Connect with just two clicks.
Helm’s intelligent defaults and automation streamline the process by:
- Detecting your app’s platform and available localizations
- Setting submission dates 3 weeks out (recommended timeframe)
- Automatically labeling first versions as “App Launch”
- Enabling quick selection of your other apps as related recommendations
- Naming submissions based on version numbers
This thoughtful automation lets you focus on what matters most - crafting compelling content that showcases your app’s unique value to the App Store editorial team.
Main features at a glance:
- One-click CSV export for App Store Connect
- AI-powered update story writing (Pro)
- Draft saving capability (Pro)
