Is it possible to mark iOS app as local app?

Question

The App Store includes a 'Explore' tab, that lets the user explore some apps that can be used in the surrounding area. My app is doing the same, but how and where can I define that location?

I am close to release, so I don't know if Apple is doing this automatically.

Answer 1

Apple uses an algorithm, based on the users geographic location when he or she downloads the app. Therefore, if many people in a certain area download a specific app, it will be shown in the "popular near me" list.
