Launch Google App Campaigns (Google Ads) to Acquire Users

Assuming your goal is user acquisition, Google App Campaigns is the clear primary channel for Android apps. It automatically places ads across Google Play, Search, YouTube, and the Display Network to drive downloads. If your goal was instead displaying ads to earn revenue, integrate Google AdMob.
Runner-up
Scale user acquisition with creative-heavy campaigns on Meta Ads (Instagram/Facebook) and TikTok Ads.
Wildcard
Incentivized video ad networks like Unity Ads or AppLovin if scaling a mobile gaming title.
Best time
Set up Firebase conversion tracking in your app before launching ad campaigns to optimize cost per install.
