There are many ways to promote anything concerning your business. The most popular way is to use social media. Promoting via social media is most popular because everyone has a social media account for the most part. Another reason social media is the most popular method is because it's free of charge. There are other sites as well that will allow you to place an ad for your business on their sites also.

It doesn't really matter what you are trying to market the general marketing rules apply:
-Quality content
-Use social media
-Setup a website
-Do SEO on that website
-Build backlinks and referrals on other websites/forums/social media

Since it is mobile app specific I start out with mobile and mobile app related forums and discussion boards.
