The app is installed on Galaxy smartphones, tablets, and watches, making it freely accessible to anyone. As of September 2025, the number of monthly active users has exceeded 50 million since its launch in August 2019.

Within the app, users can both learn about the Sustainable Development Goals and donate either the revenue they accumulate by watching advertisements or a direct amount of their choosing.

According to Samsung Electronics, users have shown the most interest in the following Sustainable Development Goals: ending poverty, ending hunger, clean water and sanitation, good health and well-being, and quality education.

Samsung Electronics operates a matching fund, donating an amount equal to the donations generated by users' advertisement revenue. The funds raised are used by the UNDP to support the Sustainable Development Goals.

Meanwhile, the Samsung Global Goals app has received several honors, starting with the Innovation Award at CES, the world's largest electronics and IT exhibition, in 2020, followed by an Honorable Mention at the Social Impact Awards in 2022, and a Bronze Award in the Partnership and Collaboration - Responsible Technology category at the Anthem Awards in 2024.
