Here are a few tips that I have found worked well
Bloggers:
Reach out to bloggers who have reviewed similar apps and offer them a sneak peek before launch, if the app is solid they will write about it.
Ratings:
Ask users if they are enjoying the app after 3 uses, if they say yes ask them to rate, if no ask them for feedback. This will capture bad feedback and push positive reviews
Cost:
If it is a paid app consider making it a lower price for launch so it has a greater chance of trending
App screenshots:
Show images of actual people using it, this spells out the use cases
