Tips for Creating a Successful App

Creating a new app on Console Logs is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to get your app ready for submission and make it stand out:

  1. Enter the App Name
  • Choose a unique and descriptive name for your app. The name should be between 2 and 40 characters long, using spaces to separate words. Avoid using special characters like @, #, &, %, - , _ , .(period) , or,(comma)

Pick a name that clearly reflects what your app does, making it easier for users to find and recognise.

  1. Set the Version
  • Use semantic versioning (e.g., 1.0.0) for your app to indicate updates and changes.
  • Click the "Click for more details" link if want to learn on how to use semantic versioning.

Proper versioning helps users understand new features or fixes, making your app more professional and transparent.

  1. Price Your App
  • Set the price of your app in USD. This price is displayed to potential buyers.
  • The You’ll get field shows the amount you’ll receive after the platform’s charges are deducted. For more details on how platform charges are calculated, read the Platform Charges article. Research similar apps on Console Logs and price yours competitively, considering the value your app provides.
  1. Write a Short Description
  • Write a brief description between 50-180 characters. Make it compelling, highlighting what your app does best.

Focus on the unique features or benefits of your app to grab potential buyers' attention.

  1. Provide a Detailed Description
  • Use the "Long description" field to give a full overview of your app. Include features, use cases, installation instructions, and any other relevant information.
  • Use formatting options like bold, lists, and hyperlinks to make the content more readable and appealing.

A well-written long description can significantly improve your app’s appeal. The more clear and detailed, the better users will understand its value.

  1. Fill in FAQs
  • Address common questions or concerns about your app in this section. This helps clarify support policies, refund options, or usage guidelines.
  • We've pre-filled some default FAQs, but feel free to customize them.

Anticipating user questions in the FAQ can reduce support requests and help buyers make informed decisions.

  1. Specify Licensing Details (Optional)
  • Clearly explain the licensing terms for your app. This helps users understand what they are allowed to do with your app.
  • Use the default license text or modify it based on your app’s needs.

Transparent licensing builds trust with buyers, making them more likely to purchase your app.

  1. Add a Demo URL
  • If available, provide a link to a live demo of your app. This allows potential buyers to try out your app before purchasing. Offering a demo can increase sales by giving buyers confidence in your app’s functionality.
  1. Enter a Support Email
  • Add a support email address for users to reach out with any issues or questions. Remember, this email cannot be updated later, so choose carefully.

A responsive support system builds a good reputation and encourages positive reviews.

  1. Include Keywords
  • Enter up to 5 keywords related to your app, separated by commas (,). Keywords help users find your app more easily on the platform. Use keywords that are relevant to your app’s features and target audience for better visibility.
  1. Upload a Poster Image
  • Click the "Click to upload" button and select a JPEG, JPG, or PNG image. The ideal size is 800x400px, and the image should not exceed 10MB.
  • Use high-quality images to make your app listing more visually appealing.

A clear, professional-looking image can significantly boost your app’s appeal.

  1. Upload the Source Code
  • Click the "Click to upload" button in the Source Code section to upload a ZIP file of your app’s code. The file size should be under 100MB.
  • Ensure your code is well-organized and documented for a smoother user experience.

Clean and well-documented code can lead to better reviews and more satisfied users.

  1. Preview or Submit
  • Click "Preview App" to see how your app listing will appear to buyers before submission.
  • When ready, click the "Submit for Review" button. Our team will review your app to ensure it meets our standards before it goes live.

Previewing your app helps catch any last-minute issues before submission, ensuring a smoother review process.
