Finding your app

When you submit your app, Base44 reviews it before it’s listed. Once it’s approved, your app gets its own Launchpad page, but it isn’t added to Current week automatically. Base44 chooses each week’s contest apps from approved listings, so your app can be published without appearing under Current week. To enter an invite-only contest yourself, submit your app from that contest’s page. See Submitting your app. Check your app’s status in My submissions. Each app shows one of these statuses:
  • Pending review: Base44 is reviewing your submission. You can still edit or withdraw it.
  • Published: Your submission is approved, and your app has its own Launchpad page.
  • Rejected: Your submission wasn’t approved. Open your app’s Launchpad page to read the feedback, then edit your submission to send it for review again.
  • Needs changes: The security scan found issues, so your app was taken off Launchpad. Open your app’s Launchpad page to see what to fix, fix it in your app, then edit your submission to send it for review again.
  • Unlisted: Your listing was removed from Launchpad.
To check your submission status:
  1. Click Launchpad under Community in the sidebar.
  2. Click My submissions at the top of the page. This button appears once you’ve submitted an app.

About Launchpad

Launchpad helps you put your app in front of the Base44 community.

Get discovered

Showcase your app to the Base44 community.

Drive votes

Share your listing so more people try your app and vote for it.

Win contest prizes

Compete for prizes, such as Base44 credits.
Launchpad hosts contests such as Best app of the week. Each contest has its own page with its voting dates, prizes, and rules. Winners are chosen by community vote or, in Judged contests, by a Base44 panel from the top-voted apps. Contests shared by link only show an Invite only badge. Browse the current contest under Current week, or explore winners and other apps from past public contests in Wall of fame. Between contests, Wall of fame is the only tab. How voting works:
  • Who can vote: Anyone can browse Launchpad. To vote, sign in to Base44, open an app’s Launchpad page, and click Upvote.
  • Daily votes: You can upvote each app once a day, and your votes add up over time. You can’t vote for your own app.
  • Fair start: Upvotes are hidden for the first few hours of each contest, so every app gets a fair start.
Contest entry rules:
  • Your app must be public and published, and its listing approved.
  • Each app can enter one contest at a time.
  • You can have one approved app per contest.
  • Some contests limit entries or restrict eligible categories.
  • Invite-only contests take entries before voting opens, and some also accept entries during voting.

Preparing your submission

A strong submission helps people decide to try your app and vote for it.

Clear value

Help people understand what your app does and why they should try it.

Strong visuals

Add screenshots or a short demo video that show your app at its best.
Use these tips to make your submission stronger:
  • Choose accurate categories: Select up to 3 categories that best describe your app.
  • Tell the story: Explain who your app is for, why you built it, and what makes it different.
  • Use content you have rights to: Upload only content you own or have permission to use.
Open your app in the app editor and ask the AI chat to help prepare your Launchpad submission:

Submitting your app

Submit your app from the top of Launchpad to create its listing. To enter an invite-only contest, submit from that contest’s page instead.
Before you submit: Make sure your app is published and public. Only public, published apps appear in the list when you submit.
To submit your app to Launchpad:
  1. Click Launchpad under Community in the sidebar. For an invite-only contest, open the link shared with you instead.
  2. Click Submit your app at the top of Launchpad, or on the invite-only contest’s page.
  3. Select your app, then click Continue. On an invite-only contest’s page, if your app already has a Launchpad listing, this enters it in the contest and you’re done.
  4. Complete each section of the Submit your app page:
    • Selected app: Wait for the security scan to finish. If it finds issues, click Open Security, fix them, then click Run scan again. To choose a different app, click Select another app. To update your app, click Manage app.
    • Launch details: Select up to 3 categories, then enter a short Tagline and a Description that explains who your app is for, why you built it, and what makes it different. Click Improve with AI to refine your text, and click Preview your Launchpad card to check how your app looks.
    • Showcase your app: Upload up to 5 screenshots or a demo video. Screenshots work best at 1280 x 720 pixels or larger. Videos can be MP4 or WebM, up to 50 MB. Drag items to reorder them.
    • Rules: If this section appears, review the contest’s rules.
    • Terms & Conditions: Click Read to review the Launchpad Terms of Service.
  5. Click Submit.

Managing your submission

Go to My submissions to edit your listing, withdraw your app from a contest, or remove its Launchpad listing. To manage your submission:
  1. Click Launchpad under Community in the sidebar.
  2. Click My submissions at the top of the page. This button appears once you’ve submitted an app.
  3. Next to your app, choose an action:
    • View: Open its Launchpad page.
    • View contest: Open the contest your app entered, even after it ends.
    • Edit submission: Update your submission details.
      • Before voting opens, or outside a contest: Editing an approved listing sends it back for review, and it’s hidden from Launchpad until it’s approved again.
      • While voting is live: You can change only the logo and screenshots. Approved listings stay live when you do.
      • After voting ends: Your approved listing is locked to preserve the contest results, so you can’t edit it or remove it from Launchpad.
    • Withdraw from contest: Remove your app from the contest before voting opens. Your Launchpad listing stays live, but your app’s votes and comments from that contest are permanently deleted. Click Withdraw to confirm.
    • Remove from Launchpad: Delete your Launchpad listing, including its votes and comments, without deleting your app. If your app is in a contest, removing the listing also withdraws it from that contest. You can remove the listing until voting ends. Click Withdraw to confirm.
