FAQ

What tools do I need before launching a mobile app?

A focused launch stack usually includes a landing page, waitlist or newsletter capture, screenshot production, and a lightweight way to publish updates.

Is a landing page useful before the app is live?

Yes. A landing page can validate positioning, capture early demand, and give reviewers or potential users a clear place to understand the app.
