App launch planning

Find what can still break your app launch

Check the evidence behind your listing, product, measurement, acquisition and operations. Export the missing work in priority order.

Build an evidence-backed launch checklist

Checklist completion, not success probability

0%

Policy, quality, platform and revenue prerequisites come first. Then work through positioning, listing, onboarding, measurement, acquisition and support. Campaign launch depends on release readiness and working measurement; tick an item only when evidence supports it.

Release prerequisite · Store listing

Create a policy checklist for every permission, data type and account flow.

Release prerequisite · Quality

Run a release-candidate test matrix on real target devices and weak networks.

Release prerequisite · Platform

Verify App Store Connect fields, reviewer access and the required screenshot families.

Release prerequisite · Revenue

Test subscription lifecycle events and store purchase restoration.

Planning · Foundation

Write a one-sentence audience, problem and promise before producing assets.

Planning · Store listing

Complete the store listing and review every field against current platform requirements.

Planning · Product

Test onboarding with people who have never seen the product.

Planning · Measurement

Choose the first user action that demonstrates meaningful product value.

Planning · Measurement

Document which system owns installs, activation, revenue and campaign cost.

Planning · Acquisition

Prepare distinct hooks and concepts, then adapt each to required placements.

Planning · Acquisition

Set the amount available for learning and the evidence required to continue.

Planning · Operations

Assign an owner and response path for support, reviews and launch incidents.

App measurement plan builder

Edit the event definitions before implementation. Avoid names, emails, advertising identifiers and free-text user content in event properties. Align consent, deduplication and revenue definitions with your analytics provider. Changing business model starts a fresh event template.

How to read the result

The percentage is the share of checklist items you mark complete. It measures completion only and does not predict installs, approval, retention or commercial success.

The checklist is intentionally cross-functional. A campaign cannot repair a broken purchase path, missing activation event or unresolved store-policy requirement.

Worked example

A subscription app can have finished screenshots while purchase restoration is still untested. Selecting subscription surfaces lifecycle testing as a release prerequisite. Assign an owner and due date, export the checklist, and keep an editable local workspace for the next review.

Definitions and method

Checklist completion is completed visible items divided by all visible items. Platform and business model change relevant prerequisites. The event-plan module produces an editable tracking worksheet; it does not install analytics or verify implementation.

Common questions

Does 100% mean the app is safe to launch?
No. It records your answers. Validate the underlying evidence, release candidate and provider requirements before launch.
Can I resume the checklist?
Save an editable JSON workspace and restore it in this browser later. Owner and date fields stay in the downloaded file; they are not uploaded. Event plans are exported separately as CSV.
What should an activation event measure?
Choose the first meaningful action that demonstrates the app’s value. Define the exact trigger and denominator before using it to judge paid acquisition.
