Setapp collections
Setapp contains multiple collections. This tool helps users to quickly find a needed app based on user's occupation or task. There are permanent and temporary collections in Setapp. Temporary collections can cover some tech trends (e.g., AI features) or seasonal trends (e.g., Sonoma release).
In Setapp, we add apps to collections manually. This article explains how we choose apps for each collection.
Common rules and criteria
Most of the collections have specific rules, but all of them share three standard rules:
- The number of collection apps must be at most 15. Ten is the perfect quantity.
- Each 3 months we review apps in collections. The top-5 installed will definitely get a place in the collection when it is reconsidered. The rest of the apps may be replaced with new apps if there are proper candidates.
- The app rating must be higher than 85% unless a specific criterion exists for the collection.
Note
You can always request information about your app performance from your Developer Support Represetative or by email: [email protected].
