Featuring nominations
Tell Apple's editors every time you ship something worth featuring.
Apple lets developers nominate launches, enhancements and new content for App Store editorial consideration. Amelia drafts a nomination for every notable update and every in-app event and saves it in App Store Connect once you approve. You send it to Apple's editors with one more tap.
At a glance
Never miss a window
Amelia watches your releases and your event calendar and drafts each nomination early, so editors have time to plan around it.
Written for editors
What is new, who it is for and why it matters, in the format App Store Connect asks for, from your own approved copy.
Honest about the odds
A nomination is a request, not a promise. Apple's editors decide what gets featured. Amelia makes sure you are always in the running.

The problem
Editors cannot feature what they never hear about.
Apple lets you tell its editors about launches, enhancements and new content weeks before they go live. Most teams never send a nomination, or remember the day before launch, when the editorial calendar is long set.

Questions
Does a nomination guarantee featuring?
No. Apple's editors choose what to feature. A clear nomination, sent on time, gives them what they need to consider you.
What gets nominated?
Launches, meaningful enhancements and new content, plus every in-app event Amelia prepares. Small bug-fix releases are skipped.
Does approving send it to Apple?
No. Approving saves it as a draft in App Store Connect. You submit it to Apple's editors from the Nominations page when you are happy with it.
How far ahead should I nominate?
At least three weeks before the go-live date, as Apple asks. Amelia sets the date 21 days out by default, or to the start of the linked event.
Can I undo a nomination?
A draft can be deleted from the ship log. Once submitted it cannot be undone in asopilot, but you can still edit or archive it in App Store Connect.
Will Apple reply?
Apple's editors review nominations but do not reply to each one.
