# Overview

When you create a custom app, you can use it any time. When you finish developing and testing your app, you might share the app with selected users with an invite link.

If you want to share your custom app with **all** Make users, we have created an app review process to ensure that your app meets our app standards.

## Prerequisites

If you want to provide your app to other Make users, you have to request a review of your app first. Check the [app review prerequisites](/custom-apps-documentation/app-review/prerequisites.md) for rules and requirements.

When you request an app review, the Make QA team will check your custom app's code. If your app meets Make's requirements and follows the app development [best practices](/custom-apps-documentation/best-practices/overview.md), Make will publish your app and make the app available to all Make users. Otherwise, the Make QA team will contact you with instructions for how you should improve your custom app.

## Request app review

After you confirm that your app complies with the prerequisites, you can [request an app review](/custom-apps-documentation/app-review/request-app-review.md).

## Check the review status

The review process consists of multiple stages. You can [check the current status](/custom-apps-documentation/app-review/review-status.md) of the review in the Flow tab.

## Approved app

When Make [approves your app](/custom-apps-documentation/app-review/approved-app.md), the app becomes available to all Make users. After approval, the process of your custom app management changes.

## Maintenance of approved app <a href="#maintenance-of-approved-app" id="maintenance-of-approved-app"></a>

It is important to [keep your app up to date](/custom-apps-documentation/app-maintenance/updating-your-app/approved-apps.md) and provide support to your app's users.
