Questions

Does Premium change where I rank?

No. Your row is gold and labeled Premium, and it sits wherever its votes put it, like every other launch that day.

Do I need the badge?

For a free launch day, yes: a plain, visible, followed link to your app's MacPip page on your own site. For a listing, no. With Premium, no.

What if the badge comes down after my free launch?

You get one heads-up email and a grace day to put it back. Still gone then, the launch leaves the home page and the weekly email, its Friend perks switch off and its link turns nofollow. Put it back and it all comes back.

What if my app does not pass the check?

You get your money back. An app that fails the check can't buy a launch.

The whole badge rule is in our rules.
