Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Stuff people usually ask before they send a link. Missing something? Email hello@launchlook.app and I’ll answer (and probably add it here).

What do you actually test?+

We walk your live URL like a first-time visitor on desktop and phone. No GitHub, no repo. Typical checks:

  • Signup and login. Confirmation and password-reset emails actually arrive.
  • Forms and checkout. Contact, booking, payment. Silent failures are #1.
  • Mobile layout. Tap targets, menus, overflow, CTAs at phone width.
  • Trust pages. Privacy, terms, contact/support links that work.
  • Dead links and buttons. 404s and clicks that go nowhere.
  • Placeholder and dev-only content. Fake stats, seed data, dev shortcuts on prod.
  • First-visitor paths. Homepage to core action without getting stuck.

A person edits the list before you see it. No raw dump of 200 warnings.

How do you review the app?+

We click through your app. Signup, contact forms, checkout if you have it. We submit stuff and check if confirmation emails show up. That’s how we catch “the form looked fine but nothing ever sent.”

A person edits the list. Tools help us spot things faster. Before you see anything, junk gets cut and wording gets cleaned up.

You get a short list from a real walkthrough, not a wall of automated warnings.

Which platforms do you support?+

Any vibe-coded web app with a public URL. We often review Lovable, Bolt, Base44, and Replit apps. Also v0, Cursor-built apps, Webflow sites, and others. If your builder outputs a shareable link, we can usually review it.

Is this only for mobile apps?+

No. We review web apps built with any vibe-coding tool (Lovable, Bolt, v0, Cursor, etc.). “Phone check” means we load your URL at mobile width in the browser, not the App Store.

Do you need my code, GitHub, or any account access?+

No. We only need your public URL (and for Scale Up / Pro, optionally two dummy test accounts for the data-isolation check). We never ask for GitHub, a repo export, your codebase, or your Lovable login.

That matters if you built in Lovable or Bolt and never set up GitHub. You’re not doing anything wrong. Tools like VibeDoctor are built around connecting a repo; LaunchLook is built around the link you already share with beta users.

If you share logins, use dedicated test accounts with dummy data, not admin, billing, or real customers. Submit them in the intake form only, never by email. Deleted within 24 hours of delivery. See our privacy policy.

I’m worried you’ll steal my idea or pass it off as your own. How do I know you won’t?+

Fair question.

We only see what anyone on the internet can see. Your live public URL. Same as a random visitor. No source code, no Lovable login, no GitHub. If it’s not public yet, we can’t see it.

One person reviews your audit: me (Rob), the founder. Not a team, not outsourced. Screenshots get deleted after your report goes out.

I’m a technical writer, not a dev trying to clone your app. I couldn’t rebuild what you built if I tried, and I don’t want to. One bad story in the Discord and I’m done. So yeah, I take this seriously.

If you still want something in writing before sharing your URL, email hello@launchlook.app and I’ll send a one-page mutual NDA by return. No questions asked.

How is this different from a security scanner?+

We focus on what visitors see: broken UI, placeholders, trust pages. For deep security, use something like VAS. Use both if you can.

I built my app with Lovable / Cursor / Bolt. Why do I still need a review?+

Your builder is built to ship fast. It doesn’t pretend to be a confused first-time user, wait for signup emails, or catch the button that dies on a phone.

Built-in tools cover one slice of launch prep. Lovable’s SEO check helps Google index you. Bolt and similar linters catch syntax. None of them submit your contact form and wait for the confirmation email, load your URL at phone width, or flag “Dev Bypass” still on the login page.

What we see on almost every app we review:

  • Silent form failures. Submit looks fine. Nothing sends. No error. #1 thing we find.
  • Mobile layout. Buttons you can’t tap, CTAs hidden behind the menu. Desktop preview lies.
  • Dev junk on prod. Seed data, fake ratings, “Dev Bypass” still live.
  • Missing trust pages. No privacy policy, terms, or contact that works.
  • Robotic copy. Vague hero lines people feel even if they can’t name it.

Most apps have 5 to 15 of these before the founder would notice on their own.

Scale Up and Pro go deeper: data isolation, Stripe/login/email/analytics checks, and compliance basics on paid flows.

My app is still on a preview URL. Can you review it now?+

Yes. Lovable preview URLs, Vercel staging URLs, and any publicly reachable URL work. We flag anything that will need to be different on your custom domain (like a missing canonical or noindex setting). localhost won’t work.

Can I share my report publicly?+

Your report arrives as PDFs by email. Forward them to teammates or freelancers. If you want a link for Reddit or social, reply “share” to your delivery email and we can publish a sanitized web page at launchlook.app/r/{your-slug} (private by default). Reply “unshare” to take it down. See a sample Main Report PDF on the site.

How is a Webflow checkup different from a vibe-coded app checkup?+

Webflow is a site builder, not an AI app generator. The same human review applies, but what we look for shifts to Webflow-specific launch risks: form submissions that silently fail, accidental noindex, missing JSON-LD, Designer-to-live mismatches, and breakage at Webflow’s 991 / 767 / 478 breakpoints.

Paste-into-Designer fix text is written in Webflow Designer language (Pages, elements, settings), not “paste this into Lovable.” We still only need your live URL, never your Webflow account or Designer login. Scale Up and Pro tiers that include a user data isolation check are aimed at vibe-coded apps with logins; most marketing Webflow sites don’t need test accounts.

Already live and one flow is broken?+

Broken Flow Review ($49) is for post-launch triage: one named flow, up to 5 findings. Not a full pre-launch audit.

Use it when one path is failing: signup stalls, checkout never confirms, onboarding hits a blank screen, or a form submits with no email. Name the flow in intake; we walk it on desktop and mobile and return focused findings with paste-into-builder fix text.

What you get: a short PDF scoped to that flow. What you don’t get: a full 10 to 40 finding audit, data isolation check, Loom, or Handoff Report. Those stay on Starter / Scale Up / Pro.

How it works: pay $49, complete intake (broken flow + live URL), report within 48 hours. Same 7-day refund if it’s not useful. Not on the main pricing page because most people need a full checkup before launch.

Do you offer refunds?+

Not happy? Email hello@launchlook.app within 7 days of delivery for a full refund.

Why isn’t this $1 like PageLens or other scanners?+

Because scanners and LaunchLook are not the same product.

PageLens and similar tools ($1 to $29) run automated checks in minutes: SEO scores, headers, accessibility, screenshots, Markdown you can paste into an agent. Software writes the report. Good when you want speed on the public surface of a site.

LaunchLook is slower because a person submits your forms, checks whether confirmation emails actually arrive, tests mobile width, and I edit every finding before you see it. You get a short list with paste-into-builder fix text, not 200 warnings.

Fair comparison: our free tier is 2 findings by email. That’s the right comp to a $1 scanner hook, not Starter at $19. Starter ($19) is when you want up to 10 findings plus PDFs and checklists.

Quick take: PageLens for a fast site scorecard. LaunchLook when you want to know if a confused first-timer can sign up, get email, and trust your app. Lots of founders use both.

Table: LaunchLook vs PageLens.

How does LaunchLook compare to VibeDoctor?+

VibeDoctor checks the repo. LaunchLook checks the live app. No GitHub required.

VibeDoctor is a fast automated scanner: connect a GitHub repo for 129+ checks (secrets, CVEs, code quality, AI-code patterns) plus optional live URL checks. You get a Vitals score, file paths, line numbers, and copy prompts for Cursor or Claude Code. Paid plans are subscription-based.

LaunchLook only needs your live URL. A person walks through signup and forms, checks whether confirmation emails arrive, tests mobile width, and the founder edits the list before you get a PDF with paste-into-builder text for Lovable, Bolt, or Cursor. No repo required.

Quick take: VibeDoctor if you have a repo and want code-level security fast. LaunchLook if you don’t have GitHub, or you want to know whether real users will bounce before you ship. Use both if you have both.

Full comparison: LaunchLook vs VibeDoctor.

How does LaunchLook compare to PageLens AI?+

Both start with your live URL. They are not the same job.

PageLens AI scores your public site fast: SEO, accessibility, trust signals, screenshots, Markdown exports. Scans run about $1 to $29. Good for “is my site technically clean?” Not built to prove your signup email actually arrived.

LaunchLook is for founders on Lovable, Cursor, Bolt, v0, and similar who want a one-off check before real users show up. I submit your forms, check inbox delivery, test mobile width, and edit the list before you get a PDF with paste-into-builder fix text. Free: 2 findings by email. Paid: $19 / $49 / $99. No account to create.

Quick take: PageLens for indexable and technically clean. LaunchLook for “will a first-timer actually finish signup?” Use both if you can.

Full comparison: LaunchLook vs PageLens.

How does LaunchLook compare to a Fiverr UX audit?+

Fiverr sells you a freelancer. LaunchLook sells you a fixed checkup: same scope and founder review every time.

Fiverr is a marketplace: UX and website-review gigs run from about $5 to $200+, each with different deliverables. Cheap gigs often mean generic bullet lists; credible human reviews usually cost more and still vary. Expect messaging, days of turnaround, and revision rounds. Some sellers click through signup; many stop at screenshots.

LaunchLook is built for vibe-coded apps: one person walks your live URL, submits forms, checks whether confirmation emails arrive, tests mobile width, and edits the list before you get a PDF with paste-into-builder fix text. Free tier: 2 findings. Paid: $19 / $49 / $99. Usually within 48 hours.

Quick take: Fiverr when you want design work or a freelancer you’ll vet yourself. LaunchLook when you want the same deliverable every time before beta users or Product Hunt, with fix text you can paste into your builder.
