Frequently asked questions

TG.app is a public catalog of Telegram Mini Apps, bots, channels, and groups. You can search listings, browse categories and Collections, upvote ranked boards, and open anything directly in Telegram. Creators submit listings for review, publish Collections, and promote visibility from Creator Studio. Advertisers run self-serve campaigns on /advertise.

Use the homepage search bar or open /apps for Mini Apps and bots and /communities for public channels and groups. Filter by category, sort by popular, newest, rating, or most upvoted, and check Editor's Choice for hand-picked listings. For guided boards, open /collections: editorial and creator lists ranked by period upvotes with shareable links.

Collections are ranked lists of catalog listings, such as best wallets or top games. Membership can be manual or tag-driven. Community upvotes decide the order for a period (day, week, month, or all time). Open /collections to browse Featured and all lists, or /create-collection to publish your own board with share and embed options.

Editor's Choice highlights standout apps and communities the TG.app team curates for quality. Spotlights of the Day are rotating featured listings with editorial context, screenshots, and a direct Open in Telegram link. Both surfaces refresh so returning visitors see new picks without scanning the full catalog.

Apps covers interactive Mini Apps and bots you launch inside Telegram. Communities covers public channels and groups you join. Each catalog has its own filters, cards, and listing pages. One project can have both an app listing and a community listing when it runs a bot and a public channel.

Signed-in users get a daily upvote budget to rank Mini Apps, bots, channels, and groups. Votes power the Most Upvoted sort on /apps, Collection boards on /collections, and the global Upvote Leaderboard on /leaderboard. Period filters (day, week, month, all time) let you share a snapshot of rankings for that window.

The Upvote Leaderboard at /leaderboard shows the top catalog listings by community upvotes for a chosen period and type filter (Mini Apps, bots, channels, groups, or all). Switch periods, share the URL, and jump into Collections when you want themed boards instead of a single global list. Docs at /docs/upvotes-and-leaderboard/ explain the vote budget.

Yes. Every Collection page supports period query links so a shared URL keeps the same ranking window. Creators can also embed top rows on a site or docs page. Start from /create-collection or manage drafts in Creator Studio under Collections, then publish when the board is ready.

Open any listing and click Open in Telegram. You land in Telegram (web or native) where you can launch the Mini App or start the bot. For communities, click Join in Telegram to open the public channel or group. Listing pages also expose share links and promote options when available.

Yes. Signed-in users can leave star ratings and written reviews on app and community pages. Aggregate scores and review counts appear on catalog cards. Reviews help other users judge quality and give creators feedback inside Creator Studio.

Sign in to save listings to Favorites from listing cards and detail pages, then reopen them from /favorites. Every public listing also has a stable URL (for example /apps/your-app/) you can paste into a channel post, bot welcome message, or social bio. Indexed listing pages help discovery outside Telegram too.

Use /contact and include the listing URL plus what is wrong (dead bot link, outdated description, wrong category). We review reports and update or unpublish listings that no longer work. Creators who own the listing can edit copy and screenshots in Creator Studio after approval.

Sign in with Telegram, then open /become-creator or Creator Studio. Submit your Mini App, bot, channel, or group with a public Telegram link, description, and screenshots. After moderation, approved listings appear in search, categories, Collections membership, and optional paid placements.

Public Telegram channels and groups with a @username link (not a private t.me/+ invite). You must confirm that you administer the community when submitting. Private chats cannot be listed because other users need a joinable public entry point on Telegram.

Open /create-collection for the product overview, then create a list in Creator Studio under Collections. Choose manual membership or a tag-driven list, draft first, then publish. Period upvote ranks update automatically so shared and embedded boards stay current.

Some catalog entries were imported from public Telegram data before a creator signed up. If your app or community is already listed, use Claim listing to prove ownership. After approval you manage the page in Creator Studio: edit copy, upload screenshots, run Growth products, and view analytics.

Most submissions are reviewed within a few business days. We check that the Telegram link works, the description is accurate, and the listing fits our guidelines. Status updates appear in Creator Studio; rejected submissions include a reason so you can fix and resubmit.

Yes. Apps Father is TG.app's AI no-code builder: open /build or the Apps Father bot, describe your idea, and iterate in chat. When the Mini App is live on Telegram, submit it from Creator Studio so users can discover it in the TG.app catalog and Collections.

Browsing the catalog and submitting a standard listing are free. Optional paid products add visibility (featured placement, Top by Category, priority surfaces), verification badges, customer support widgets, and advertising credit. See /pricing for Growth packages (Basic, Moat, Ultra) or buy à la carte in Creator Studio.

Growth packages bundle listing visibility, trust signals, support tools, and monthly advertiser wallet credit into one subscription. Basic suits new launches; Moat adds pro support and channel reach; Ultra is the full stack for teams that want maximum surface area. Every line item is also available separately if you prefer one purchase at a time.

Creators earn credits when invited builders join and grow on TG.app. Open /referral-program for rules, rewards, and how invite links work, then manage invites from Creator Studio after you sign in. Credits apply toward eligible Growth and visibility products on the platform.

Verification is a paid trust badge on your listing that signals TG.app has confirmed your project identity. It appears alongside ratings and helps users distinguish established projects from new or unclaimed entries. Verification is included in Growth packages or available as a standalone purchase.

Creators can embed a support widget on their Mini App or site so users open tickets without leaving the product. TG.app hosts the inbox in Creator Studio, with optional AI-assisted replies trained on your knowledge base. See /support for plans, or open Support in Creator Studio after you sign in.

Visit /advertise for formats, targeting, and pricing. Sign in and apply for an advertiser account; once approved, create campaigns in the advertiser dashboard. Formats include post-style ads, rewarded video, task campaigns, channel posts, and bot placements across Mini Apps and Telegram clients.

Mini App developers acquiring users, bot operators growing installs, brands promoting channels, and agencies managing multiple clients. Self-serve CPM and tCPC billing, country and platform targeting, and attribution partners (AppMetrica, Adjust, AppsFlyer, and others) suit performance-focused campaigns.

Yes. The Community ad marketplace at /advertise/communities lets advertisers buy placements in listed Telegram channels and groups, and lets community owners monetize inventory. Terms and inventory are separate from the main TG.app ad network.

No. Anyone can search, read listings, open Collections, and launch apps in Telegram without signing in. A Telegram login is required to upvote, leave reviews, save Favorites, submit listings, manage Creator Studio, or run advertiser campaigns.

TG.app uses Telegram Login: you authorize with your Telegram account and we receive your public profile (name, username, photo). We do not access your chats or contacts. Your session powers creator, advertiser, upvote, review, and Favorites features tied to your Telegram identity.

Documentation at /docs covers product behavior, Collections, upvotes, and submission rules. Developer Guidelines describe technical expectations for Mini Apps. Changelog posts announce new features. Legal terms and privacy links are in the site footer.

Use /contact for general inquiries, broken listings, or partnership questions. Creators with an active support plan use the Support workspace in Creator Studio. Advertisers can reach us through the advertiser dashboard help flow.
