? The 5 Apps in 5 Days Challenge
Think you’ve got what it takes to build five apps in five days? The 5 Apps in 5 Days Challenge is your opportunity to prove it—and get rewarded for your creativity, speed, and originality.
This challenge is proudly hosted by ComStar Productions in partnership with Embercom, and supported by the AppCreator24 Zone community.
? Rewards
- A featured article spotlighting you, your app store, and your work
- One year of free web server hosting through the ComStar App Store
? Rules & Instructions
- Contestants must be a registered CAS developer, a member of the AppCreator24 Zone group, or a user of the CAS Mobile App.
- Developers must create five apps within five consecutive days. Apps may be released daily or all at once by Day 5 so long as you make your start date and submit one app one day 1.
- Apps must be original in design. While similar concepts are acceptable, copying another developer’s style, code, or cosmetics is not. (Apps must not be published)
- Apps must be objectively different. For example, releasing “Ball Bouncer v1–v5” does not qualify.
- Apps must be submitted to either the CAS Store or the AppCreator24 Zone Facebook group.
- Apps must be functional. Final polish is not required, but the core experience must work.
- Apps may target any operating system—mobile, desktop, or otherwise.
- Developers may use any tools or methods they prefer.
? Why We Created This Challenge
1. To Promote the Store
We believe beginner developers deserve a place to publish their work without financial barriers or confusing submission processes. The ComStar App Store offers a launchpad for new creators to get established while they work toward larger platforms like Microsoft, Apple, or Google.
2. To Help Developers Build a Portfolio
Completing five apps in five days is a powerful achievement. It gives new developers a tangible portfolio they can be proud of. In fact, I personally completed the challenge last week—and now I have five working titles I can refine over time. That’s five apps in less than a week. Incredible!
3. To Grow Together
We want to help as many developers as possible. ComStar Productions and Embercom founded the CAS Store in July 2025. It’s now August, and we’re just getting started. The more developers we reach, the more apps and stores get shared, and the more traffic we all generate. Everyone wins.
At ComStar, we believe in everyone eating off the same plate so no one goes hungry. The 5 in 5 Challenge is our way of pulling out the best in each other—and celebrating every aspiring developer the way they deserve.
