# Quality levels of YunoHost application packages
In order to facilitate the packaging of applications by providing successive steps to achieve, each package is assigned a quality level, from 0 to 10.
A package must meet a number of criteria to reach each level. In addition, to reach a level, the package must have previously reached the previous level.
This classification of applications by levels has 3 advantages:
- The application packaging is more fun, with clear objectives to achieve and successive steps.
- A properly packaged application is put forward more than an application that does not comply with packaging rules.
- Users can quickly see the level of an application and thus know if the package is of good quality.
## Level summary
**Level 0**
The application does not work.
**Level 1**
The application installs and uninstalls correctly in some cases.
**Level 2**
The application installs and uninstalls correctly in all common configurations.
**Level 3**
The application can be updated.
**Level 4**
The application uses YunoHost users directly and allows unique identification from the YunoHost portal.
**Level 5**
The application package code follows some syntax rules.
**Level 6**
The application can be saved and restored.
**Level 7**
The application package passes all integrity tests successfully.
**Level 8**
The application respects a set of advanced recommendations improving its general quality.
**Level 9**
The application complies with all recommendations. This is an excellent quality package.
**Level 10**
The application package is considered perfect!
## Quality levels in detail:
### Level 0
**The application does not install or run after installation.**
This is the lowest level, a level 0 application is considered non-functional.
YEP to be respected to reach level 0:

### Level 10
**The application is considered perfect.**
This ultimate level for an application can only be reached after an in-depth study of the package and by the validation of the Apps group.
## How to request the integration of an application in the official list?
Before requesting an application for inclusion in the official list, you must commit to maintaining the application over time, or find someone who will commit to doing so.
An official application must be regularly updated and follow packaging recommendations as closely as possible.
To be eligible to join the official list, the application must have reached at least level 6 and must be free software.
If all these requirements are met, you can create a pull request on the official list or make a request on the forum.
From then on, the package will be checked by Apps group members and the decision to include it in the list of official applications will be discussed by the group.
Hopefully the application will join the official YunoHost applications.
