Phased Rollout (App Stores)
Also written as Phased Release, Staged Rollout, Staged Rollouts
Releasing a new app version to a small percentage of users first and increasing it over days, using the App Store's phased release or Google Play's staged rollouts. Important because, unlike a website, a broken mobile release can't simply be rolled back — users keep the bad version until a fix is approved and installed.
Think of it like
Opening a new restaurant to friends and family for a few nights before the public launch, because you can't un-serve a bad meal.

Shows mature release practice.

Ask them
“Have you ever paused an app rollout? What numbers told you to stop, and what happened next?”
