# Review apps
We currently have review apps available as a manual job in EE pipelines. Here is
[the first implementation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/6259).
That said, [the Quality team is working](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/6665)
on making Review Apps automatically deployed by each pipeline, both in CE and EE.
Review Apps are automatically deployed by each pipeline, both in
[CE](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/22010) and
[EE](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/6665).
## How does it work?

start the [`review` job][review-job]
1. On every [pipeline][gitlab-pipeline] during the `test` stage, the
[`review` job][review-job] is automatically started.

- If you're unable to log in using the `root` username and password the
deployment may have failed. Stop the review app via the `stop_review`
manual job and then retry the `review` job to redeploy the review app.

not overloaded with a lot of transient Docker images.
