Why us

Battery and size

How much space it takes and how quickly it drains a phone — both are in the review.

Ads and purchases, measured

We count how often ads interrupt play and what the paid version actually removes.

We finish what we start

A review only goes up after at least a week with the game, not after ten minutes of the tutorial.

Offline first

Every review says plainly whether the game works on a plane or a train without signal.

Questions & answers

Why are there no scores out of ten?

A number without an explanation tells you nothing. We give a short verdict instead, and say who the game is for.

Do you accept payment for reviews?

No. We buy every game and every in-app purchase we write about, and we do not run sponsored posts.

Can I republish your reviews?

A short quote with a link is fine. For anything longer, write to us first.

How do you choose what to review?

Readers suggest most of them by email. The rest come from what we see people playing around us.
