Editorial Policy
The rules we follow before anything gets published: no invented facts, no download or registration steps, and a dated, correctable record of what we found.
This page sets out the rules our reviews follow. It's here so a reader can check our process against any specific page on the site, not just take our word for it.
We don't invent facts
Every figure in a review, a domain age, a bonus amount, a registration field, comes from something we directly observed on our check date: an RDAP lookup, a Google Play search, or a homepage visit. If we didn't see it, we don't state it, and where a claim comes only from the app's own marketing, we attribute it as such rather than presenting it as confirmed.
We don't perform operator functions
We do not host download links, walk through registration or deposit steps, or publish invitation or referral codes anywhere on this site. Our reviews describe what an app's site shows a visitor; they don't help anyone complete a sign-up.
Every review is dated, and stays dated
Domain ages, Play Store status, and homepage content all change over time. Each review carries the date of the check it's based on. If we revisit an app later, updated figures get a new date rather than silently overwriting the old page.
Corrections
If something on this site is factually wrong, tell us at [email protected] and we'll check it against our original notes and correct it. We don't remove a review because an operator asks us to; we correct it if it's actually inaccurate.
Advertising
This site currently carries no advertising. If that changes, any ad or sponsored placement will be clearly labelled as such, separate from our editorial content, and covered in our privacy policy once it's in place.
Common questions
Does ApkTie accept payment to review an app favourably?
No. We don't accept payment from any app or operator in exchange for a review or a rating.
How do I request a correction?
Email [email protected] with the specific page and the fact you believe is wrong; see our contact page for our reply time.
