No paid ranking
Sponsorship and affiliate links do not determine order, conclusions, or inclusion.
Trust policy
Rankings cannot be bought. Relationships cannot be hidden.
Every conclusion must distinguish facts, source opinions, hands-on results, and editorial judgment.
Disclose developer relationships
Testing one’s own app, receiving a license, hardware, or payment must be disclosed on the page.
Hands-on means hands-on
Device, version, inputs, and results are required. Reading official pages only earns a research label.
AI assists; editors decide
AI may transcribe, organize, and draft summaries; it cannot invent experience or publish the final ranking alone.
Keep original sources visible
Facts and outside opinions link back to the creator, date, version, and evidence location.
Correct and date conclusions
Price, rating, and compatibility are snapshots. Meaningful updates trigger review without erasing historical context.
Research is a valid publishing path
Everyday app profiles and comparisons can be published from checked official facts and clearly attributed reviews, articles and videos. Our own device test is not a universal prerequisite. A source-based recommendation must still help a reader choose and cannot invent experience.
Test consequential disagreements
We first check whether conflicting accounts concern different platforms, versions, plans or tasks. If reliable sources still disagree on a fact that materially changes the recommendation, we may run a focused test. Subjective preferences alone do not require testing. Important original features can also justify a dedicated test and video.
Do not manufacture consensus
A few selected comments do not represent all users. We show the source, date, version context and sampling limits, distinguish sponsored material from editorial reviews, and keep historical complaints in context. Product images are attributed to their publisher; a citation is not a blanket copyright license.
