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

Questions & answers
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.
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.
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.
Can I republish your reviews?
A short quote with a link is fine. For anything longer, write to us first.
