About The App Audit

The App Audit is an independent publication that reviews apps the way real people use them. We test rigorously, rate transparently, and publish honest, in-depth guidance so you can find apps worth your time — across the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Our mission

There are millions of apps and almost no trustworthy way to tell the good from the forgettable. App-store rankings reward marketing budgets; sponsored “top 10” lists reward whoever paid the most. We started The App Audit to do the opposite: hands-on reviews and carefully curated best-of lists built on testing, not press releases.

Editorial independence

Our recommendations reflect our testing and our judgement — nothing else. Where a page carries advertising or a sponsorship, it is clearly labelled and it never influences a score, a ranking, or whether an app is covered. We keep pricing descriptions general and focus on whether an app earns its place. If we ever get something wrong, we correct it and note the change.
