FAQ

1. How does Shopping-Apps.com pick which shopping apps appear on the site?
We start with a broad scan of the App Store and Google Play to spot apps that meet basic security, update-frequency, and user-rating thresholds . Short-listed apps then go through a scorecard that weighs usability tests, performance benchmarks, and privacy safeguards . Finally, editors apply a mobile-app quality rubric (inspired by the MARS and similar peer-reviewed rating scales) to assign the star score you see on each review page .

2. Are your reviews sponsored or influenced by app makers?
No. We follow FTC Endorsement Guides, which say reviewers must disclose any material connection that could sway their opinion . If a link on our site earns an affiliate commission, that relationship is flagged next to the link, in line with the 2023 updates to the Guides . Our broader review-disclaimer policy reflects industry templates for independent sites .

3. How often do you refresh your rankings and information?
Editorial scores are revisited whenever an app ships a major version or posts a significant policy update—typically every 4-6 weeks. Frequent updates matter because both users and ranking algorithms equate “fresh” with “reliable” . In between, we monitor App Store review summaries, which Apple now regenerates at least weekly using large-language-model analysis, to catch rapid sentiment shifts .

4. I’m an app developer—how can I get my app reviewed?
Send a short pitch (name, store links, launch country, unique features) to support@shopping-apps.com. Our team will confirm eligibility and slot the app into our testing queue, similar to the “submit for review” step you see in App Store Connect . Indie devs have found success by pairing a clear value proposition with a concise submission form—exactly the approach recommended by veteran indie-app promoters .

5. Is the information on Shopping-Apps.com guaranteed to be accurate?
We strive for accuracy, but the mobile marketplace changes quickly; feature sets, prices, and regional availability can shift overnight. Like other review sites, we provide content “as-is,” with no express or implied warranties, and we encourage readers to verify critical details directly in the relevant app store before making a purchase .
