Reviews on MobileAppDaily are submitted by logged-in users, not anonymous profiles. Every reviewer has to verify their email address before a review is published.

This keeps the platform free from automated or bulk submissions and helps maintain a basic level of accountability. We don’t allow reviews to go live without this step.

We suggest using reviews as one of the parameters (and not the only one) to evaluate the companies listed in a directory. Alongside portfolio, service type, industry expertise, and budget, make sure you consider customer reviews as well to finalize a service partner. 

We suggest using reviews as one input, not the only one. They tend to work best when read alongside a company’s portfolio, service focus, and past work.

Each directory includes a Get Matched form for buyers who want a more focused starting point. Instead of browsing endlessly, you can share a few details about your project and what you’re looking for.

Based on the information shared, a shortlist is prepared that aligns more closely with your requirements, rather than sending you back to a long list of options.

Most buyers use this as a way to save time early in the process and avoid comparing companies that clearly aren’t a fit.

Reviews can be added directly from a company’s profile page on MobileAppDaily. This option is meant for users who have actually worked with the company and want to share that experience.

We don’t publish promotional or generic feedback. Reviews are expected to reflect real engagement and focus on what the experience was like, rather than selling or praising by default.

Once submitted, the review goes through the usual checks before it appears on the profile.

Companies aren’t added to our directories by default. Each one is reviewed against a defined set of criteria before being featured.

What we look at depends on the category, but it usually includes the company’s service focus, past work, industry exposure, and the information they make publicly available. The idea is to understand what the company actually does, not just how it presents itself.

Details about how this evaluation works are explained in our methodology.

There isn’t a single signal that makes a company 'reliable'.

Before a company appears in our directories, we look at how it operates in practice. We analyze what it offers and the kind of work it highlights and accordingly position it in the relevant list. Consistency matters to us—what the company claims, what it shows, and how clearly that information is presented.

Profiles are structured in a way that you don't have to dig through marketing-heavy language. The idea is to make it easier for you to form an early judgment and not to take anything at face value.

At the same time, directories are only the starting point. For better clarity, you must speak with the shortlisted companies, ask questions, and review proposals before moving ahead. That step matters, and we don’t try to replace it.

The Top Rated tag is based on customer feedback collected directly on MobileAppDaily.

It’s only shown on profiles where clients have left multiple reviews and every one of those reviews carries a five-star rating. At the moment, that means a minimum of five verified reviews with an overall average of 5.0.

That said, the tag isn’t meant to settle the decision for you. It works best as an early signal, especially when you’re scanning long lists, and is most useful when considered alongside parameters like past work, service focus, and project fitment.

In some directories, certain positions may be commercially sponsored. These listings are clearly marked so you can distinguish them from the rest of the list.

Sponsorship does not replace evaluation. A company is only featured if it meets MobileAppDaily’s listing requirements for that category. Sponsored visibility affects placement, not eligibility.

The goal is to keep commercial relationships visible without altering how companies are assessed or compared.

‘Expert’s Choice’ is an editorial label based on internal analysis by MobileAppDaily’s research team.

It is used for companies that demonstrate strong delivery capability or domain expertise, even if they do not meet every quantitative benchmark outlined in the methodology. This can include newer firms or niche specialists with limited public reviews or case studies but clear technical depth.

Expert’s Choice adds context and does not override evaluation criteria or function as a ranking signal.

The ‘Verified’ tag indicates that a company has met at least two out of four defined credibility signals on MobileAppDaily.

These signals include:

• A minimum of three verified customer reviews on the platform

• At least two published portfolios or case studies

• Recognized industry awards

• Relevant compliance or certification credentials

Verification will help you quickly identify companies that have demonstrated a baseline level of activity and credibility across multiple areas.
