FAQ

Do you test the apps yourselves?

Not yet. Our reviews are research-based: they use official, public sources and never claim first-hand use. Pages will show "Tested by AI Partner Check" only after a standardized test, with its date and method.

Do commissions affect what you recommend?

No. Guides group apps by need without a ranking, and commission terms are stored separately from editorial data. Sponsored placements, if any, are labelled Sponsored and kept apart from our research.

Is this site for adults?

Yes. Some services we cover offer adult content and are for adults only. We describe those features in words and never show explicit material.
