Paid only review
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- App must be iOS, iPad, Mac, or Android — this is an app review blog, not a web SaaS directory
- Guaranteed review costs $99 (expedited, 7-day turnaround, home-page featured) via PayPal or invoice
- Free pitch path exists only as emailing details to [email protected] — no guarantee of coverage
- Paid fee does not guarantee a positive review; disclosure is added to expedited reviews
Prepare before opening the form
- iTunes/App Store link + valid promo code for paid apps (iOS/Mac), or Google Play link (Android)
- Company URL
- Optional: YouTube video — every review includes links to store, website, and video
- PayPal account or email address for invoicing
Workflow
- Option A (free, no guarantee): email [email protected] with app details and store link
- Option B ($99): click the 'Buy Now' PayPal button on /submit-app-review/ or email for a PayPal invoice with the required details
- Review is written by their staff with standardized scoring; includes social promotion to ~25K Twitter followers
- Expect ~7-day turnaround for the paid expedited review
Watch for
- Site banner warns of a scam email impersonating Tapscape ([email protected]) — only trust [email protected]
- Payment does not buy a positive review — paid expedited reviews carry disclosure
- Web/SaaS products without a mobile/desktop app are out of scope
- Recent posts skew to generic sponsored tech content — editorial quality may have slipped since its 'Top 100 Gadget blog' era
What counts as live
A review article for the app is published on tapscape.com (paid tier: home-page featured) with links to store listing and company site
Not verified
- Whether free email submissions ever result in a published review
- Whether links in reviews are dofollow
- Whether the site still actively reviews vs. mostly runs sponsored posts
