How we keep a mobile games shortlist honest

1. Open the live Google Play listing and copy rating, review count, downloads, content rating, and price model exactly as printed.
2. Refuse invented fields — if size or binary version is missing from the card, it stays off our pages.
3. Mark ads and in-app purchases the way the store states them; never soften commerce language.
4. Prefer titles with a visible recent “Updated on” date so the mobile games shelf does not freeze on stale cards.
5. Keep the gantry at three apps so every fact can be re-checked on one desk pass.
6. Publish the check date, disclaim affiliation, and send installs to the store with noopener nofollow links.

That is the whole method. We are a small editorial desk, not a storefront and not a mirror for binaries.
