Content Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This policy defines what is acceptable on AppsDone. It applies to listings, scan reports, reviews, and anything published through the upload flow. Content that violates it is removed, and repeat violations result in submission bans.

Prohibited app categories

  • Malware, spyware, ransomware, or any app designed to harm users.
  • Apps that facilitate piracy or theft of paid content or services.
  • Sexual content involving minors, or any illegal sexual content.
  • Apps primarily built for harassment, doxxing, or targeted abuse.
  • Content promoting violence, terrorism, or hate against protected groups.
  • Illegal gambling, drug sales, or other unlawful marketplaces.
  • Deceptive apps: fake system updates, fake cleaners, credential phishing, or apps that misrepresent what they do.

How the policy is enforced

Every upload passes through the automated security scanner first: permission risk analysis, signature checks, packer/obfuscation detection, and behavior analysis. Uploads flagged as dangerous are rejected automatically. Human review supplements automation for policy questions the tools cannot decide.

Listing standards

Descriptions must accurately describe what the app does. Screenshots must show the actual app. Version information and changelogs must match the uploaded package. Listings that fail these standards are corrected or removed.

Reviews

Reviews must be about the app, not attacks on people. Spam, astroturfing, and reviews posted in exchange for payment are removed, and associated listings may be flagged for re-review.

Reporting a violation

Report policy violations or a suspicious listing to realcstarsyt@gmail.com with the listing URL and a short explanation. Reports can be anonymous, though a contact address helps us follow up.
