Questions developers ask.
When do exchanges open?
Soon. We’ll open exchanges for everyone at the same time, once enough verified apps are ready, so your first requests find a peer instead of an empty list.
You can sign in now, add and verify your apps, and ask for one email on the day exchanges open.
Who will review my app?
Another developer. Everyone you can exchange with has their own app in a store, verified on App Peers, and wants the same thing you do.
Before you agree, you see their app, how many exchanges they’ve completed, their likes and dislikes, and the reasons behind recent dislikes. App Peers is currently free, and nobody pays or is paid for feedback.
How do you know an app really belongs to my peer?
An app can’t take part until its developer proves control of it. We read the official store listing, take the developer website named there and ask for a one-time file to be published on that site. That file check is the only way to verify an app: a listing without a usable developer website can’t be verified yet.
You’ll verify your app the same way. We never ask for passwords, API keys or access to your store account.
Will the feedback be positive?
It will be honest. Peers try your app and leave their own opinion; nobody may demand a particular rating, and an honest low rating is not a reason to reject someone’s work.
Your peer is a developer waiting for careful feedback on their own app, so careless work costs them: a dislike comes with a reason that future peers can read.
What if my peer doesn’t do their part?
You each have 1 hour to leave feedback and upload a screenshot. You then have 7 days to check it against the store: confirm it, ask for one correction, or report a problem for an admin to review.
A peer who misses the hour gets no credit and all their apps are paused. Once you’ve done your part, you can leave them a dislike straight away.
Is exchanging feedback allowed by the stores?
App Peers is independent of Microsoft, Apple and Google and isn’t endorsed by them. Each store has its own rules on ratings and reviews, including feedback given in return for feedback, and stores can remove reviews or restrict apps.
Check the rules that apply to you before taking part; you’re responsible for following them. We never post anything in a store. Details are in the Terms of Use.
What will peers see about me?
The nickname and avatar you choose, your apps and your reputation. Never your sign-in email, real name, photo or account ID, and your exchange history stays private.
Which stores and what kind of feedback can I choose?
Microsoft Store, App Store and Google Play, and different stores can pair. Choose the stores you can review on, ask for a rating or a rating with a written review, and pick a store country or leave it as Any country.
Both of you see these preferences before agreeing.
Do I need to be online all the time?
No. Request emails are off by default; switch them on in Email notifications and new requests will reach you while you’re away. A request stays open for 10 minutes, and nothing starts until both of you confirm you’re ready.
Each app has its own setting, so set it to Paused whenever you don’t want requests.
