These guidelines are intended to keep APKDOVA listings useful to people rather than filled with copied, misleading or search-engine-only content.
Last updated: August 27, 2026Useful, app-specific descriptions
Describe what the specific app does, who publishes it, what version is being discussed and any important requirement or limitation that is known. Avoid generic filler that could be pasted onto unrelated apps.
No copied directory content
Do not copy descriptions, reviews or editorial text from another software directory. Source facts can be checked, but the wording published on APKDOVA should be original unless a quotation is clearly necessary and legally permitted.
No keyword stuffing or misleading SEO text
Do not repeat app names, “APK download” phrases, locations, versions or unrelated keywords solely to manipulate search visibility. Titles and descriptions should accurately describe the page a visitor will see.
Images and screenshots
Use clear media that represents the listed app. Do not upload unrelated, manipulated or falsely branded screenshots. Only use media you have the right to submit or that can lawfully be displayed for the listing.
Versions, files and compatibility
Do not present a guessed version, package name, file size, Android requirement, architecture or hash as verified. When data is unavailable, leave it unavailable rather than inventing a value.
Safety and trust claims
Do not claim an app is “100% safe”, “virus free”, officially verified or store-approved unless the exact claim is supported by the information actually shown. A scan or status should identify what was checked and should not be reused as proof for a different file/version.
Ratings, downloads and popularity
Do not fabricate ratings, reviews, download counts, trending status or user activity. Site counters and rankings should come from actual APKDOVA data or be clearly described as another source’s metric when applicable.
Community standards
Reviews and messages must not contain harassment, threats, spam, impersonation, unlawful material or private information posted without permission. Keep feedback relevant to the app or listing being discussed.
Corrections
If a published page contains a material error, use the Contact or Report Software page and include the affected URL plus enough evidence for the issue to be reviewed.
