About Pre-Release Apps

We accept articles and prior reviews on pre-release apps as well.

1. We write articles on AppBank that give a small glimpse of apps that really grab us. We then publish the app review article after the app has been released.

2. We will write an article for publication immediately after the app release if we decide we would like to feature the app.

To avoid complications when receiving the app files, it would help us to receive the promotional code, instead of receiving the files via ad hoc installation.

Please set the date of release for some time in the future, rather than immediately following the assessment, and inform us of the date and the promotional code via appbankmail at gmail.com or by using the form below, with the completed abovementioned review request.
