Verified
A premium launch. The blue badge means the app's makers paid for it.
What it is
Verified is our paid plan. Makers pay Was $199now $49 once to give their launch or listing a spotlight: the top of their launch week's board, priority in search, their own dotstore address, a blog post about the app and a mention in our newsletter.
Votes still decide the rank. Paying never buys a higher place.
What it isn't
An editor gives every app a light check before it goes live: that it opens, works and is what it says. That's all. It isn't a full review, and Verified isn't an endorsement of the app or the people behind it. We don't vouch for an app's safety, security, privacy or claims.
It isn't the ownership check either. That one, by DNS record or by an editor, only shows that the people managing a listing run the app's site.
Third-party apps
Every app on dotstore, Verified ones included, is made and run by a third party. We don't control them and aren't responsible or liable for them, for what they do with your data, or for anything that comes from using them. Their own terms apply. Look into an app yourself before you sign up, pay or share anything with it.
The full wording is in our Terms.
