How Best Mobile App Awards judging works
Eligible entries are evaluated after a contest closes. Best Mobile App Awards considers the app in the context of its contest category and the published information available for the entry. The process is intended to assess the app itself, not the size of an entry payment or the timing of an entry.
Factors considered during review
User votes are considered as one input, not as the sole deciding factor. Review may also consider public marketplace metrics, functionality and reliability, creativity, productivity, innovation, design and usability, and factors that are relevant to the specific contest category.
When results are decided
Review occurs after a contest closes and results are released after that review is complete. Entering earlier in an open contest does not create a ranking or judging advantage. Published outcomes can be explored through Award Winners and Nominees.
Independence and conflicts of interest
Anyone participating in an evaluation must disclose a direct financial, professional, or personal interest in an entry and step away from evaluating that entry. Questions about the published process or a contest result can be directed to Best Mobile App Awards.
Judging is separate from paid services
Entry payment confirms that an eligible app is submitted for review and award consideration. It does not determine a judging outcome. Optional physical awards, promotion services, and other paid offerings are separate from editorial review and winner selection.
Judging process FAQs
Does paying an entry fee guarantee an award?
No. The fee confirms entry for review and consideration; it does not purchase a winner outcome, ranking advantage, or favorable result.
Are user votes the only factor?
No. User votes are one input among the review factors described above.
Where can I see open contests before entering?
Visit Open Contests, check Award Deadlines, and read the Entry Process before submitting an app.
