How to submit your app to Tapscape for review
TL;DR
Tapscape is a tech blog that reviews iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android apps, and it still publishes daily in October 2026. The clear offer is a paid expedited written review for $99, with a guaranteed 7-day turnaround and a homepage feature. It suits app founders who want a quick review page and a backlink, as long as they accept that the site now carries a lot of commercial content.
What is Tapscape?
Tapscape covers apps, games, gadgets and general tech for iOS and Android users. Its submission page claims more than 1,000 app reviews to date and an audience of 25,000 followers on the @tapscape account on X. The same page still cites a "Technorati Top 100" badge and an "Alexa Top 50k" rank: both services shut down years ago, so read those badges as history. App reviews still appear in 2026: the iPhone apps section shows reviews from February, March, August and October 2026. The homepage also carries many commercial articles on loans, software vendors and online services.
Who should submit to Tapscape?
- Indie app developers and startups with a new iOS or Android app who want a review page fast.
- Founders who need a written review with links to the App Store, Google Play and their website.
- Skip it if you want editorial credibility with Apple or Android enthusiasts: the mix of commercial posts weakens that signal.
- Founders with no budget will find no clear free option on the page.
How much does Tapscape cost?
- Expedited written review: $99, paid via PayPal. It includes a guaranteed 7-day turnaround, a homepage-featured review, links to your app store page and company website, a YouTube video and a post to the @tapscape account on X.
- Video review: offered, with no published price.
- Unpaid submissions: the page invites you to email app details to support@tapscape.com, but it does not say whether unpaid apps get reviewed or how long that takes.
- Advertising: banners (300 x 250 and 728 x 90), sponsored posts on X and site skins, with no published prices.
- Tapscape states that apps are rated on merit, that payment does not buy a positive review, and that expedited reviews carry full disclosure.

Tips to get more out of Tapscape
- Watch for scams. Tapscape warns that emails from jannetwilson2021@gmail.com claiming to be Tapscape are fake. Only deal with support@tapscape.com.
- Send a promo code that unlocks every paid feature, so the reviewer can score the full app.
- Share the review link from your own accounts on launch day, so the review reaches your own audience too.
Our verdict
Tapscape is a paid shortcut: $99 buys a fast, disclosed review with links and a homepage slot. The site still publishes app reviews in 2026, but its heavy mix of commercial content makes it a backlink and visibility play more than a trusted endorsement. Pay for it only if a quick review page fits your launch plan.
