Guides
Every one of these is a check the scanner actually runs, and each cites the policy clause behind it. They are free to read and they stay free.
Google Play
- Google Play listing character limitsThe exact limits Play enforces on the app title, short description and full description, what happens when you exceed them, and why the count may not match the one in your editor.
- Promotional and price claims in a Play listingPlay's metadata policy restricts promotional and price claims in the title and short description. Which kinds of claim it covers, why it often costs featuring rather than approval, and how to rewrite one.
- Formatting in a Play full descriptionPlay renders a small, documented set of HTML tags in the full description and silently strips the rest. What is supported, what happens to everything else, and why formatting often looks wrong.
- The Play Data safety declarationPlay compares your Data safety declaration against what the app actually does. A mismatch is a rejection, and an SDK you did not write is the usual cause.
Both stores
- The account deletion requirementBoth stores require an app that creates accounts to offer account deletion, including a way to request it from outside the app. What each store asks for, and the part that is easy to miss.
- Demo accounts for an app behind a loginAn app that opens on a login screen needs working credentials in the review notes, or the reviewer sees nothing and rejects it as incomplete. What to provide, and the ways it commonly fails.
- The privacy policy URL requirementBoth stores require a reachable privacy policy URL. Most rejections here are not about the policy's contents — the link simply does not load for the reviewer.
