Nothing tricks people into purchases, unnecessary data sharing or undelivered features

The question From the listing and the app's strings: is anything designed to trick a purchase, force data the feature does not need, hide a price change, or charge for something not delivered? Is the developer identity in the listing truthful and current?

A person or a model answers it from the app's texts and screens; the answer is kept only while the facts it saw are unchanged.

Applies to every app

Checked from submitted and in review, published

The rule, in our words

• App Review Guidelines: Treat everyone with respect in reviews, support and dealings with Apple; apps should never trick users into purchases, force unnecessary data sharing, raise prices deceptively or charge for what is not delivered; use Apple's review-prompt API, not a custom prompt; keep developer identity truthful and current; never manipulate charts, search, reviews or referrals; sustained poor quality may be a factor in judging whether the developer follows the Code of Conduct.

Okkok never stores the stores' text. Each item above is our paraphrase, and the link is the page it rests on, verified unchanged by fingerprint on every run.
