What is checked This rule is decided by code from the built app and the listing: listing.text.
Applies to every app

The rule, in our words
- App Review Guidelines: All metadata, including privacy information, description, screenshots and previews, must accurately reflect the app's core experience and be kept current with each version. No hidden, dormant or undocumented features; every new feature and product change must be described specifically in Notes for Review (generic notes are rejected) and be reachable by reviewers. Misleading marketing, inside or outside the App Store, is grounds for removal and account termination. If there are in-app purchases, the description, screenshots and previews must say which items need extra payment. Screenshots should show the app in use, not just title art, login or splash; previews may only be video captures of the app itself. Pick the right category and answer age-rating questions honestly. App names are limited to 30 characters; do not stuff metadata with trademarks, other app names, prices or irrelevant terms. Icons, screenshots and previews must be suitable for a 4+ rating even if the app is rated higher; "For Kids" and "For Children" are reserved for the Kids Category. Secure rights to all assets and show fictional rather than real-person data. Do not show other mobile platforms' names, icons or imagery unless there is specific, approved interactive functionality. "What's New" must clearly describe significant changes; only simple fixes may use a generic note.
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.
The other store
- Apple reserves two exact phrases; Google judges imagery and wording generally. partial
- Title length is identical (30 characters). Google additionally bans emoji and repeated special characters in title/icon/developer name, all-caps outside a brand name, unattributed testimonials, misleading icon symbols and claims of ranking, price or a Play programme; Apple additionally requires screenshots that show real use (not splash or login), previews that are app captures only, fictional rather than real-person data, no other platforms' imagery, and a specific "What's New". partial
- none on principle. Apple additionally requires specific Notes for Review for every new feature; Google additionally bans review-evasion techniques and requires geographic or device-dependent core behaviour to be prominently advertised. same
- Google requires an IARC questionnaire resubmitted whenever content changes, removes apps with no rating, and bars ads much more mature than the app; Apple only requires honest answers. google-stricter
