How to submit to Pocket Gamer

  1. Open the Pocket Gamer submission page

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. Have your assets ready

    Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.

  3. Fill in the form carefully

    Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse Pocket Gamer (Mobile gamers on iPhone, iPad and Android who read reviews and news before they download), not for search engines.

  4. Wait for review

    A person reviews submissions, so it can take a while. Once it’s live, check the link on your listing points to the right page.

Tips for Pocket Gamer

  • Email reviews@pocketgamer.co.uk with a promo code, trailer, screenshots and key facts; the page says they consider everything sent but cannot review every game.
  • Send the promo code before the game is live on the App Store. The page says reviews are held until the game is live in the UK, and not to ask first but just send it.
  • If the game is not ready for review, the news address (news@pocketgamer.co.uk) takes stories and previews; if another site has already covered it, link to that coverage.
  • It is a videogame site, so utilities and other non-game apps are unlikely to fit.

From Pocket Gamer’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.

What to prepare

The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for mobile app directories.

  • Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
  • A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
  • Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
  • 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
  • The exact page you want the link to point to
  • Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
  • App Store and Google Play links (the public listing, not a TestFlight link)
  • Phone-sized screenshots in the store’s aspect ratio, plus an app icon at 1024×1024 px
  • Price, in-app purchases and subscription terms, stated plainly
  • Promo codes for reviewers, if it’s a paid app

Is Pocket Gamer worth it?

Good for discovery, not link equity

Links from Pocket Gamer listings carry rel="sponsored", so they pass little or no ranking value. Submit if its audience matches yours: the value is visitors and being findable where people browse.

  • Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 75 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
  • No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
  • A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
  • Free to list, so the only cost is your time.

This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
