Thanks for the welcome!

Let's take a look at your question:

If you're willing to provide screenshots that are completely different then what you'd supply other reviewers (if possible) or show off the best part(s) of your app, absolutely. Make sure to send at least two.

I like to see a description that explains your app in the least words. After that, list out the features you don't want us to miss.

This depends. Some developers talk about plans that involve things Apple won't let them do as of now. Keep your head out of the clouds on this one and provide it next to your tech specs in the case of upgrades and most times we'll mention it.

Two words: Hell Yes. What's cooler: Level 1-1 or fighting Bowser face to face? Sometimes we don't have a ton of time to sit with an app and that's unfortunate. If you tell us how to get to the best part of the game in the easiest fashion, we're all for it. With thousands of apps out, keep in mind that there's no reason to review sub par apps. That means WE want to review YOUR app as much as it's the other way around.


Some other things:
- Your business = apps, our business = reviews.
If we give you a good review, quote us in your iTunes description, link to us on your site, embed our video on your site!

- Stay in touch.
Chances are you'll come up with something cool again and we'll be open to covering it. Also, preview copies and pre-release copies give us that edge over competitors. Be picky with who you give what to. Seriously. If you don't think a reviewer handles things professionally, don't work with them.

That about sums it up on my end. Other reviewers, feel free to jump in.
