Meet the Aktier Editorial Team
We're a small group of long-time mobile gamers and editors based in India. We test every game on real devices, write every word in-house, and never accept payment for reviews.
Our Editorial Mission
Aktier exists because India needed an independent mobile-games review site that doesn't blur the line between casual games and predatory real-money apps. Our entire coverage is free-to-play casual games — Candy Crush, Subway Surfers, Ludo King, Carrom Pool, Among Us, and similar titles. We never review or recommend any app that involves real-money wagering, fantasy-money games, casino mechanics, or colour-prediction.
Every game we cover is downloaded from the official Google Play Store or Apple App Store, installed on a real Android or iOS device, and tested for at least 5 hours by a member of our editorial team before we publish a review.

Editorial Standards
- No paid reviews. We do not accept money, free hardware, or services from game studios in exchange for coverage.
- Real devices, real testing. Every game is tested for at least 5 hours on at least two different real phones (one entry-level Android, one mid-range or iOS).
- No real-money apps. We will not review, link to, or recommend any app that involves real-money wagering, gambling, or colour-prediction mechanics.
- Transparent scoring. Aktier Tier scores are calculated using a fixed weighted rubric: Gameplay (40%), Content Depth (25%), Fairness/No Pay-to-Win (20%), India-Specific Factors (15%).
- Corrections. Factual errors are corrected promptly. Substantive corrections include a dated note at the bottom of the article.
- Updates. Reviews are revisited at least once per year and updated when major game versions release.
