PromoArrow.com My review

I recently used the PromoArrow service in an attempt to market my new game unFed unDead! The service is simple. You pay $200 and fill out a form with basic app information. They submit your app to their large database of review sites. In addition to basic submission, they also use an email service that allows you to authorize them to send emails from your account so they can directly email sites.

The service started working quickly. I was receiving automated replied back within a day or so and within a week, I think the submissions were all complete. They did what the said they would, as far as I can tell. I received automated replies from a ton of websites… More than I can even list. Most of these replies were saying, “thanks for submitting your app. We will try to look at it soon.” In addition, many of these replies encouraged you to guarantee that your app would be reviewed by purchasing an ‘expedited review’ for about $50-100.

To prepare for the service, I put together a very nice press release and submitted a short description with basic info of my app and included a link to my press release.

For my press release, view here. This will probably provide you with a good example of what to put together…

Below is a list of paid review sites that I gathered from collecting all the automated replies to my review requests. I intend to use many of these sites in the coming weeks, so check back for a review of these review sites, as I post the results I see from them.

Overall the service was helpful. In general, these review sites are getting so many daily review requests that it will be difficult for your request to be read, much less granted. This is one way to help your chances with a minimal time investment.
