## Quick verdict

Android tech media — DR 82, free to submit. Worth pursuing for Android apps with review angles; skip if you expect a self-serve directory listing form.

**Best for:** Android apps and mobile accessories with newsworthy features or review-worthy quality · Developers pitching AC editors with exclusive demos, benchmarks, or ecosystem hooks

## Approval & timeline

- **Time-to-live:** Editorial cycle — pitch to Android Central editors, wait days to weeks. App reviews require device testing and editorial scheduling.
- **Review:** Android Central journalists evaluate reader interest, product quality, and Android ecosystem fit. Editorial selection only.
- **Common rejections:** Low-quality apps, bare press releases, or products without Android-specific news angle.
- **Reputation:** Android Central and Android Authority are sibling mobile media brands — pitch each separately with tailored angles.

- Review articles can drive Play Store discovery and brand search lift

## Cons

- Not open to typical startup directory submission workflows
