Terms of use
Last updated: 4 August 2026 · In effect from: 4 August 2026
These terms apply to your use of tapprobe.com. By reading the site you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.
1. What this site is
TapProbe is an independent editorial publication about mobile games listed on Google Play. Every entry is a description of what the desk observed during two timed sittings on an ordinary Android handset, plus a bench score that expresses the desk's opinion.
Bench scores, test notes and genre labels are editorial opinion, not statements of fact, and not advice about what you should install. Software changes constantly: an update published after our last check can change loading times, advertising behaviour or the interface described in an entry.
2. Advertising disclosure
The site carries advertising placements. Some outbound links to Google Play listings are promotional, and those are labelled in the entry in which they appear.
Testing is completed and the bench score is set before any placement is arranged. No advertiser can influence a score, change a published note, or have an unfavourable observation removed. If we ever cannot keep that separation for a particular title, the title does not appear in the catalogue.
3. No affiliation
TapProbe is not affiliated with, endorsed by or otherwise connected to Google LLC, or to any of the studios and publishers named on the site. Google Play and the Google Play logo are trade marks of Google LLC. All other product names, studio names and logos belong to their respective owners and are used here for identification only, in the course of editorial reporting.
4. Intellectual property
App icons, screen captures and game titles remain the property of their rights holders and are reproduced in the limited form needed to identify and discuss the games. The text of the entries, the scoring method, the layout and the TapProbe name are ours.
You may quote a short passage with a clear credit and a link to the page it came from. Copying entries wholesale, republishing the catalogue, or presenting our notes as your own is not permitted. Requests for anything broader can be sent to the desk.
5. External links
Links to Google Play and to other external services are provided for convenience. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, their availability, their terms or their handling of your data. Following an external link is your decision.
6. Availability and changes
We aim to keep the site available and current, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Entries, scores and the structure of the catalogue may be revised, corrected or removed at any time. Substantive corrections are dated in the log on the main page.
7. Disclaimer
The site is provided on an “as is” basis. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude implied warranties about accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose and continuous availability, and we are not liable for loss arising from reliance on an entry, from an app you chose to install, or from the unavailability of the site.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee or other right you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.
8. Alerts
Signing up for alerts is voluntary. Alerts are sent by e-mail and, if you allow it, as browser notifications; both can be stopped at any time. Handling of your address and push identifier is described in the privacy notice, and the storage used on your device is listed in the cookie notice.
9. Applicable law
These terms are governed by the law of Australia, and the Australian courts have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them or from the use of the site.
10. Contact
Corrections, permission requests and questions about these terms go to probe@tapprobe.com. Corrections are acted on quickly; if we got something wrong, the entry is fixed and the change is recorded in the log.
