Methodology
How we test and review guides
A plain checklist for what “reviewed” means on y1game.tech — and what it does not mean.
No invented results. Evidence blocks on pillar pages are filled only when we have a real device check, screenshot or documented observation. Empty fields stay marked as not yet recorded rather than filled with guesses.
Two dates you will see on pages
- App build checked — we observed a specific Android build / in-app screen on that date (screenshots or step notes).
- Page reviewed — we re-checked the published steps, claims and links on that date. This is an editorial pass, not a new device lab test by itself.
Both can appear on the same page. Example: app build checked 6 August 2026, page reviewed 9 August 2026.
Review checklist
- Identify the page intent (download, login, version, safety, etc.).
- Confirm the primary outbound download host named on the page (currently referral links to
y1share.com). - Walk the published install or login steps against Android UI labels where possible.
- Record date, and when available: device model, Android version, APK/build label, result, errors seen.
- Capture screenshots that show the real UI — not decorative stock art.
- Update the page date and link readers here when methodology matters.
Evidence template (used on pillars)
| Field | What we record |
|---|---|
| Test date | Calendar date of the check |
| Device | Model when a physical/emulator test was run |
| Android version | OS version when tested |
| APK / build note | Version string if visible; otherwise “not recorded” |
| Result | What completed, failed or could not be verified |
| Screenshots | Descriptive filenames and alt text |
Screenshot policy
Prefer real app UI that supports the step being explained. File names should describe the screen (for example
y1-game-dashboard-android.webp). Alt text describes the image; it is not a keyword list.
What we do not do
- Claim an APK is malware-free for every future download.
- Publish fabricated aggregate ratings or anonymous “player surveys.”
- Tell readers to turn off Play Protect or ignore altered/re-signed package warnings.
- Promise deposits, withdrawals, bonuses or legal clearance.
