Editorial Policy

Scope

Our editorial coverage focuses on four verticals:

• MOD APK games — modified Android games with altered gameplay, resources or unlocks.
• Mod menus — in-game overlays that add features to titles like GTA V, Roblox, Phasmophobia and Fortnite.
• Premium unlocked apps — apps whose paid features have been made accessible in a modified build.
• Gaming tools & unlock utilities — executors, name generators, device-unlock APKs and similar.

Anything outside these verticals — for example financial advice, medical information, adult content — is off-limits and will not be published on our site.

Sourcing

We rely on three tiers of sources, in order of preference:

1. Primary sources. Publisher patch notes, official game changelogs, our own testers’ in-app screenshots, and the original mod authors’ release posts.
2. Community sources. Reputable Discord servers, GitHub repositories with a public history, subreddits with active moderation. We link to community sources when they add value.
3. Aggregator sources. We only cite other blogs to disagree with them or to acknowledge a discovery. We never build a review by copying another blog’s claims.

Writing standards

Every article on MODENU must:

• Be written by a named human, never spun by unsupervised AI. See our Corrections Policy.
• Include the exact version number and file size of the file under review.
• State up front whether the file is safe, risky or unverified, in plain English.
• Provide screenshots from actual gameplay, not marketing renders.
• Disclose any advertising or affiliate relationship at the top of the article.

Fact-checking

Before publication, every article passes through a second-eyes check. The reviewer verifies:

• Version numbers match the file on disk.
• Claimed features (“unlimited coins”, “premium unlocked”) work on a clean install.
• External links point to the intended source and are safe to click.
• Any statistic (e.g. “1.2M downloads”) has a source we can archive.

Updates & freshness

MOD APKs age fast — an update to Roblox or GTA V can break a mod overnight. We re-verify our top-100 titles daily, and every article carries a Last updated timestamp. If a mod stops working, we either update it, mark it as broken, or unpublish it — we never leave stale download links live.

Independence & disclosures

Editorial coverage is decided by the editorial team alone. Our advertising team has no visibility into the calendar and no ability to green-light or spike an article. When we cover an app or game whose developer also advertises on the site, we say so inline.

Contributors sign a written pledge to disclose any relationship — personal, professional or financial — with the subject of a review. See our Advertising Policy and Disclaimer for related context.

Reader feedback

If you believe an article on MODENU is misleading, inaccurate or unfair, please contact [email protected]. We respond to every complaint and, where warranted, publish a correction under the Corrections Policy.

Conflicts of interest

Every contributor discloses, on joining and again every year, any commercial or personal relationship they have with a game publisher, mod-menu developer, ad network or affiliate program. Disclosed relationships are logged internally, and any article touching that relationship is either reassigned to another reviewer or carries a top-of-article disclosure.

If a reviewer holds equity or has an active paid consulting relationship with the maker of an app under review, they are barred from covering that app entirely. There is no way to “write around” that kind of conflict.

Diversity of coverage

MOD APK coverage tends to concentrate on the same fifteen or twenty huge titles. That is fine for traffic but bad for readers who play niche or regional titles. Our editorial calendar deliberately allocates a slot every week for a smaller title — a Brazilian racing game, a Filipino card game, a Turkish sports sim — so we do not become just another mirror of the same top-10 list.

Coverage of banned or removed apps

When an app is removed from the Google Play Store, banned from the Apple App Store, or delisted by the developer, we do not automatically un-publish our review. Removal from a store is not the same as the app being unsafe or the review becoming unhelpful. Instead we add a prominent notice at the top of the article explaining what happened, link to the developer’s statement if any, and update the download availability section.

If the app was removed because it was found to be malicious, we un-publish the review immediately and replace it with a short explainer noting the risk. Our goal in these cases is to protect readers who might otherwise search for the app and land on a shadier mirror.
