There are lots of sites and blogs in the Internet offering iPhone apps reviews. But they are not able to review every app. So that’s why some sites offer paid reviews – for some fee your app will be reviewed for sure. Usually review is done within 48 hours or something like this. Most likely your app will be still in Top list by Release Date and perhaps sells driven from review sites plus sells from iTunes can boost your app to the Top!
So which sites offer quick paid review?
Unfortunately I found only four of them… I googled for about two hours and tried to find out as much info as possible.
So where to buy reviews for your iPhone app?
OK, here is what I found:
Fee is $5 per review. Also provides opportunity to put your app in premium section with more exposure. It costs $25 and $50 depending on the section. Site claims 100,000/mo visitors and 500,000/mo pageviews.

To be reviewed ASAP you need to buy advertisement package for a 6 month. Ads starting from $25. So besides review you will also receive 6 month ads options for $150. Site claims 80,000 unique visitors and 275,000 pageviews.

Price for review is $20. No info about visitors and pageviews were found…
Review fee is $100. Quite expensive taking into account that app will be reviewed within 5 days!
Calculation
If you are going to buy reviews on these sites you will need to pay $275. You will receive four reviews plus 6 month advertisement package.
I suppose that total amount of unique visitors of these sites is about 400,000 per month. Your app’s review will be on the home page for maximum of two days. It means that your app’s review will be seen by maximum 26-30k unique visitors. Plus visitors driven by 6 month advertisement and plus more visitors over long time as far as your review will remain on site forever.
I think it’s not bad at all to pay $275 for up to 30,000 prospective customers! Even if 3,000 users will buy your app you will earn at least $2100 ($0.99 – Apple’s commission). It seems to be a good deal.
P.S. I’m sure that there are much more sites offering quick paid reviews, but I just hadn’t find them! Please tell me more sites offering paid reviews.
P.P.S. This post is theoretical and I will not guarantee that it will work. I also would to hear real experience of buying reviews. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
I dont know actually it is profitable or not but many are still doing this.
