About

Pocket Playbook started as a group chat where four friends argued about which games were worth keeping installed. The arguments were good, so we moved them somewhere public. Now we review mobile games the slow way: we download them, we play for days, and we take notes on the boring parts most reviews skip.,We care about the things you feel after an hour, not an hour of trailers. How warm does the phone get? Does the control scheme fight you? Can you play one-handed on the bus? Those questions shape every write-up here.,Games get picked by interest, not by hype. If something lands in the charts and looks worth a closer look, it goes on the list. If a reader points us to a small title nobody is talking about, that goes on the list too.,Nobody here gets paid by developers. We buy or download everything ourselves, and when a game disappoints us we say so plainly.
