It is possible to take control of an app already published on Uptodown if you are the author or hold the distribution rights of the app. By doing so, you can personally manage the delivery of new updates and get download statistics, as well as have access to our support service.
To do so, complete the following steps:
-
Create a new user account in our Developer Console, preferably using an email address visible on the official website of the app in question, if it exists.
-
Submit a ticket using our support form and choose the Claim option. There, you’ll specify the URL of the app (or apps) to claim. To confirm authorship, it is preferable that the email address used for registration is visible on the official website associated with the app or has the same domain (For example: <name>@<mygame>.com). Otherwise, other alternative methods will be requested such as sending a direct message through the official social accounts of the app (if any) or an official identification document associated with the person credited in the app itself as the app’s author.
-
After the request, our support team will analyze the claim and proceed to grant authorship if the requirements are met; there is no processing time limit. After receiving a confirmation notification, the developer will be able to access the Developer Dashboard and see their app listed in the Apps section.
