    Looking for some other game sites like toucharcade to spread the word about an upcoming game as well as getting some user feedback before the game is released.

    If you're looking for feedback, do you have a testflight account and beta testers already?

    They seem to be slowing down. They used to have a really good podcast, too, but last one was in August.

    Yes, for mid/hardcore mobile gaming TA is simply the best.
    For casual games there are no sites at all because casual gamers are ...casual and don't look for mobile games on the Internet. So polish your gameplay and pray for a feature slot.

    By the way, never pay money for app or game reviews, these sites are completely useless even if they have decent Alexa rank.

    Anyway, here's our hand-crafted list of sites where you can possibly land iOS/Android game press release (~1k to ~100k at Alexa).

    I will follow Qot's lead and add few more places from our soft-launch media list as well.

    Just let me add, that you don't need to be featured everywhere - it's more meaningful to build a long lasting relationship with a few editors and together with them produce content, that actually adds value. As your game will slowly build up a media coverage, you'll see more and more articles organically popping up and neat opportunities will start appearing.

    And here is one trick -> Get comfortable with Google's advanced operators and use them to check where were your competitor apps featured. Here is an example for Candy Crush Saga.
