Editorial Policy

Written by Muneeb Rana · Last updated 26 October 2026

Sources

We cite sources that a reader can check, and every source on this site carries the date we accessed it. In order of preference:

Source type	Examples	Used for
Classification and guidelines	WHO ICD-11, NHS, CDC	Definitions and health advice
Peer-reviewed research	Journal articles via PubMed or DOI	Claims about effects and evidence
Clinical organisations	Mayo Clinic, SAMHSA, APA	Treatment options and where to get help
Official platform help pages	Apple Support, Google Help	Device settings and filters
Store listings	App Store and Google Play pages	App features and prices in comparisons

We avoid using forums, influencer videos or company marketing as evidence for health claims. When a popular claim isn't supported, such as NoFap "superpowers", we say so.

Editorial policy: medical review

Guides that discuss health, such as addiction, sexual function, sleep or mental health, are reviewed by Safi Allah Khan before publishing and when they're significantly updated. Reviewed pages name the reviewer in the byline. Feature pages, legal pages and comparison pages aren't medically reviewed.

How we write about addiction

Whether "porn addiction" is a real diagnosis is debated. We use the WHO's ICD-11 category, compulsive sexual behaviour disorder, as the reference point (WHO ICD-11; Kraus et al., 2018), and we avoid labelling readers. We write without shame or moral judgement, and we don't promise cures or timelines.

Comparisons and conflicts of interest

Raze is our app. Every comparison page says so near the top. Facts about other apps come from their public store listings and websites, checked on the date shown. We don't use affiliate links on comparison pages , and we don't accept payment to rank an app.

What we never publish

• Invented ratings, review counts, user numbers or testimonials.
• Features that we haven't confirmed in the current app. Unconfirmed details are marked for confirmation until checked.
• Explicit images or links to explicit sites.
• Medical claims without a source.

Updates and corrections

Each page shows a "last updated" date. When we find or are told about an error, we correct it, and for significant changes we add a note to the page. Report a problem through the contact page.

Language we use

We say "slip" or "relapse", not "failure". We don't describe readers as "addicts". We avoid fear-based claims about what porn does to the brain, and we don't use before-and-after stories. Where research is mixed, as with porn and sexual function, we say it's mixed and link both sides.

How we handle store data

App features and prices change often. For each comparison and feature page we record the date we checked the store listing, and we re-check when we update the page. If we can't confirm something, for example because a listing has been removed, we say so on the page, as we do for Raze's own Android listing.

Independence from advertisers

No company pays for coverage on this site . If that ever changes, sponsored content will be labelled clearly at the top of the page.

Reviewing older content

We aim to review each health guide at least once a year , and sooner if new research or guidance changes what we'd say.
