Methodology

How we rate werewolf apps and series

Moonbound is a one-genre guide, written and checked by people — every page is first-party work by our own team, not supplied, syndicated or generated in bulk. Here is exactly how a number gets onto this site.

What we check, in order

• Official listings first. Episode counts, free-episode counts and prices come from the apps' official pages and US App Store / Google Play listings. If an official listing does not state a number, we print “not publicly confirmed” instead of borrowing one.
• Catalog snapshots second. View counts and shelf sizes are cross-checked against dated catalog trackers (DramaCatalog's ReelShort snapshots, FindMyRomantasy's cross-app catalog, Vertical Charts). Every view number carries its snapshot date.
• When sources disagree, the official listing wins — and if we cannot settle it, the number does not run.

How app scores are built

Our werewolf score weighs: tracked werewolf shelf depth (30 percent), verified hit strength (25 percent), free route generosity (20 percent), weekly price fairness (15 percent), and production style for romance, originals vs dubs (10 percent). Scores judge an app for werewolf viewers only; a great all-genre app can score lower here, and we say why on its comparison page.

How money works here

Some outbound links are affiliate links: if you install an app or spend inside it after following one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes a score, a ranking or a fact — and where an app currently earns us nothing (ShortMax, whose program was reported paused in November 2026), we say so on the page.

Corrections

Prices in this category change within weeks, so we re-check monthly and date every snapshot. Found a stale number or a wrong episode count? Email hello@vibecodepicks.com with the app and the screen you saw — corrections are the most valuable mail we get.

Moonbound is operated by the team behind VibeCodePicks. This page is the only place we mention it: the guide stands or falls on its own checking.
