TouchArcade

TouchArcade (stylized as toucharcade) is a mobile games journalism website. It was launched in 2008 as a sister site of MacRumors by its founder Arnold Kim and Blake Patterson. TouchArcade also hosts a forum and a weekly podcast.

History
TouchArcade was launched in 2008 as a blog by MacRumors founder Arnold Kim and Blake Patterson. The spinoff site "(tracked) the new games available for the iPhone and iPod Touch". It also included articles, reviews and a forum. Eli Hodapp became editor-in-chief in 2009.

In 2012, TouchArcade released an iOS app which included mobile game listings. In June 2015, TouchArcade launched a Patreon for crowdfunded donations. Hodapp explained that mobile game journalism has been struggling as developers shifted towards in-app advertising, and that ad revenue for the website was plummeting. Hodapp stepped down from his position in 2019 to focus on his role as co-founder of GameClub, and Jared Nelson succeeded him as editor-in-chief.

Reception
In 2009, CNET ranked TouchArcade sixth on its list of the top ten gaming blogs. Time named it one of The 50 Best Websites of 2011 and described its reviews as a "cogent, reliable guide" to the games in the App Store.
