Softonic is the world’s leading safe software distribution platform. From our headquarters in Barcelona (founded in 1997), we help people discover, evaluate, and download the right tools for their needs—across Windows, Android, and Mac. Our catalogue includes over 1 million programs, available in 17+ languages, and serves more than 100 million users every month.
Safety and trust are at the core of what we do. We apply rigorous checks, advanced malware detection, and continuous monitoring to keep our catalogue clean and to surface reliable, up-to-date downloads. Alongside security, we focus on clarity: expert write-ups, user ratings, and clear categorisation are designed to help you compare options quickly and decide with confidence.
A quick but important note: Softonic distributes software, but we do not own or develop the programs themselves. If your feedback relates to a specific app’s features, bugs, pricing, or developer support, the most effective route is to review or contact the program’s publisher directly. This ensures your comments reach the people who can improve the product.
This Trustpilot page is the best place to share your experience with Softonic as a service—our website usability, download experience, safety standards, content quality, and support. Your reviews and suggestions help us prioritise improvements and keep raising the bar for a smooth, safe, and transparent download journey.
