About this app
Aliens vs Zombies: Invasion is an exciting mobile game that combines tower defense mechanics, action, and elements of strategy. In this game, players take control of a flying saucer and navigate through various levels, devouring any objects that fit within its size.
As the saucer consumes objects, valuable resources may drop, which are essential for constructing and upgrading powerful cannons. Additionally, every object devoured by the saucer grants it experience points, which can be used to level up and enhance its abilities.
The main adversaries in Aliens vs Zombies: Invasion are zombies. These relentless enemies will stop at nothing to invade and destroy your base. It is up to you to strategically navigate through the levels, devouring objects, collecting resources, and constructing powerful cannons to fend off the zombie invasion.…

What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.

Themes reported by reviewers
1 theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
80–89% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.

What the analysis found
App-specific findings, grouped by what each one rests on. How they are graded lives on its own page.
Positive evidence 1
Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.
Developer says data deletion can be requested
The developer's data-safety disclosure on the store states that users can request deletion of their data, or the app's own text offers a way to delete the account. This restates what the developer declares; it is not a test of whether deletion works. Apple publishes no equivalent disclosure, so on an Apple-only listing only the app's own text can support it.
What we saw: The developer's store data-safety disclosure states that data deletion can be requested; we have not seen a deletion control in the app's own text
One source only — shown, not confirmed 1
A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.
Reported by users: Pay to progress
Advancement or competition is gated behind spending money rather than playing.

“not recommended awful . aliens vs zombies has become so lame, I literally bored now, some updates take like 15 days to complete. when I first started playing 3 years ago it wasn't about spending money to progress. now if you don't spend…”
“Good fun to play. You don't have to pay for things to progress but it does seem you need to pay (when I tested this it was about £20 in packs) in order to win the best weapons in events. That is a bit sad as it is out of reach for the…”
