Offers a one-time or lifetime purchase: "Buy subscription but the product is one-time purchase"
The app's own text offers a one-time or lifetime purchase, or reviewers report that the price is stated clearly.

sha256:cc0b257a45f4c4a1e31389cb4dceba83f8b83fcfe6869eea4c1318c2e1ef0e0bThe 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
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.
Open observations that have not cleared the evidence bar.
Aggressive ad load: raised by 58 distinct reviewers (1.7% of 3375 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Advertising volume or placement that interrupts normal use: ads between every action, unskippable or forced full-screen ads.
Pay to progress: raised by 12 distinct reviewers (0.4% of 3375 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.

too many adds
The game is good, but I’ve deleted it because too many ads consume my mobile data. I want to play the game, not watch ads. The ads have made the game worse and ruined the experience. Online games shouldn’t be filled with ads like this.
No sampled quote is attached to this observation.

asphalt-8-google-com-gameloft-android-anmp-glofta8hmAssessed 2026-10-18 from 3,375 user reviews, the app's package, the store listing and its privacy label.
What the stores publish. Store ratings are the stores’ numbers, not Appworthy’s, and are never averaged across stores.
This assessment is produced automatically. Six independent signals are read — user reviews, SDKs in the app package, the app's own on-screen text, the app manifest, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.
No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.
There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.
Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.
