MANAGE RELATIONSHIPS

For developers and the curious
The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Open observations that have not cleared the evidence bar.
Energy / timer gating: raised by 7 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 57 reviews we read)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Use is rationed by an energy/hearts/lives meter that runs out and forces a wait or a purchase.
Nothing was published as a thing to watch for in this assessment. That is not a finding that nothing is wrong with the app.
400 reviews read for this analysis. Each observation keeps the sample and store it was based on.
Overall good game, great fun only complaint I have is the fact that you can only play one season every six hours. I understand that the game creators need to make money and if the cool down has to stay then at least make it something more…
i gave it a 4, 3 and it is a 2. solid game, it can be fun. became a 3 because after playing first season you have to pay whole game or wait 6 hours to play. I waited me 6 hours. it's a 2 because when you come back they force a data…
this is so good recommended for antistress, but you will wait for 6 hours to play another season, to play unlimited you need to pay real money, so sad for me because I'm broke
A sampled review illustrates one person’s experience. It does not establish a finding on its own.
“Not assessed” means we could not measure it. It is never a zero and never a pass.
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.

Appworthy
basketball-superstar-2Assessed 2026-10-27 from 400 user reviews. We have not scanned the app's package, so nothing on this page was read from inside the app itself.
What the stores publish. Store ratings are the stores’ numbers, not Appworthy’s, and are never averaged across stores.
This assessment is produced automatically. One independent signal is read — user reviews — and each candidate finding is filed under the source that supports 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.
