For developers and the curious
The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Open observations that have not cleared the evidence bar.
Hard to cancel: raised by 22 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 18 reviews we read)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Cancelling the subscription is blocked, hidden, multi-step, or simply does not take effect.
Surprise charges: raised by 22 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 18 reviews we read)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
A large number of reviewers report being charged when they did not expect it — including being charged after cancelling during a free trial, or when a trial turned into a paid plan without warning. We cannot see anyone's billing, so this is published as an attributed user report: what reviewers say, and how many of them said it.
Nothing was published as a thing to watch for in this assessment. That is not a finding that nothing is wrong with the app.
404 reviews read for this analysis. Each observation keeps the sample and store it was based on.
HORRIBLE - DO NOT SUBSCRIBE — The lure you in with free/affordable subscription model. Then make it very hard to cancel subscription and increase price to outrageous amount. Total Scam!! Do NOT waste your money on this complete scam!…
Poor support — Terrible app support. They make it impossible to cancel.
Impossible to Cancel — Beware this app won’t let you cancel your subscription!! I followed the steps by emailing the email they have stated twice now and have gotten no response. I’m going to have to report a fraud claim to my card to get…
Do not install — I’ve emailed them and tried to cancel my subscription and no one is responding, I went through my subscriptions already and this app is not one of the options to cancel. They are literally taking my money.
Money gone — I canceled my subscription before the free subscription and am still getting charged, definitely not right lol.
Beware – Impossible to Cancel Subscription — I followed the developer’s instructions to cancel by email three separate times and never received a single response. Despite my repeated requests, they continued to charge my card month after…
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.
Supporting measurements: not a complete list of possible harms or positives. Measurement vocabulary 1.4 · how these are measured

calorie-counter-apple-1484327050Assessed 2026-10-27 from 404 user reviews, the store listing and its privacy label. 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.
From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.
These are really on sale; we just can’t tell from the name whether they recur.
This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, 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.
