For developers and the curious
The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Findings that met the published evidence standard.
Bundles 16 distinct ad networks / mediation SDKs: Amazon Publisher Services, AppLovin MAX, BidMachine, Chartboost and 12 more
The package embeds several distinct advertising or mediation SDKs — a stack built for ad volume, not for a single house ad.

Advertising volume or placement that interrupts normal use: ads between every action, unskippable or forced full-screen ads.
Paywall blocks the basics: raised by 108 distinct reviewers (4.8% of 2246 reviews scanned)
The core of the app — not extras — sits behind payment, or previously-free function moved behind a paywall.
Specific evidence of a useful property, within the stated scope.
Offers a one-time or lifetime purchase: "One time purchase"
The app's own text offers a one-time or lifetime purchase, or reviewers report that the price is stated clearly.

sha256:689f1016f022618fe9d707f2c8b9e4034754ad3a3071f78eedeb4d636e661ea8The 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.
Pay to progress: raised by 8 distinct reviewers (0.4% of 2246 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Advancement or competition is gated behind spending money rather than playing.
Price keeps rising: raised by 17 distinct reviewers (0.8% of 2246 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The price of the paid tier has been raised on existing users.
Paywall with no way past it: raised by 9 distinct reviewers (0.4% of 2246 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
A paywall screen ships with no dismiss, skip or 'maybe later' affordance anywhere in the package, so the app's own text offers no way in without paying.
Misleading advertising: raised by 7 distinct reviewers (0.3% of 2246 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Reviewers repeatedly report that the app is not what its advertising showed. We never see the ad creative itself, so nothing we collect can corroborate or refute this — it is published as an attributed user report: what reviewers say, and how many of them said it.
Offers a free trial ("Free Trial") with no renewal price, renewal date or auto-renew notice anywhere in the app's own text
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The app's own screens offer a free trial without stating, beside it, what happens when the trial ends. Read this as context rather than as a charge: renewal terms are normally shown on the store's purchase sheet instead, which we cannot see, and we can only observe one kind of evidence for this — so it is shown, but never counted as a charge.

Raised by 180 distinct reviewers — 8.0% of the 2,246 reviews scanned on this store leg (Google Play).
extremely disappointed and i never thought I would say that about chai. I absolutely loved it while it was simple and I just paid for ultra or premium but now regardless on what subscription you pay for that can be anywhere from £8.99 to…
you have several issues, one, too many ads, two, wize adblock works against your ads, three, you're too money hungry, the free features are paid, the ads roll up everywhere and lastly it won't give me any free messages anymore even with…
Chai was my top favorite. But with the new charge for "peices" is highway robbery. Roleplaying should be an enjoyable hobby, not another bill on the bank. Shame. Now the apo is programmed to forcefully throw ads in your face every line…

ARE YOU SERIOUS, NOW WE HAVE TO PAY TO CHAT OR ANYTHING??? I BOUGHT THE SUBSCRIPTION TO CHAT LONGER AND DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BUYING THOSE COIN THINGS. YET I STILL HAVE TO PAY, JUST TO CHAT! NO WONDER IT HAVE 2 STARS!
They can't stop shooting themselves in the foot. First they removed the free daily messages, then they made pieces a requirement to REGULARLY chat, now they've removed the free ways to obtain pieces to chat, and the "free" pieces are part…
whoever developed this app needs to make up their mind. at first, all you had to do was watch a few ads every now and then in order to continue playing free, and now you have to pay to use pieces, and the free check in piece amount…
See it used to be a 3.5 to a 4 then these pieces came in made it a bit like a pay to win but we had daily log in wasn't a problem but now it's removed. The lowest I can put is a 1 but honestly anyone thinking about getting it don't waste…
No sampled quote is attached to this observation.
Few years ago it wasn't that bad yet but now it's litteraly just ridiculous. You technically can't almost at all use the app anymore without buying premium because they're taking all the features away and there are ads every two messeges.

chai-google-com-beauchamp-messenger-externalAssessed 2026-10-14 from 2,246 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.
Write to [email protected], or use the form. Name the finding, the app version and the evidence that needs correcting. Factual corrections are free and never depend on buying anything.
