About this app

Claw Master invites you to master claw machine gameplay as you guide a lone hero through ever-changing roguelike dungeons, clash in epic boss fights, and snatch the gear that turns the tide of battle.

Step into a playful, fast-paced adventure where skillful claw grabs meet deep RPG choices. Easy to pick up and endlessly replayable, the game blends timing and strategy: grab resources, adapt builds, and push your limits against fearsome bosses.

How to Play:

Claw Machine Gameplay: Use the claw to grab resources, weapons, and powerups – timing and precision matter.

Roguelike Mechanics: Every run is unique with randomly generated levels, enemies, and abilities. No two playthroughs are the same!

Strategic Build System: Choose abilities to shape your playstyle – boost damage, increase luck, or push enemies back with force.…

Developer says data deletion can be requested

Measured

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

Sources
The store listing
Agreement
A measured fact from one deterministic, checkable source.
Where measured
From the Google Play listing
Definition

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.

Update - came back to try. In one level DURING GAMEPLAY, 2 forced ads, and another when I LOST the level. 2 stars is reduced to 1. Stalled progress on level 4. i am earning 257 gold and need 2000 for an upgrade. there is a pig enemy that…

This game would be good if it did not force you to watch ads. Even if you dont want to double your coins it still forces you to watch an ad. Randomly throughout the levels for no reason at all it adds in an ad. It quickly gets to the…

1★ · Google Play · 2026-08-02

Gameplay loop is great, but the relentless amount of forced ads ruins it. I'm not talking about the optional ads for bonuses - those are fine. But in addition to those, it pushes forced ads onto my phone. They pop up randomly in the…

Went from a 4 star game to a 1 star game. I was enjoying the gameplay loop. The claw aspect is unique, and it adds a level of strategy not seen in other games. The ads were annoying, but manageable. It didn't feel like you had to watch…

Poor mechanics. Broad gap between character and adversary- too wide- difficult to pass levels= pay to progress/pay to win..

1★ · Google Play · 2026-10-12

A pay to win game. If you have the time to grind the whole day playing repeatedly, then go ahead.

1★ · Google Play · 2026-09-29

A sampled review illustrates one person’s experience. It does not establish a finding on its own.

Measurements

5 measured · 3 not assessed

Supporting measurements. They are not a complete list of possible harms or positives. “Not assessed” means we could not measure it — never zero, never a pass.

What this report can and cannot show

How the automated analysis works

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.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A hands-on test can confirm or contradict a finding and adds its own measurements; it does not change a measurement row. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
