Independent evidence report
The evidence behind this assessment
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.
Which version this describes
When we ran this analysis, and what the store lists now.
This analysis describes version 2.6.9 of the app, analyzed 2026-10-04 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 2.7.2, updated 2026-10-04.
The app has been updated since this analysis. The findings on this page describe version 2.6.9, not the version now listed on the store.
Release notes for the newer versions, in the developer’s own words:
Version 2.7.2 · 2026-10-04
An important fix for everyone on iOS 15 and iOS 16: the app could crash the moment it opened. That is fixed, and we're sorry for the trouble. Also fixed: chat messages that arrived while a conversation was closed could vanish from the conversation after the app was reopened, even though the chat list still showed them. They now stay, and any that went missing come back on the next open. Thank you for the reports that led us to both.
What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.
Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.

Themes reported by reviewers
No theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
80–89% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.

What the analysis found
App-specific findings, grouped by what each one rests on. How they are graded lives on its own page.
Context 1
Measured and published because a reader would want to know — deliberately not a charge. The measurement alone does not show a harm.
Cheapest and priciest options are far apart
The disclosed in-app purchases span an unusually wide price range. Published as context: the cheapest and priciest items may be different kinds of product entirely, so the spread alone deducts nothing.
What we saw: In-app purchases run from USD 0.99 to USD 39.99 — a 40x spread across 3 items
