Where measured
From App Store reviews

This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.

Definition

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.

ADS, ADS, ADS — Ads come every minute once they start, last a couple minutes, then start a second version of same ad. More ADS then play time. And when you’re competing it just eats up lots of time… very annoying. Game is relaxing, if you…

Too many ads — Soooooo many ads. Can’t get through one level without watching 5+ really long ads to pass one level. Love the game but it’s nothing like the Xmas ad I saw and played. Would love to just be able to play each level…

Not as advertised — This game is nothing like the ads that kept running in my other games. And no matter how many times I turned off the sound and music I kept playing music and sound effects. Deleted it within the second day. Very…

1★ · App Store · 2026-06-25

Loud, game glitches — Deleting this. Even with sound turned off, the game allows ads to play loud sound that you can’t mute or close out of. The add banner at the bottom constantly plays sound or opens webpages without you clicking on it…

Progress pauses until you wait or pay

Shown, not confirmed

Decent game — Relaxing but waiting 2 minutes to even beginning to play the game is making me consider deleting it. I don’t mind some ads, but not before I start playing.

4★ · App Store · 2026-05-28

Disappointing — I like this game but the fact that the lives timer will stop once I leave the app is so bad. I haven’t played in two days and I’m still on 0 lives. It makes no sense. Bummer

2★ · App Store · 2026-03-10

Lives — The lives don’t refill unless you’re in the game.

1★ · App Store · 2026-03-10

Pay to progress

Shown, not confirmed

Impossible — Once you pay to remove ads, the game becomes impossible to advance through without paying to acquire tools to use to be actually able to pass levels. Absolutely ridiculous.

2★ · App Store · 2026-08-21

Too many issues — I absolutely love this game! That being said, it crashes constantly and you have to redownload and lose everything. You also will reach a point where you will need to pay to win. Very few opportunities to earn anything…

2★ · App Store · 2026-08-18

Great game but ads won’t load — This game is enjoyable and I would’ve given 5 stars, however the ads won’t load which causes you to lose progress or have to pay money to continue the game. Emails were sent with no response back and the…

Method and limits

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.
