“I'm on lvl 102. I honestly love the sounds and graphics, but it has a lot more potential. Examples: Different goals, new maps, and a pause button would be nice too. Waiting 7 to 10 minutes before forcing ads on people, I get 3 or more ads…”

About this app
Welcome to Hole.io, the wildly satisfying eat-the-world game played by millions! Drop into busy New York, a creaky pirate cove, or a glowing sci-fi metropolis - and swallow it whole. Cars, lampposts, hot dogs and even giant skyscrapers!
Whether you've got five minutes while watching your favorite show or an hour to unwind before bed, just tap, glide, and watch the city crumble into a black hole. No pressure, no stress - just the pure, oddly relaxing joy of eating everything in sight.
EAT EVERYTHING Start tiny, barely big enough to swallow a trash can. Grow huge, big enough to gulp down skyscrapers in one bite. The bigger you get, the louder the crunch. Pure satisfaction.
THE PERFECT BREAK Easy to learn, instantly satisfying. Play in short bursts: morning coffee, lunch break, evening unwind. A relaxing, oddly soothing game for casual players.…

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
1 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
65–79% 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.
Graded bands · predicate set 1.4 · how these are measured
What the analysis found
App-specific findings, grouped by what each one rests on. How they are graded lives on its own page.
The catch list 1
Charges we publish at a strength we stand behind: measured from an artefact, agreed by independent sources, or reported by enough users to clear that charge's own published bar.
Reported by users: Aggressive ad load
Advertising volume or placement that interrupts normal use: ads between every action, unskippable or forced full-screen ads.
What we saw: Raised by 343 distinct reviewers — 53.7% of the 639 reviews scanned on this store leg (App Store).
Positive evidence 1
Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.
Developer says data deletion can be requested
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.
What we saw: 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
Highlighted reviews
Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.
“there are so many ads that once you into the rhythm, an ad pops up and you forget where you left off. and it's every 10 seconds. it could be a really great game besides that fact.”
“the game is good and has good graphics but it has TOO MANY ADS like every 30 seconds which interrupts you MID GAME”
