For developers and the curious
The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Open observations that have not cleared the evidence bar.
Energy / timer gating: raised by 5 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 46 reviews we read)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Use is rationed by an energy/hearts/lives meter that runs out and forces a wait or a purchase.
Nothing was published as a thing to watch for in this assessment. That is not a finding that nothing is wrong with the app.
228 reviews read for this analysis. Each observation keeps the sample and store it was based on.
ads — it was so such better before the “ ran out of energy! “ update. 100% wasn’t needed, i shouldn’t have to pay just to workout at home. now i have to watch ads in the middle of the workout. 0/10. ruined the app.
good app but has a bug — i really love this app and it does make working out a lot more fun and motivating, but the main problem is how fast the energy depletes and that it doesn’t tell you when it finishes recharging. if you refresh the…
Could be better — This could be a really cool app, if only it tracked you correctly and wouldn’t turn off randomly. I’ve been using this app for two weeks now. Sometimes it doesn’t track my movements correctly, sometimes not at all…
A sampled review illustrates one person’s experience. It does not establish a finding on its own.
“Not assessed” means we could not measure it. It is never a zero and never a pass.
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.

Each store’s release notes, as the developer wrote them. They are the developer’s words, not ours.
Luvu got a glow-up: now fitter, faster, and even more fun! We've polished, tweaked, and sprinkled in extra marshmallow magic so everyone gets a better workout.
Appworthy
home-workouts-and-fitnessAssessed 2026-10-27 from 228 user reviews, the store listing and its privacy label. We have not scanned the app's package, so nothing on this page was read from inside the app itself.
What the stores publish. Store ratings are the stores’ numbers, not Appworthy’s, and are never averaged across stores.
From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.
These are really on sale; we just can’t tell from the name whether they recur.
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.
