“I give up. Came back to it wanting some fun racing but no. - full pay to win trash with karts having varying powerups in item race, pay to win trash in speed race karts having an advantage overall. - full on garbage balancing.”

What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.

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
Under 65% 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.
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
One source only — shown, not confirmed 1
A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.
Reported by users: Pay to progress
Advancement or competition is gated behind spending money rather than playing.
What we saw: Pay to progress: raised by 15 distinct reviewers (3.7% of 407 reviews scanned)

Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.
“A game riddled with Korean Players invading the server making the game unfair and unplayable. (ban VPNs, I asked for this year's ago) THIS IS WEST SERVER the game is literally only bots on ranked, on certain tracks they will teleport to…”
“Gameplay is incredible and timeless, been playing since the open beta for the original AND Rush! It still maintains its P2W aspect at higher ranks, unfortunately, but it can be circumvented with free MAX karts (7d each, twice) If I could…”
