Findings and evidence

3 published · 2 shown, not confirmed

Things to watch for 1

Findings that met the published evidence standard.

Reports that the ads misrepresent the app

Reported by 66 users

Misleading advertising: raised by 66 distinct reviewers (13.1% of 502 reviews scanned)

Sources
User reviews
Agreement
User reports only. Published because the review evidence cleared this label’s own reviewer threshold.
Where measured
From App Store and Google Play reviews
Reported by
Raised by 66 distinct reviewers — 13.1% of the 502 reviews scanned on this store leg (App Store).
Published threshold
28 reviewers and 2.21% of at least 500 reviews
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.

Open evidence

Context 1

Facts that add context without being a charge.

Cheapest and priciest options are far apart

Measured

In-app purchases run from USD 0.99 to USD 99.99 — a 101x spread across 10 items

Sources
The store listing
Agreement
A measured fact from one deterministic, checkable source.
Where measured
From the App Store listing
Definition

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.

Open evidence

Positives 1

Specific evidence of a useful property, within the stated scope.

Developer says data deletion can be requested

Measured

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

Sources
The store listing
Agreement
A measured fact from one deterministic, checkable source.
Where measured
From the Google Play listing
Definition

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.

don't bother it's just another same old BASE BUILDER every single ad is obviously entirely fake even the reviews are botted because noone in their right mind would compliment this slop it's just another generic tap build app just like 99%…

False advertising!!! that's not even tha actual game play u see in tha thumbnails. It's a knock off Z Route Redemption and ur stuck behind a gate in every zombie battle , how dumb!!

Aggressive ad load

Shown, not confirmed

bombards you with quests and there's an ad banner on the bottom of the screen. Mine says in Arabic: تصبح على خير This game CONTAINS ADS. Graphics are mediocre, lags pretty much all the time not smooth at all on a Helio G99 Ultra.

Game is fun but takes up way too much space — The game is entertaining and I appreciate how I wasn’t getting ads shoved in my face every 10 seconds, but the big problem for me is the sheer size of the game. I only played it for about 30…

Fake ads — What this game has the least is shooting, it’s more about creating a city and with many ads

Addicting and entertaining game.. It is pay-to-win, only reason why it takes so long to max everything when you don't spend money on the game.. There are plenty of other games just like this one with different themes, but even if you…

Changing my rating back to a 5 star, as they finally did fix the immigration issue and are no longer holding players hostage in the Frontier States. Was that so hard devs?? If you had done this a year ago, so many players wouldn't have…

After 6 years i can finally say that it's become pay to win game, most leaders have no knowledge of the game just big credit cards, best players are the people who spends more and the don't really know how to yo play, the game become…

A sampled review illustrates one person’s experience. It does not establish a finding on its own.

Measurements

8 measured · 0 not assessed

Supporting measurements. They are not a complete list of possible harms or positives. “Not assessed” means we could not measure it — never zero, never a pass.

In the app package we scanned

Android package 26.902.1, scanned 14 Oct 2026. These describe that package, not the current store version.

Sensitive permissions
3–5 requested
Counted against a fixed list of eighteen sensitive Android permissions: sixteen runtime permissions, among them location, camera, microphone, contacts and SMS, and two the user must switch on in system settings, drawing over other apps and usage access. Requesting one is not itself a finding.
Analytics or tracking SDKs in the scanned package
1–2 found
Advertising SDKs in the scanned package
1–2 found
Counted as distinct SDKs in the package we scanned. One mediation bundle can contribute several, so this is not a count of advertisers.

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

How the automated analysis works

This assessment is produced automatically. Six independent signals are read — user reviews, SDKs in the app package, the app's own on-screen text, the app manifest, 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.
