What we measured

Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.

How these are measured

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.

What the analysis found

App-specific findings, grouped by what each one rests on. How they are graded lives on its own page.

Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.

Developer says data deletion can be requested
Measuredfrom the store listingview evidence
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.

“current events are RNG based and some people cant even complete it as a f2p, crazy that the one thing thats supposed to be for everybody is gated behind microtransactions, very scummy. Literally every single mechanic in this game is P2W…”

“Trash game. Slow and infinite loading. Pay to win. Nothing new contents. Every update is only for steal your money.”

“It's 100% P2W, don't lie to yourself or others, stop the cap, stop the cope, we all know it. Nexon's greed knows no bounds. That being said, I do enjoy the game, and I would say it's a combination of nostalgia, my aesthetic preference…”
