What we measured

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
80–89% 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.
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: Tracking and data collection concerns
The app ships session-recording or a wide tracking stack, holds permissions that read personal data, or is reported by users to sell, leak or over-collect it. The evidence line says which of those was observed.

Highlighted reviews
Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.
“Poor UX — Nonstop creepy robot phone calls from AAA with no purpose. Poor UX loses your information. App insists that all permissions are turned on. “You have changed the icon for Guardian” Can’t update billing info because app wants…”
“Security Flaws — There’s no reason a car safety app needs my fitness tracker or microphone. This is a huge data breach waiting to happen and it seems like more than a few customers already complained about that. Maybe if it only needed…”
