Findings that met the published evidence standard.

sha256:6ca40660960eef07d2fbdd16e7a34d4e46cf508e1a0dfdaa81b37e483fc94ed6Aggressive ad load: raised by 23 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 17 reviews we read)
Advertising volume or placement that interrupts normal use: ads between every action, unskippable or forced full-screen ads.
Specific evidence of a useful property, within the stated scope.
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
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.

Progress itself is for sale: "The ID of the current level session. A new ID is set prior to playing any level in the game, meaning when you press the play button on the main map, or when you replay a level after having failed it. If you ru…

Advancement or competition is gated behind spending money rather than playing.

sha256:6ca40660960eef07d2fbdd16e7a34d4e46cf508e1a0dfdaa81b37e483fc94ed6Offers a trial ("Do you want to learn more?") and states no renewal price, renewal date or auto-renew notice anywhere in the app's own text
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The app's own screens offer a free trial without stating, beside it, what happens when the trial ends. Read this as context rather than as a charge: renewal terms are normally shown on the store's purchase sheet instead, which we cannot see, and we can only observe one kind of evidence for this — so it is shown, but never counted as a charge.

sha256:6ca40660960eef07d2fbdd16e7a34d4e46cf508e1a0dfdaa81b37e483fc94ed6The app's own text says: "Sorry! Without a live internet connection, you cannot view this ad."
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The app's own copy describes working without a connection — offline mode, downloading for offline use, or content saved for later. Shown because readers filter on it; it is a feature, not a fairness property, and never counts for or against an app.

EDIT: What a shame.. an advert after every level you complete, this has turned my original review right round I don't have time being a busy mum to watch adverts 😢 Just a really nice relaxing game that doesn't take too much thought or…
This used to be my favorite game; so many adventures and always something new to look forward too. After 10,436 levels I had to get a new device. After reinstalling and logging in on my new device - the ads have become really…
Too many ads. Crashes constantly.
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.

penny-and-floAssessed 2026-10-25 from 400 user reviews, the app's package, the store listing and its privacy label.
What the stores publish. Store ratings are the stores’ numbers, not Appworthy’s, and are never averaged across stores.
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.
Write to [email protected], or use the form. Name the finding, the app version and the evidence that needs correcting. Factual corrections are free and never depend on buying anything.
