The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Open observations that have not cleared the evidence bar.
Trial converts to a charge: raised by 9 distinct reviewers (1.8% of 505 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The free trial demands a payment method up front and/or rolls into a paid subscription with no usable warning.
Hard to cancel: raised by 13 distinct reviewers (2.6% of 505 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Cancelling the subscription is blocked, hidden, multi-step, or simply does not take effect.
Constant upsell pressure: raised by 8 distinct reviewers (1.6% of 505 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Declining an upgrade is written as a loss ('No thanks, I don't want to improve'), or users report being repeatedly pushed to subscribe during normal use.
Nothing was published as a thing to watch for in this assessment. That is not a finding that nothing is wrong with the app.
505 reviews read for this analysis. Each observation keeps the sample and store it was based on.
Ripped off! — Got offered the free trial then when I hit accept I was charged $109. This is ridiculous! Wouldn’t recommend this highway robbery to anyone smh
Thieving Shudder app — I decided to give Shudder app a try as I love horror film. I signed up for the 7 day free trial and $8.99 a month after the trial. Of course, these thieves immediately charged my card for 1 month despite me choosing…
Attempting to charge $89.99 — I signed up for a free trial but numerous attempts per day have been made to charge me $89.99.
yikes — I’ve been getting charged for months without being able to actually access the app. Even worse they make it impossible to cancel, I really liked this when I started but it’s left such a terrible taste in my mouth now :/
Unable to cancel via website — This app says sign into shudder on browser. Go to yippee right hand corner to acct and click cancel. Unfortunately there is nowhere to do this on web browser or app
I can't cancel — Because of how I collected my free trial, it is impossible for me to cancel my subscription. This app steals 7 dollars from me every month and I can do nothing about it. Never install this app through the apple app store…
Glitchy app, feels like a scam — Nearly every time I try to watch Shudder, it logs me out. I have been a subscriber for 5 years, and during all that time, this has been an issue. Recently, I was trying to watch a live streaming event, and…
This app is atrocious — I have had nothing but issues with this app. First when trying to sign up, it said 3 different emails I use already had accounts setup. Finally found an email that it would accept and subscribed, but when I click…
Why????! — After paying for my subscription it still prompts me to subscribe. When I confirm it says I have a subscription than just keeps prompting me to subscribe. I’ve paid but literally can not use the app at all. Horrible
A sampled review illustrates one person’s experience. It does not establish a finding on its own.
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.
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.

shudder-apple-919790315Assessed 2026-10-12 from 505 user reviews, the store listing and its privacy label. We have not scanned the app's package, so nothing on this page was read from inside the app itself.
What the stores publish. Store ratings are the stores’ numbers, not Appworthy’s, and are never averaged across stores.
No itemized purchase list is available for this listing.
This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, 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.
