For developers and the curious
The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Specific evidence of a useful property, within the stated scope.
Offers a one-time or lifetime purchase: "Get Lifetime Access"
The app's own text offers a one-time or lifetime purchase, or reviewers report that the price is stated clearly.

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.
No advertising or mediation SDK among the 9 SDKs detected in the package
No advertising or mediation SDK of any kind was found in the package.

Deadline pressure in the app's own copy: "Limited offer"
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The app's own purchase copy attaches a deadline to buying — a countdown, 'offer ends in', 'limited time' — or ships a countdown view on a purchase-screen layout.

This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Cancelling the subscription is blocked, hidden, multi-step, or simply does not take effect.
Paywall blocks the basics: raised by 10 distinct reviewers (1.3% of 749 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The core of the app — not extras — sits behind payment, or previously-free function moved behind a paywall.
Misleading advertising: raised by 21 distinct reviewers (2.8% of 749 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
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.
Nothing was published as a thing to watch for in this assessment. That is not a finding that nothing is wrong with the app.
749 reviews read for this analysis. Each observation keeps the sample and store it was based on.
They are not honest about how you can cancel the app which is very frustrating. You cannot cancel it in the play store like they state in the instructions to cancel. Also the quality of the text to speech is poor. They can't recognize…
I tried free trail for 5 minutes. I decided I didn't like the app. But it's almost impossible to find where to cancel subscription. Links that are to "close account" just keeps loading but never loads. No cancel subscription links. I…
Not matched with the ads , so hard to unsubscribe, the renewal is more than double the original subscription amount, I subscribed with amount of 24 USD , and the renewal was 49.99 USD and couldn't cancel my subscription so far.
Its ok the book scanner sucks i was trying to load up my textbooks and it kept skipping around when reading and i had to crop every photo because it wasn't reading right and also literally everything cost money the ai,summary,podcast…
tldr: long intro, too many questions, not free. The intro asks you a bunch of questions and then makes you listen to an introduction that you cannot skip. then it forces you to pick a voice that you can't use. unless you pay. they run an…
Yes there is the option to listen to documents for free. However, changing the voice at anytime is a lie unless you dont mind paying. I was testing out other voices, but the moment I clicked a new voice just to hear it before confirming…
The tech is decent, but the business model relies on deception. They drag you through a long profile setup without mentioning costs, then hit you with a $99/yr subscription. Back out, and they offer 60% off. Decline again, and they push…
Wish they had disclosed the subscription cost before collecting all your contact information. It feels a bit like a bait-and-switch. They want $99/year, so now you know before you install it.
Do not pay for this app! I just messaged and requested a cancelation and refund. You actually have to scan each page and wait while it circles to have the PAGE read to you. The advertisement is misleading. I thought it read the book to…
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.

speechify-google-com-cliffweitzman-speechify2Assessed 2026-10-10 from 749 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.
