For developers and the curious
The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Findings that met the published evidence standard.
Aggressive ad load: raised by 72 distinct reviewers (12.9% of 556 reviews scanned)
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.
Open observations that have not cleared the evidence bar.
Hard to cancel: raised by 11 distinct reviewers (2.0% of 556 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.
Misleading advertising: raised by 15 distinct reviewers (2.7% of 556 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.
556 reviews read for this analysis. Each observation keeps the sample and store it was based on.
Raised by 72 distinct reviewers — 12.9% of the 556 reviews scanned on this store leg (Google Play).
less than a 1 star. I cant afford to buy subscription, but I don't want to watch more ads than I do stories! I would stay away from this place! I watch a story today 57 or so chapters. Started early this morning and had to watch so many…
I think the only five star reviews are from people giving the review to get the coins. I don't know what it's like if you pay, but if you try and use it for free and just watch ads it's impossible to watch enough consistently to follow a…
fake ads. said free but failed to mention its was free if you watch their ads. and even then you only get 10 ads before its wants money. garbage app sold on lies!.
I didn't subscribe & keeps charging my card, "fleeceware" scam can't unsubscribe
can not cancel the subscription once you sign up no option to do it anywhere and they then constantly try take money if you leave account empty will always take as soon as money hit account
they stole my money as is impossible to cancel
ad for this app was completely false and misleading. the ad simply stated FREE with no ADDS but its not free and if you want to continue watching each episode you either have to pay for the tokens or watch ADDS that they claimed to be…
fake ads. said free but failed to mention its was free if you watch their ads. and even then you only get 10 ads before its wants money. garbage app sold on lies!.
The ads for this app are really misleading. You watch a short part of a drama on TikTok or Instagram, get interested in the story, and the ad makes it seem like you can continue watching without paying or subscribing. Then you download…
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.

Appworthy
stardusttv-google-com-shdj-testAssessed 2026-10-09 from 556 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.
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.
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.
