“This app sucks — Unhappy with this supposedly happy app, I signed up and like other customers cancelled and I’m still getting charged for this app. With this economy that really is shameful. Thieves!”

Independent evidence report
Evidence and review signals
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.
What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.
Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.

Themes reported by reviewers
No 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
Under 65% 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.

Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.
“Also had a billing fraud — I purchased a subscription with a trial and I was charged TWICE for it. One for a year and one for a monthly fee. I emailed support, and I’m clearly speaking to AI because they keep telling me I bought two…”
“Scam, don’t waste your money — First they promise you a free trial. Then they upsell you to get real content. Then they upsell you again to get anything worthwhile. Total scam, don’t waste your money.”
