For developers and the curious
The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Open observations that have not cleared the evidence bar.
Misleading advertising: raised by 6 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 84 reviews we read)
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.
The store privacy disclosure (4 entries) links no contact details or identifiers to the user — consistent with an app that does not require an account. Self-reported by the developer.
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The app's own screens offer a way past sign-up — guest access, skipping, or browsing before registering — rather than gating the product behind an account. The store's privacy disclosure is checked alongside it: that disclosure is self-reported, so it corroborates this credit rather than establishing it.
Hard to cancel: raised by 9 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 56 reviews we read)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Cancelling the subscription is blocked, hidden, multi-step, or simply does not take effect.
Nothing was published as a thing to watch for in this assessment. That is not a finding that nothing is wrong with the app.
503 reviews read for this analysis. Each observation keeps the sample and store it was based on.
Deceptive advertising — I enrolled in the Premium plan and paid $47.99 for 1 year. I downloaded the English speech recognition and the Thai version for offline. I tried speech recognition online and office. App says “offline speech…
Nothing like the advertisement video — I am not sure how this app received 4.5 stars, and the app works nothing like the 49 second advertisement with the woman speaking to two Japanese men. It has consistently performed poorly with…
False advertisement — It is not usable unless you pay
Accidentally ordered this app. — I didn’t mean to order this app but cannot cancel the charge. And since I accidentally ordered the app on Sept 18th I should be given the 3 free days you advertise to use the app or cancel it. I was not…
Trial offer a scam — Impossible to cancel subscription during 3-day trial offer. I tried to cancel the subscription on day one once I realized the app does not Romanise Pashto or even pronounce the word . I was willing to pay for this app…
Hard to cancel “trial”” subscription — Downloaded the program to try it out. Forced to choose a subscription after the trial period. Didnt like the program. Thought i had cancelled it, but i just got charged for it anyway and CANNOT FIND…
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.
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.

talk-and-translate-ai-translator-apple-1102728735Assessed 2026-10-27 from 503 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.
From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.
These are really on sale; we just can’t tell from the name whether they recur.
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.
