The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Findings that met the published evidence standard.

sha256:ae693dccd9b2a42817b1946d2d0c5e38a13bfb8955ecc8520e1a103871e4bcebSpecific 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.
Paywall blocks the basics: raised by 5 distinct reviewers (0.7% of 705 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.
Aggressive ad load: raised by 10 distinct reviewers (1.4% of 705 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Advertising volume or placement that interrupts normal use: ads between every action, unskippable or forced full-screen ads.
Misleading advertising: raised by 8 distinct reviewers (1.1% of 705 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.
Pay to progress: raised by 23 distinct reviewers (3.3% of 705 reviews scanned)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Advancement or competition is gated behind spending money rather than playing.
705 reviews read for this analysis. Each observation keeps the sample and store it was based on.
It got better last update so as promised, an extra star. Still P2W heavy but you can have fun with small sums of money. Less essential content is locked behind a massive paywall. Presets for all added another dimension of strategy to the…
Combine the not-so-great aspects of a few genres and you have the Tower. It is tower defense, but with very few meaningful choices. It is an "idle" game that requires near-constant input. It is free, but progress is painfully slow without…
half the time I try to play, the app won't even load and gives me an error. looking at forums this seems to have been a problem for users for years. bunch of stuff locked behind a paywall as well.
too many adds, but overall it's pretty good
these guys made a simple game without forced ads you want a bump in progression take a ad break but you choose when to take ad breaks dont want to all day then dont
loved the game, but for anyone who has money issues. its so easy to spend a dollar here and there, and this game spammed the ads.
This game should be flagged for false advertising, the gameplay is not idle and requires you to babysit your tower and upgrade it with run only upgrades that you'll have to relevel up everytime you start a run, oh and if you want to make…
Nothing like the ads I saw for the game
the game is not an idle game at all. be prepared to obligate 99% of your device time to the game if you want to make it anywhere progression wise. the latest update crippled the free to play player base. The devs absolutely only care…

It's not an idle game, it requires you to have the app running in the foreground to progress. It's severely P2W. At least ads are optional. Progress without purchases takes years and years. later edit: last update bricked the game, can't…
addictive, but pay to win, and the grind is long.

the-tower-google-com-techtreegames-thetowerAssessed 2026-10-17 from 705 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.
