For developers and the curious
The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Findings that met the published evidence standard.
Bundles 16 distinct ad networks / mediation SDKs: Amazon Publisher Services, AppLovin MAX, BidMachine, Chartboost and 12 more
The package embeds several distinct advertising or mediation SDKs — a stack built for ad volume, not for a single house ad.

sha256:5ae41bc66a403d44a2e6a1af0e9b8c48ef0000793cfedbf0a09376a49bd0b5c3Facts that add context without being a charge.
In-app purchases run from USD 0.99 to USD 29.99 — a 30x spread across 10 items
The disclosed in-app purchases span an unusually wide price range. Published as context: the cheapest and priciest items may be different kinds of product entirely, so the spread alone deducts nothing.
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.
Aggressive ad load: raised by 12 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 52 reviews we read)
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.
Pay to progress: raised by 7 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 78 reviews we read)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Advancement or competition is gated behind spending money rather than playing.

spending the first five minutes, not exaggerating, clicking on close tabs for the 30 different things these clowns want you to buy. it is hard to enjoy a game that one is unable to get to the actual game play. 0/10 will play again. I gave…
this game is boring yes graphics are good but full of adverts to get daily clubs, cash you have to watch about 40 minutes per day then the cost to. buy stuff I'm sure the person who set this game up doesn't realise the cost of living ,you…
great game with too many annoying pop-up ads
Very bad — I used to play while back and it was good but after all new updates they nerved whit ball so much it is unplayable. Game became 100% pay to win now. Unless you ready to spend money on this game don’t waste your time.
Unfortunately very fixed/pay to win. — You’re gonna sit there with absolute piles of coins with nothing to spend it on. You should be able to purchase more items with coins, especially balls. Also, I have seen too many occasions where…
It’s fun but…. — It’s a really fun game even though it’s a pay to win game. You’ll do great as long as you purchase things in the game. You’ll go on short winning streaks until it’s time to purchase something again. If you don’t purchase…

“Not assessed” means we could not measure it. It is never a zero and never a pass.

ultimate-golf-3d-real-coursesAssessed 2026-10-26 from 1,170 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.
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. 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.
