For developers and the curious
The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Findings that met the published evidence standard.
Bundles 3 distinct ad networks / mediation SDKs: AppLovin MAX, Google Mobile Ads (AdMob / Ad Manager), Meta Audience Network
The package embeds several distinct advertising or mediation SDKs — a stack built for ad volume, not for a single house ad.

sha256:ab9f6ff7a19e2034a3c5d522cbec353cd4f6aeaa0d3093acb9eaabfa832177c0Paywall is server-configured and A/B tested via RevenueCat Paywalls — the offer shown can differ per user
The app ships a remote paywall-experimentation SDK, so the offer shown is configured server-side and may differ per user — including from anything we or a reviewer saw.

sha256:ab9f6ff7a19e2034a3c5d522cbec353cd4f6aeaa0d3093acb9eaabfa832177c0Specific evidence of a useful property, within the stated scope.
Offers a one-time or lifetime purchase: "One time purchase"
The app's own text offers a one-time or lifetime purchase, or reviewers report that the price is stated clearly.

sha256:ab9f6ff7a19e2034a3c5d522cbec353cd4f6aeaa0d3093acb9eaabfa832177c0The 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 7 distinct reviewers (1.6% of 436 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.
Cancellation copy routes the user away from a direct control: "Before you cancel, please consider accepting this offer"
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
Cancelling the subscription is blocked, hidden, multi-step, or simply does not take effect.

7/2026 - Full screen ad at startup has got to go.
-even as 'insider' you get lots of ads -don't go to v5 (confusing layout, designed by drunken game designer) -functions lost or well hidden -too many cookies
Awesome app for tracking beers and finding venues, they do bombard you with ads but they aren't obnoxious ads, just a lot of things you have to move out of the way to get to the great app beneath
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.

untappd-google-com-untappdllc-appAssessed 2026-10-15 from 436 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.
