What reviewers said
Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.
Trial converts to a charge
Cool app at high cost — The app is cool for basic ATC listing and fun viewing, however a $5 a week subscription is not cool and didn’t have my local airport. Attempted to do a free trial and was immediately charged, so I cancelled. I will…
Be careful not free — I didn’t like this at all, it did not let me go trough w/o the free trial, 7 days free supposedly and then pay for one year… I changed that to pay for one week instead, but when I did that, it de activated the free…
Has only six lives ATC channels available — Charge me the very first day, even though I was on a seven day free trial. If you want the app cheaper request to cancel your subscription during your seven day free trial and they will give it…
Paywall with no way past it
This App IS NOT FREE (Requires Subscription To Use) — The app isn’t actually “free”. It requires a subscription to use, and you have to sign up for it in order to get the 7-day free trial. Yes, I know you can cancel it before it charges…
Need to pay — Can’t use it without paying
Don’t bother downloading if you don’t want to pay $90 to use it — The paywall is ridiculous. ATC stations are public access. Weekly or yearly is all you get. 5.99 a week or $90 for a year. And they do not even have a lot of airports…
What this app sells
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.
How a review signal works
A review signal is produced automatically from public app reviews by a classifier — never by a hands-on Appworthy test, and never by a human analyst. It exists so a real, not-yet-audited app can carry more than a blank “Not yet tested” listing, without ever being mistaken for an assessment.
A theme only appears above once at least 5 distinct reviews corroborate it — one angry review can never tag an app. These thresholds are published settings and may be tuned as coverage grows.
It carries no confirmed findings — reviews are one kind of evidence, and nothing here has been hands-on tested. The moment Appworthy publishes a full assessment of this app, it replaces this signal, permanently.
A human review replaces this review-derived signal with hands-on, recorded measurements.
Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
