What the analysis found
Positive evidence 1
Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.
One source only — shown, not confirmed 2
A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.
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.
Paywall blocks the basics
Truly greedy corporation. You now need Befriend+ to even unlock all friend requests. This app was already the worst of them in terms of ads (literally 2 pop up ads every couple of sent messages), but to put friend requests behind a…
If it wasn't annoying enough that you get added by bots, no you now even put the requests behind a paywall so you cant even check anymore if you were added by a bot or not. I get it, you wanna earn money but holy smokes this isnt a dating…
I can no longer redeem free daily rewards and now viewing who likes you is locked behind befriend+. Enshitification has finally hit befriend, just like every app in this genre has and will eventually. Don't bother paying to see who likes…
Aggressive ad load
Truly greedy corporation. You now need Befriend+ to even unlock all friend requests. This app was already the worst of them in terms of ads (literally 2 pop up ads every couple of sent messages), but to put friend requests behind a…
honestly at first this app was amazing, cool people an decent platform, but now? its gotten so much worse, constant ads, now minute long ads when it use to be 30 secs or less, and now the requests you use to be able to see them an accept…
This app has a lot of ads and you have to subscribe to accept someone's request. 💢

How the automated analysis works
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.
Several measurements above say “Not assessed” because no artefact we hold can answer them. A human review is what resolves those — and it can remove a favourable band as easily as add one.
Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
