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.
Hard to cancel
Unsubscribe — I’m giving this one cause I have tried to unsubscribe for months now I’ve sent them receipts that they’ve asked for and they still refuse to unsubscribe me from my subscription so I have blocked them and that is why they…
Don’t bother — This app is terrible! I thought it was for reading novels not soap operas. I have gone through two ‘books’ that aren’t actually books. Both had over 300 chapters and after approximately 100 chapters, the books start over…
Expensive, Misleading, and Poorly Edited — I gave this app a fair chance because I enjoy reading, but it quickly became one of the most expensive and frustrating reading experiences I’ve had. The business model encourages stories to be…
Aggressive ad load
The Runaway Wife Hiding the Secret Triplets — This started out as a good story and then got so stinking ridiculous in constant conflicts. You know she’ll end up with the stupid husband who can never stop accusing her of wrong when no one…
Full of ads — This is the worst app of this kind I have ever used. You watch multiple ads to read multiple chapters, and not only do they lie about that, but they also add an ad before the chapter's last page. While the story may be okay…
Too many ads — You must watch to many ads for short chapters. It is not worth to read on this app. There are other apps with less ads. On top of that you watch an ad to read your chapter and random ads pop up before you can even complete…
Misleading advertising
False Book Ads — We see an ad for a book. We are led to the app but the book is not there. Search it and it is not there. Bait and switch. Not the only book app that does this.
STOP FALSE ADVERTISING — Do not download this app. The story you'll get in the ad will make no sense from what is actually there. They just throw terms around without any relation to the story, no character outline must be kept as the…
Bait and switch — Unfortunately, while the story is engaging, the return for time invested changes as you get further into the story. One ad would get a few pages initially. Then 2 ads for the same few pages . Then 2 ads would…
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.
