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.
Aggressive ad load
Won’t work when offline — The app has so many ad trackers that it won’t work unless you’re online and not blocking the trackers (Facebook, TikTok, google, a number of less well known). Using a DNS layer one can see it’s trying to reach…
Great app until this update — UPDATE: Issue with the ad has been resolved, app works great again. Thank you for the quick response! ORIGINAL: This has been a fantastic app and my main camera tool until the latest update. Now every…
Now it’s all ads. Deleted and disappointed — I have used Camera + since my first iPhone 6. Now I have to watch a stupid ad before I can save or share a photo. Deleted!
Paywall blocks the basics
Locked behind subscription — Can you PLEASE make this app free? I just loved it before for being free but now I don’t like it due to its non-inclusion of freemium or just making the app free.
Camera Minus — Enjoyed this app for years and was worth paying for it. Now the features are locked behind a subscription, got no access for what I initially paid for and I feel gyped. Update: Dev contacted me with a very stock answer…
Ridiculous weekly subscription fee — UPDATE: This is in response to App developer. The need to change pricing model to an exorbitant weekly subscription is not the way to keep existing longstanding customers who have already paid happy…
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.
