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
Money Scam! — I saw this app on an ad, so I downloaded it. I open the app to listen to a story and EVERY SINGLE book I tried is behind a paywall! Based on the reviews, I wasn’t going to try the free trial and then be charged. There should…
DO NOT DOWLOAD THIS APP — This app lied and said it had 7 day free trial, I cancelled Day 1 and it still charged my card even after it was cancelled. They are refusing to refund me and they charged my card for the highest package they…
SCAM DO NOT SUBSCRIBE YOU CANNOT CANCEL — I wanted to see the content and signed up for a free trial. I immediately recognized that it was not for me, so I attempted t cancel the free trial before being charged for a subscription, and…
Hard to cancel
Unable to cancel via glitch with app support — I initially signed up via website, and the app was so glitchy it was unusable. I moved over to a trial on the app and then was charged for a full year because the app never registered that I…
I like the app, but couldn’t cancel when I wanted to. — I decided to try the seven day trial and while I did like the app, I didn’t find that I was using it as much as I thought I would. A few days before the trial was over, I tried to…

Paywall blocks the basics
Don’t waste your time — You have to pay to even listen to any book or story. I used my free trial years ago and downloaded again to see if there was any free books. Nope not all at. At least try to make it pleasing for people who don’t…

Pay for EVERYTHING — I was excited to try this app bc of the ad I seen and I was like why not try it? But once I downloaded it and got an account I have to pay for anything I listen or read. I don’t think I should have to pay to listen to…
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.
