What the analysis found
The catch list 1
Charges we publish at a strength we stand behind: measured from an artefact, agreed by independent sources, or reported by enough users to clear that charge's own published bar.
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.
Aggressive ad load
too much ads in a paid app!
The shows and movies on the app is great, as expected but the constant ads are annoying. I do know there are supposed to be ads but it honestly feels like the ads are every minute, starting to consider deleting my account and app…
Unsatisfied is an understatement. Paying for a streaming service used to mean an ad-free experience, but now we're literally paying monthly subscription fees just to watch continuous commercials. Trying to stream The X-Files on Hulu…
Hard to cancel
I canceled my subscription and they still build me, and when I tried to go back to cancel it again the same day they billed me you have to jump through hoops to cancel it. and unlike other companies where if you cancel it day of they give…
Once you subscribe and enter your card details, it feels almost impossible to cancel. Honestly even a shady app wouldn’t make it this difficult to unsubscribe.
cancelling the subscription seems impossible
Price keeps rising
It no longer allows you to login to your TV. Now you have to login and Chromecast which doesn't help if my phone is dead and I want to watch TV. They've just increased the price only to make it harder for us to use. I should be able to…
Fix your apps! AND the website! Everywhere, any device my acct is stuck at just plain [HD], no 4K, no Dolby, etc! Cannot even login to the one site needed to Chat with a real person (the D+ Help Center) as their login is borked (all other…
it's sad how greedy they are. I only got it because I pay $4.51 with taxes a month. they raised the price that even if i get it at a discount won't make it worthwhile. I've had issues after issues with this service, some of the features…
How the automated analysis works
This assessment is produced automatically. Six independent signals are read — user reviews, SDKs in the app package, the app's own on-screen text, the app manifest, 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.
