The catch list 2

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.

Reported by users: Hard to cancel
Reported by 57 usersReported by users, not measured — nothing we can inspect could show this either wayview evidence
Cancelling the subscription is blocked, hidden, multi-step, or simply does not take effect.
What we saw: Raised by 57 distinct reviewers — 11.1% of the 515 reviews scanned on this store leg (App Store).
Reported by users: Reports of unexpected charges
Reported by 49 usersReported by users, not measured — nothing we can inspect could show this either wayview evidence
A large number of reviewers report being charged when they did not expect it — including being charged after cancelling during a free trial, or when a trial turned into a paid plan without warning. We cannot see anyone's billing, so this is published as an attributed user report: what reviewers say, and how many of them said it.
What we saw: Raised by 49 distinct reviewers — 9.5% of the 515 reviews scanned on this store leg (App Store).

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.

Reported by users: Trial converts to a charge
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
The free trial demands a payment method up front and/or rolls into a paid subscription with no usable warning.
What we saw: Trial converts to a charge: raised by 5 distinct reviewers (1.0% of 515 reviews scanned)
Reported by users: Reports that the ads misrepresent the app
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
Reviewers repeatedly report that the app is not what its advertising showed. We never see the ad creative itself, so nothing we collect can corroborate or refute this — it is published as an attributed user report: what reviewers say, and how many of them said it.
What we saw: Misleading advertising: raised by 6 distinct reviewers (1.2% of 515 reviews scanned)

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.

Charge account without authorization after cancellation — Scammer!! Don't use them.. They will keep charging your account after you cancel them.

Trial converts to a charge

Subscription — Never subscribe to their free trial or else they will keep charging you and you can never cancel it. These are scammers so beware. Very stupid website.

Charged me 3 times the amount advertised — I was charged the advertised rate 3 times on the same exact day I signed up for a “free trial”. Tried contacting their “help” email address and haven’t received any reply as of yet. Scam.

They charge you without your authorization subscriptions when you are on a free trial — I won’t ever get a free trail on a subscription

Reports that the ads misrepresent the app

False Advertising — Movie preview more detailed than the actual film on app. I paid expecting to see complete film but only had 10 to 20 episodes per film. No ending. No notice when the next episodes will be out.

1★ · App Store · 2026-09-29

False advertising — Pay for a full subscription and and NONE of the series are complete. It’s a SCAM and a RIPOFF. Other apps have full series and episodes! DramaShorts doesn’t release full movies

Great shorts — Bait and switch scam. You never get free access to whole movie with subscription.

From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.

This list is cut off. Apple shows at most 10 in-app purchases, and this app is at the limit — so it very likely sells more than we can see.

How the automated analysis works

Automated, corroborated, and never human-reviewed without a person.

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.

 Not yet human-reviewed

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.
