Analyzed automatically. Assessed 2026-10-05 from 500 user reviews. We have not scanned the app's package, so nothing on this page was read from inside the app itself.
This analysis describes version 9.26.1 of the app, analyzed 2026-10-05 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 9.26.1, updated 2026-09-17.
What the analysis found
One source only — shown, not confirmed 4
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
Shameless Greedy — One of the worst shows worst management and app possible . While you are trying to manage profile after paying subscription . They keep on pushing ad for subscription. Every 3 second ad comes in to subscribe. Gaana…
Too Many Ads Ruin the Music Experience — I downloaded the Gaana app hoping to enjoy its large collection of songs from different genres and languages. However, I was very disappointed by the excessive and annoying ads that interrupted…
Awful — One of the worst app experience I have had in a long time. Constant ads every 2 seconds in the middle of a song. They took spotify idea and made it egregious. Don’t bother using it unless you want to pay money which they will…
Hard to cancel
Literally impossible to cancel — There’s really no need for this app if you have Spotify- and it’s such a process to cancel. The chat bot is slow, their email comes from a no reply and their FAQ’s don’t address what to do if the “cancel…
Worst app ever — No way to cancel subscription
Worst App — The worst app with no way to cancel the subscription
Paywall blocks the basics
Terrible app now — This app was working great for few months. This recent updates and changes have made the app crash many time, either the app will exit it self and close or app will be open but will stop playing music. Also the free…
Deleted the app — I used to love the app because it used to be free now for basic collections they have now they made it premium and forcing users subscribe and Pay heck no…
paid app — if i have to pay to listen then make the app paid app why are you including in app purchases and forcing people
Upgrade prompts use guilt-trip wording
Shameless Greedy — One of the worst shows worst management and app possible . While you are trying to manage profile after paying subscription . They keep on pushing ad for subscription. Every 3 second ad comes in to subscribe. Gaana…
Not a free app — Unless you are prepared to pay $10 a month don’t bother downloading the app. They will constantly ask you to subscribe.
Unable to access content with upgrade — You guys kept on prompting for an upgrade and even though I did, it still kept on throwing the same message to upgrade ! Pathetic user experience
How the automated analysis works
This assessment is produced automatically. One independent signal is read — user reviews — and each candidate finding is filed under the source that supports 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.
