What the analysis found
Positive evidence 1
Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.
One source only — shown, not confirmed 3
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.
Trial converts to a charge
I signed up for a free trial and was charged NZ$151.99 for an annual subscription about a week later. When I asked for a refund, I was repeatedly bounced between Headway and Google Play, with both telling me to contact the other. It took…
I wanted to try the app out to see if it's for me. I knew I couldn't commit to paying a full year right up front. I immediately canceled the free trial to avoid a charge, so I could go back to review the other options available. Today's…
scam. it says you get a free trial but instantly charges you. I am disputing this with my bank and reporting them from fraudulence to Google play
Hard to cancel
Biggest waste of money. It is impossible to cancel and they keep charging even well after cancellation. How this is legal is beyond me. STAY AWAY AT ALL COST
It's pretty hard to cancel. The content is fine but it's not cheap and they don't use Google play subscription so you easily forget it's a thing. I think it scammy when apps don't just use the Google play store subscriptions because I…
stole money from my bank account! clicked a 3 day free trial to see if I liked it. the app went ahead and took £9.99 off my card ! can't cancel on the app so have requested refund off Google. app is rubbish...robotic voice narration that…
Reports of unexpected charges
I signed up for Headway’s $24.99 monthly subscription, then received another unexpected charge of $53 after trying to cancel. In total, I paid $78 for less than one month of access. I later found out I somehow had two subscriptions…
I signed up for this app on the website after seeing an ad on social media, not realising all it does is summarise books. When I subscribed, it offered me an add on subscription for an infographic package. I clicked on it to find out what…

How the automated analysis works
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.
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.
