Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.

Developer says data deletion can be requested
Measuredfrom the store listingview evidence
The developer's data-safety disclosure on the store states that users can request deletion of their data, or the app's own text offers a way to delete the account. This restates what the developer declares; it is not a test of whether deletion works. Apple publishes no equivalent disclosure, so on an Apple-only listing only the app's own text can support it.
What we saw: The developer's store data-safety disclosure states that data deletion can be requested; we have not seen a deletion control in the app's own text

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.

Reported by users: Paywall blocks the basics
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
The core of the app — not extras — sits behind payment, or previously-free function moved behind a paywall.
What we saw: Paywall blocks the basics: raised by 7 distinct reviewers (1.4% of 491 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 14 distinct reviewers (2.9% of 491 reviews scanned)
Reported by users: Aggressive ad load
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
Advertising volume or placement that interrupts normal use: ads between every action, unskippable or forced full-screen ads.
What we saw: Aggressive ad load: raised by 25 distinct reviewers (5.1% of 491 reviews scanned)
Reported by users: Pay to progress
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
Advancement or competition is gated behind spending money rather than playing.
What we saw: Pay to progress: raised by 12 distinct reviewers (2.4% of 491 reviews scanned)

Paywall blocks the basics

Everything was great until the recent update. I actually enjoyed this game so much that I even spent money on it. Then came the update and the developers decided that breathing without paying should be the next premium feature. Almost…

game was originally a nice time killer but now most of the things that was free like auto exploration and 2x speed are locked behind a monthly pay wall! how is this fair to people that played before, yes the auto exploration can be…

Played daily but will likely stop soon do to them removing features and selling back those quality of life upgrades back behind subscription paywall. You can no longer auto craft, auto explore, or do 2x battle speed without subscription…

Reports that the ads misrepresent the app

Fun game but the ads are for completely different games. 1 star for any game that uses misleading ads.

Game is not what was advertised, absolutely nothing like it, there used to be laws against this kind of thing you should be sued, absolutely sick of seeing this! I just want to download a game that is actually the gameplay that was in the…

not the game in the pictures describing the game false advertising will get you sued.

Aggressive ad load

I am really enjoying the game except one big thing. When I use an ad to get anything, it gets to the part where it says my reward has been given, I can't get out of the dang ads. Don't Put a Button saying Reward Given if I Can't Press it…

its a simple game that lies in all the ads for it...also its full of ads....stop lying 1 star for dishonest publishers. also how is this game a 4.6? 90% of reviews are 3 star or less....

1★ · Google Play · 2026-05-26

Fun until it turns into non stop ad fest. it quickly becomes unplayable without watching ads every other minute. super annoying. Would have been happy to pay for an ad free option.

Pay to progress

you can play this game for free but to progress further you need to pay real money, but you have a chance of event games to move the game faster even though you try to complete the event game by watching ads they also limited the ads…

was fun for the first 3 levels then became repetitive. has potential but many notifications you cant get rid of unless you purchase something or watch ads. you can play this game without paying, but ALOT of features will be unavailable to…

Uninspired Tripe. This model of game even as a pay-to-win has a lot of potential but the inconsistency of in-game currency utility coupled with baseline features locked entirely behind paywalls is just embarrassing. 3 main hubs with gold…

How the automated analysis works

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

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.

 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.
