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 34 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 34 distinct reviewers — 5.7% of the 594 reviews scanned on this store leg (App Store).
Reported by users: Reports of unexpected charges
Reported by 34 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 34 distinct reviewers — 5.7% of the 594 reviews scanned on this store leg (App Store).

Positive evidence 1

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 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: 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 16 distinct reviewers (2.3% of 687 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 22 distinct reviewers (3.7% of 594 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.

Hard to cancel

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE!! One you do you will have to jump through hoops to cancel. There is no way to cancel through the app.

1★ · Google Play · 2026-09-07

The only reason that I am giving this app 2 stars is because the stories are not too bad. But the price to buy coins and bonuses to watch the episodes are ridiculous and the amount of currency you need to watch an episode is outrageous. I…

2★ · Google Play · 2026-08-27

Hard to cancel subscription. Avoid this app.

1★ · Google Play · 2026-09-29

Reports of unexpected charges

stories repeated with different graphics over and over but no finished titles and series go months without updates. hidden charges you can't stop and they won't refund. Ai customer service that doesn't respond or fix anything.

1★ · Google Play · 2026-09-20

They are behaving like scammers! Nothing is clear and visible especially they hidden subscription rules. Don't purchase any coins on their app or you will end up with a subscription. They took out ANOTHER $14.99 from my bank account 4…

1★ · Google Play · 2026-09-17

don't subscribe they make it very difficult to cancel they keep charging you and then they keep giving you directions that doesn't exist and then they keep charging you and then you have to keep trying to figure out how to get them to…

Aggressive ad load

the app sucks, honestly. it gives a way to earn coins but then when you try to it's just a never-ending succession of ads after ads after ads and you never get any coins for what you've spent 15 minutes looking at. quite honestly I'm…

1★ · Google Play · 2026-08-27

too much ads to get to watch episodes

5★ · Google Play · 2026-09-06

have to open too many ads to just watch 1 episode, so takes long to finish the series. pathetic. better options with faster access on other apps.

1★ · Google Play · 2026-09-26

Reports that the ads misrepresent the app

Downloaded because of an advert and the 18+ had me intrigued. when I downloaded it however the scenes it showed were cropped and pixelated. Why would I want to see that? Basically false advertisements and stealing money

1★ · Google Play · 2026-09-29

Ads said watch all episodes free, watched about 30 seconds of episode 11 and it required payment to continue watching. Good storyline, but FALSE ADVERTISING

1★ · Google Play · 2026-09-22

Don't believe their fake ad of getting movies free for one day. They lied! I hate false Advertisement companies in reporting them

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.
