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.
Paywall blocks the basics
Pay walled now (was good) — Before you could get friend requests and accept them. Now you have to pay a subscription in order to add people and talk to them. I do not recommend this anymore. Also if you want a decent app, try Hellotalk or…
Progressively becoming a cash grab. — Update - 12/2023 - While progressively less scammers now, it came at the expense of the app still looking like a cash grab. Many features have been behind a paywall, which I was still even willing to…
Langmate 👎🏻 — This app used to be good letting you have as many friends as long as you had coins and whenever you ran out you had a choice to buy them now you need to pay 19.99 just to speak to anybody once u reach a like 8-10 friends
How a review signal works
A review signal is produced automatically from public app reviews by a classifier — never by a hands-on Appworthy test, and never by a human analyst. It exists so a real, not-yet-audited app can carry more than a blank “Not yet tested” listing, without ever being mistaken for an assessment.
A theme only appears above once at least 5 distinct reviews corroborate it — one angry review can never tag an app. These thresholds are published settings and may be tuned as coverage grows.
It carries no confirmed findings — reviews are one kind of evidence, and nothing here has been hands-on tested. The moment Appworthy publishes a full assessment of this app, it replaces this signal, permanently.
A human review replaces this review-derived signal with hands-on, recorded measurements.
Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
