The store currently lists version 8.6.7, updated 2024-07-01.
What the analysis found
The catch list 1
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.
One source only — shown, not confirmed 1
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
Nostalgia turned into disappointment.. — Found this game again after a few years, I found it in a disgusting mess full of ads and paid songs. So sad to see such a cool game in this state..
too many ads — ads ads ADS i click anything and gotta wait for a brief message from our sponsor and it’s the 3 same ads. do better
1 SMOOLA AFTER COMPLETING A SONG!!?? — And an ad before and after every song im done
Paywall blocks the basics
I only did this because you need to see this — Why did you change everything? Because I am not paying for premium 😭🙏 like the last time I had this everything was free now you have to pay coins? And VIP that's actually crazy because it…
All about the money — I loved this app in highschool. 2013-2014 ish. I redownloaded to enjoy a bit of my childhood again and remembered exactly why I deleted the app. Too many ads. 100s of songs used to be free now you only get like 6…
Don’t Waste Your Time — Like the title says: Don’t waste your time. I originally downloaded this game when I was far younger and had a blast playing songs like Counting Stars and Am I Wrong but eventually stopped playing as I picked up pc…
What this app sells
From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.

These are really on sale; we just can’t tell from the name whether they recur.
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.
