What’s the catch? Aggressive ad load — reported by 48 users.
Analyzed automatically from 3 independent signals that had to agree — not a hands-on test, and not human-reviewed.
This analysis describes version 12.17.0 of the app, analyzed 2026-10-04 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 12.17.0, updated 2026-08-17.
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 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.
Aggressive ad load
SO MANY ADS!! — I have never in my life left a review for an app, but I am just so frustrated with this freaking app. I had to say something. The features within the app are good but just know after literally everything you do an add that…
charged for free trial — attempted to use non-pro version of app, nothing worked/was bombarded with ads. decided to try the free trial, thought it would help. i was immediately charged $72 and the app still isn't working.
Can’t use it offline anymore. Full of ads — Use this app’s photo collage feature. In earlier versions it allows you to use offline if you have the templates downloaded. Not anymore now. You are forced to turn on the internet and watch ads…
Trial converts to a charge

Scam — They don’t give you a free trial they automatically charge you do not get this app
Worst app EVER — Didn’t let me cancel a subscription that they said was a free trial, charged my card $60 and I can’t find any way to get rid of it. Biggest waste of money ever, the AI photo retouch isn’t even that good.
Paywall blocks the basics
Used to like it — It’s horrible now. You have to pay for everything. Going to delete
Great app, became too expensive — Used this app for editing for years, it always had so many great features - but now almost everything useful is behind a paywall and the price keeps skyrocketing. It's way too expensive for what it is…
Way too many commercials — The free version is pretty much unusable. Need to watch two minutes commercials to get anything done.
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.
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.
