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

Relaxing but far too many ads — Matching stickers and finishing the picture is great. Problem is that they make you take an add break every two minutes or so and you can’t get past them. It will make you play other apps and give you no…

Too many ads — Too many ads, expensive and slow

3★ · App Store · 2026-09-01

Why would you make us pay? — $9.99 just to remove pop-up ads why couldn’t that be cheaper? Why couldn’t it be like $2.99 oh because your money hungry that’s why

Misleading advertising

Not as advertised — I saw a advertisement for this game stating no ads and there is alot of ads. I am tired of false advertisement. I want to play and relax this is stressful

sick of false advertising — the game is no doubt fun but i’ll be deleting it. I understand that developers need to make apps paid or have ads bc they need to make money too but this is honestly obnoxious. the amount they want you to…

Bait and Switch Game — It’s not at all how the “trailer” of the game was advertised. Disappointed

Energy / timer gating

Energy refill — The energy is no longer refilling if you close the game and come back later.

Super disappointed — I was playing this game daily for weeks and I was separated from my iPad for two weeks. I come back, I start the game up and after two weeks I only have three energy? I deleted the game afterwards because I was so…

Waste of time — This has got to be the stupidest game invented. You have to merge 8 items to get a sticker. Most events had ~20-25 stickers. It takes one unit of energy to drop an item. So you’re looking at 150-200 units to complete a…

 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.

This list is cut off. Apple shows at most 10 in-app purchases, and this app is at the limit — so it very likely sells more than we can see.

How a review signal works

Automated, review-derived, and always superseded by a human review.

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.

 Not yet human-reviewed

A human review replaces this review-derived signal with hands-on, recorded measurements.

Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
