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.
Positive evidence 1
Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.
One source only — shown, not confirmed 6
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.
Paywall blocks the basics
I subscribed about two years ago , because the moon calendar was easy to follow. the daily to dos and what not to do was simple. Ekadashi days had different symbols on the calendar making it easy to separate what days were what. now the…
This App used to be great, then they got greedy. Most stuff is now stuck behind an extortionate paywall and the new layout is confusing, with awful AI looking graphics/animation which causes it to be very laggy. It's hard to navigate and…
I originally downloaded this app to help me keep track of the moon cycles. After the most recent update, it seems the Moonly app is now prioritizing its premium users. You used to be able to open the app with the moon cycles right at the…
Trial converts to a charge
Lied About Free Trial — This app literally lied to me about a one week free trial and charged my card $30 immediately. I can’t even get a refund. I tried going through Apple but they denied it. So unless you wanna be forced to do a “free…
Paywall with no way past it
No trial period — The app looks really interesting but I don’t like being unable to try it out. You can’t actually use ANY features of the app until you get a subscription, and the options are weekly @ $7, annual at $35ish (can’t recall)…
Can’t use without paying. — Don’t bother downloading
Over charge — You cant even see you sun sign without paying. Honestly a scam because i already know but wanted to see what they would show due to the amount of ads they force down my throat. You are being charged for EVERY. SINGLE. THING.
Hard to cancel
Charges a lot to begin with and won't let you find anything else out without charging more. Ridiculously difficult to cancel.
I cannot log back in, however I'm still subscribed and cannot cancel payments.
Unable to cancel — They charge so often and I can’t find the app in my subscriptions to cancel
Reports that the ads misrepresent the app
not what is advertised
Scam! Don’t do it — Bait and switch you get a chart and a gimmicky tarot deck and some meditations then they try to charge 19.99 for every thing else each thing do t do it and especially do not pay off the AppStore site then you can never…
Waste of time-bait and switch — I was hoping this would at least tell me the moon phases for free, but it's not even usable without paying...I couldn't even get past the initial app set up without paying. That kind of thing should be made…
States a price, or offers a one-time purchase
Questionable subscription pricing — I don’t understand the purpose of a one-time payment of $50 for all the benefits and then piling on additional costs for key features of the app- like asking questions (after 10, you have to pay)…
Not a fan of the updates — I’ve been using this app with full access for years, and while I’ve always been a big fan, I find myself using it less and less with all the latest updates. My daily usage of the app is now I primarily for the…
Paid for a subscription but don’t have full access — I like the app so far. I paid for Moonly plus; the yearly subscription. The only thing I can say that I don’t like currently is that I paid for a yearly subscription but I still don’t…
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.
