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
Great reporting. The app is okay. I'd like to see video load times decreased significantly. I'd like to have more control over auto playing videos. I'd like more control over closing a video (and keeping it closed) as I read an article…
How many adds can you guys force us to watch before the livestream begins on the app? Tonight, it was nine... and I shut it off on the 10th add in a row! I finally just gave up and started watching HGTV.
App itself is great but ad's are far to intrusive and extremely repetitive. No sooner than you dismiss an ad, a new ad reappears in under 5 seconds. I understand that ad's pay the bills, but at the rate which ad's appear, it might be time…
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.
