What the analysis found

Each finding shows what agreed and how strongly. Automated analysis

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.

Reported by users: Reports of unexpected charges
Reported by 32 usersReported by users, not measured — nothing we can inspect could show this either wayview evidence
A large number of reviewers report being charged when they did not expect it — including being charged after cancelling during a free trial, or when a trial turned into a paid plan without warning. We cannot see anyone's billing, so this is published as an attributed user report: what reviewers say, and how many of them said it.
What we saw: Raised by 32 distinct reviewers — 6.2% of the 517 reviews scanned on this store leg (App Store).

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.

Reported by users: Trial converts to a charge
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
The free trial demands a payment method up front and/or rolls into a paid subscription with no usable warning.
What we saw: Trial converts to a charge: raised by 17 distinct reviewers (3.3% of 517 reviews scanned)
Reported by users: Reports that the ads misrepresent the app
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
Reviewers repeatedly report that the app is not what its advertising showed. We never see the ad creative itself, so nothing we collect can corroborate or refute this — it is published as an attributed user report: what reviewers say, and how many of them said it.
What we saw: Misleading advertising: raised by 11 distinct reviewers (2.1% of 517 reviews scanned)
Reported by users: Paywall blocks the basics
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
The core of the app — not extras — sits behind payment, or previously-free function moved behind a paywall.
What we saw: Paywall blocks the basics: raised by 12 distinct reviewers (2.3% of 517 reviews scanned)

Reports of unexpected charges

Terrible — I spent $3 to buy tokens to try and make a funny meme and after 5 minutes, it made a completely different video and the prompt I typed up was gone. Didn’t refund my tokens and the $3 is gone. WASTE. Stupid app

Still got charged after canceling trial — I was still charged for a subscription despite canceling it.

1★ · App Store · 2026-06-16

Fraud charge — Canceled free trail one hour after downloading. It shows canceled under subscriptions. This app still continues to charge me. Not cool.

Trial converts to a charge

Fraudulent — I was charged after being promised a 3 day free trial and then to top it off I didn’t even have the “credits” to make the video I wanted to make unless I purchased them!!

Junk — Free trial charges you immediately and then they want you to pay again to make any meme Scam

1★ · App Store · 2026-02-22

Scam App — No matter what you do they charge you for a week, even though they say you get a three day free trial they charge you for a week and you cannot get away from it. BEWARE

Reports that the ads misrepresent the app

Bait and Switch — The ads show that you can make AI videos, but even with a subscription you still have to pay for coins to be able to make the videos. Each video you want to make costs $3usd worth of coins to make. Not worth the money…

1★ · App Store · 2026-09-16

Bait and Switch — Be prepared to pay extra once you’ve already paid for the app.

1★ · App Store · 2026-03-15

Bait and switch — Ok so I spent $40 to have this for a year. Little did I know that in order to get the good stuff, it’s another $100 per year. This was not disclosed when I made the first purchase. Unscrupulous business practice. Just…

2★ · App Store · 2026-03-12

Paywall blocks the basics

Junk. Scam. — Used to be cool. Now you have to pay a subscription to be allowed to buy videos??? It’s a scam and a ripoff

1★ · App Store · 2026-09-03

Putting photo makes behind a paywall — Use to like this app and used it to make memes for free but you guys recently put it behind a subscription smh

1★ · App Store · 2026-08-28

Thieves — I canceled free trial I put a payment on my iPhone and this took 43$ off my card and refuses to refund me I didn’t want to pay for an app that I have to pay for everything in it still

How the automated analysis works

Automated, corroborated, and never human-reviewed without a person.

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.

 Not yet human-reviewed

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.
