What’s the catch? Multiple ad networks bundled — measured, backed by SDKs in the app package.
Analyzed automatically from 6 independent signals that had to agree — not a hands-on test, and not human-reviewed.
App Store
This analysis describes version 1.26.0 of the app, analyzed 2026-10-06 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 1.26.0, updated 2026-09-28.
Google Play
This analysis describes version 1.25.2 of the app (the version number recorded inside the package we inspected), analyzed 2026-10-05 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 1.26.1, updated 2026-09-28.
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 5
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.
Pay to progress
L p2w — I bought expansion packs, but never got them for those who are reading don’t buy this game on mobile pc is better unless u want to have a terrible experience.
Garbage — Absolute waste of time, P2W garbage. Scenarios are near impossible on “Normal” difficulty and to add on top of that, no matter what difficulty you play on, the cure will always be 30% or more complete by the time any ship…
Horrible gameplay P2W — This game is insanely hard and getting to the final diseases is impossible. It makes the game here purposely to make you spend more money on upgrades, if you don’t have them you can’t win
Paywall blocks the basics
My account?? — Love this game, I’ve been playing since 2017. Spent money on all the packs. Full game unlocked. Came back for 2026 update and now it’s expecting me to pay again? I’ve supported this game for so long, crazy all my outbreak…
Everything is locked up — I mean i already paid to get the game but now its asking for more money to play the full game.
Why so stingy — I remember playing this when I was a kid. Now everything is behind a paywall?? Like the game itself is ¢.99, the upgrade being $7.99 is just so insane 😭
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. Six independent signals are read — user reviews, SDKs in the app package, the app's own on-screen text, the app manifest, 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.
