What’s the catch? Price may differ from what you see here — 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.

What the analysis found
The catch list 2
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.
Context 1
Measured and published because a reader would want to know — deliberately not a charge. The measurement alone does not show a harm.
Positive evidence 1
Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.
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.
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.
Hard to cancel
I'm trying to cancel, and it's been an absolute nightmare. Still haven't been able to find it. Uninstalling. the app does not cancel your subscription. Trying to find out where to uninstall just gives you the runaround.
BE WARNED!!! — I signed up for a subscription with this company outside of the App Store. If you do it that way, you can’t cancel your subscription without speaking to someone in the company about WHY you want to cancel first and the…
Repeated charges, no way to cancel — Still getting charged after trying to contact to cancel multiple times. Stay far away.
Trial converts to a charge
Fraud — This situation is ridiculous. 1 year ago, I tried the free trial and forgot to cancel it before I was billed. That’s fine. I figured I would make the most out of it even though this app is NOTHING like the ads. I ended up barely…
The “7 day free trial” charges $119.99 on day one — There is no free trial. I tapped the advertised 7 day free trial and was billed $119.99 for a full year in the same moment. No trial ever started. Praktika's own terms say a user who…
Scam — Please watch out! I got an ad for this on insta and thought i would try it. Its so buggy not like the ad at all and worst part is i signed up for the week free trial and they INSTANTLY charged me for a years subscription despite…
Reports that the ads misrepresent the app
Definitely needs major improvements, but it is a decent idea. The advertisement was a bit misleading — The app itself is pretty decent, but the speech recognition is frustrating. When I speak a full sentence, it usually understands me…
slow and buggy — basically not usable, and their ads left out the insane latency at every exchange. very dishonest advertising.
Completely Broken for Chinese. False Advertising. — This app is a scam for Chinese learners. The trial was structured and helpful 😀. The moment I paid, it became unusable🤔. It goes from teaching you “hello” to demanding you read and…
Reports of unexpected charges
They stole my money. I canceled my subscription months ago and they still charged me. Over $100 stolen. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
Yeah, they kinda stole my money so that sucks. Also, the app is not like the ad. Interacting with a real human just cannot be replaced. Forget this A.I. business.
Unfair and I feel like I got scammed — Only used this app twice and was still charged over $140. I signed up for this app and agreed to a first initial charge of $44 for a year. I had no idea they were going to charge me again $99 a year…
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.
Show 3 more purchases we couldn’t categorise
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.
