What’s the catch? Reports that the ads misrepresent the app — reported by 28 users.
Analyzed automatically from 3 independent signals that had to agree — not a hands-on test, and not human-reviewed.

The store currently lists version 4.18.0, updated 2026-07-01.
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.
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.
Reports that the ads misrepresent the app
TOTAL BAIT AND SWITCH. DO NOT USE THEY TRU TO CHARGE YOU $20 OVER AND OVER. — Total scam. The app is bad enough, so basic and nothing compared to other apps out there for the same price. Then they sneakily try to try and charge $20 a…
Dancing — This does NOT animate photos for dancing. Only face animation. I have been using it for a few months, but still NO dancing/ False advertisement I, will be cancelling my subscription and get a refund for my entire year
Misleading advertising — Not happy with this.
Hard to cancel
Cannot Unsubscribe — I’ve have tried repeatedly to unsubscribe from 2 different Revive Apps. I’m not even sure how I signed up for 2; $19.99 and $12.99 If anyone can help me I’d appreciate it. I’ve had to block all debits against the…
Impossible to Cancel — Another fraud to get your credit card and continue paying for what was supposed to be a seven day free trial. Do t get caught!
Costly and can’t Cancel — I downloaded the app and took a look at it and then deleted it from my iPhone. The information that you have to supply gives your credit card information and you will quickly be billed in my case $19.99 every…
Reports of unexpected charges
Rip off- Beware- $100 before you get your credit card bill! — $19.99 a week charge and not at all what the video looked like that sucked me in! Be careful- they refuse to refund anything!
They keep charging me after i canceled and deleted the app — Scam don't buy
Fraudulent Charges — This company continues to add charges to my account after cancellation was made during the free trial. Beware of unauthorized charges on your account. After 2 months of cancellation, I’m still waiting to get these…
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.
