Positive evidence 1

Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.

Developer says data deletion can be requested
Measuredfrom the store listingview evidence
The developer's data-safety disclosure on the store states that users can request deletion of their data, or the app's own text offers a way to delete the account. This restates what the developer declares; it is not a test of whether deletion works. Apple publishes no equivalent disclosure, so on an Apple-only listing only the app's own text can support it.
What we saw: The developer's store data-safety disclosure states that data deletion can be requested; we have not seen a deletion control in the app's own text

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: Tracking and data collection concerns
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
The app ships session-recording or a wide tracking stack, holds permissions that read personal data, or is reported by users to sell, leak or over-collect it. The evidence line says which of those was observed.

The core of the app — not extras — sits behind payment, or previously-free function moved behind a paywall.

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.

Tracking and data collection concerns

Privacy concerns — Amazon/Ring, why was ‘Search for Lost Pets’ enabled? I turned it off now, but I do NOT agree to Ring accessing my data without my permission. It’s shameful behaviour to think that my data is yours to share.

Ring became a surveillance tool. Deal breaker for me. — Ring cameras deliver decent video quality, but the privacy issues are a deal‑breaker. There have been multiple incidents of hackers gaining access to Ring feeds, and Ring’s ecosystem…

Paywall blocks the basics

Started with Ring in 2023. Have generally lost interest in it after discovering that most of the useful security features are behind a subscription paywall, and a very expensive one for what it is. So, all it is now is a fancy doorbell…

Rip off scam charges for everything — When I purchased this ring camera system in 2019 I was very happy with it. Now everything is behind a paywall because they wanna charge you for everything. I already bought the product and I already…

A joke! — We use to love this thing. Over the years, we have had repurchased the Ring device two or three different times, thinking it was broken or malfunctioning, because it wasn’t allowing us to see what was going on at our door or we…

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.
