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.
This analysis describes version 1.24.2.10 of the app (the version number recorded inside the package we inspected), analyzed 2026-10-06 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 1.24.2.10, updated 2026-09-21.
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.
Positive evidence 1
Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.
One source only — shown, not confirmed 2
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.
Aggressive ad load
Ads, ads, ads and some more ads. That's what you will get after the initial few ad-free levels that are there just to lure you in. You will get an ad after every single level. And not the quick 10 second ones. Ooooh nooo! The ones that…
The game was super fun but then the level became impossible to complete unless you paid money to get more coins in order to upgrade fast enough. If I just went with the ads I was only able to play one round a day because I had to watch so…
⭐ (1/5): Not fun, and way too many ads The game just isn't enjoyable. The gameplay is boring and repetitive, and the controls don't work properly. On top of that, there are far too many ads: one after every level, and sometimes even in…
Pay to progress
PAY TO PLAY. Do not pay to remove ads. You'll no longer be able to watch ads for coins. Upgrades are VERY expensive. I'm on level 100 and already had to purchase coins 2x. You can't go back and play old restaurants for coins. There is NO…
Money grab, don't bother. Cannot progress without paying. You earn too little coin each level to be able to upgrade your equipment and then, when a hard level comes, you cannot beat it and are stuck there, needing to purchase coins to…
It's a pay to win game. I paid my no.ads game, and I feel like I'm not satisfied with the no ads buy...
Reports that the ads misrepresent the app
Says 'Indian cooking' opens to 'royal cooking' what a false advertising stupidity eww
What this app sells
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.
