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 4

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: Reports of unexpected charges
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
A large number of reviewers report being charged when they did not expect it — including being charged after cancelling during a free trial, or when a trial turned into a paid plan without warning. We cannot see anyone's billing, so this is published as an attributed user report: what reviewers say, and how many of them said it.
What we saw: Surprise charges: raised by 21 distinct reviewers (2.0% of 1036 reviews scanned)
Reported by users: Reports that the ads misrepresent the app
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
Reviewers repeatedly report that the app is not what its advertising showed. We never see the ad creative itself, so nothing we collect can corroborate or refute this — it is published as an attributed user report: what reviewers say, and how many of them said it.
What we saw: Misleading advertising: raised by 13 distinct reviewers (1.3% of 1036 reviews scanned)

Reports of unexpected charges

SCAM, can't cancel subscription, can't delete your information. CALL YOUR BANK!

I felt scammed, paid for 2 weeks subscription, to try it but I could only watch half the serie in 2 days then only allowed me to watch 1 new episode a day

Reports that the ads misrepresent the app

Love the storylines I've watched so far, but don't appreciate the misleading advertising. If I paid for a vip subscription, I should be able to watch the full series, not be limited to one new episode per day. That's BS. Hate that I won't…

false advertisement. I got further on a show last time I had this app the trailer park to mention it showed that it had been completed. I have been waiting months for. so I paid for it so I can watch it. and when I was watching it it…

VERY DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING!!! I was under the impression my payment was for full "unlimited" access NOT limited viewing with the option to purchase additional viewing! Your company should be ashamed of themselves. I will definitely let my…

Aggressive ad load

This app could be better. once you've reached 7 ads, you have to wait till the following day to continue watching...or pay! So yes, it is free to watch, but you need a lot of patience not just because you have to wait, bit because the ads…

Good content, but too many ads 😞

4★ · Google Play · 2026-09-19

Great stories but you have to pay to watch the entire episodes. Lots of ads too.

Hard to cancel

I have paid one week at 14.99 and another at $45 and still dont have access to the premium service. PLUS, you have to contact them to cancel the auto payments and they will not reapond! Beware!! The shows are good for the 5 or 6 episodes…

no way to cancel even following the cancellation steps in the help section. videos show 95 episodes but end after 20 saying coming soon. never comes.

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.
