What the analysis found

Each finding shows what agreed and how strongly. Automated analysis

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: Trial converts to a charge
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
The free trial demands a payment method up front and/or rolls into a paid subscription with no usable warning.
What we saw: Trial converts to a charge: raised by 13 distinct reviewers (2.6% of 507 reviews scanned)
Reported by users: Hard to cancel
One source onlyShown, not confirmed — the only source is user reviews.view evidence
Cancelling the subscription is blocked, hidden, multi-step, or simply does not take effect.
What we saw: Hard to cancel: raised by 10 distinct reviewers (2.0% of 507 reviews scanned)
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 27 distinct reviewers (5.3% of 507 reviews scanned)

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.

Trial converts to a charge

Terrible support for a good platform — If you have any issues at all with this platform app or website, good luck getting any help. I’ve submitted a ticket and have heard basically crickets for the last 24 hours since they said they’d…

Terrible company — I redeemed a free trial from an account I follow. The app wasn’t for me and I canceled my free trial. Fast forward to the end of my free trial and I was charged full price. First off there is no number to call to speak…

Not getting my Refund — I was given a 1-month free trial. So if you try to cancel you lose your membership. If you don't cancel they automatically charge you, but I can't get a refund on a one-month free trial.. They charge me for the…

Hard to cancel

Good luck cancelling — It’s really not that great of a product. At least not to justify paying for year after year. But you cannot cancel through rocket money, cancelling through them is confusing and if you thought you think you’ve…

Impossible to cancel — Lessons might be ok but seems like sketchy business when it’s impossible to cancel and still charging people on canceled cards.

Can’t get anyone to help me — Beware: This service uses a predatory 'subscription trap' business model. No one has been able to provide any help. To make matters worse, their 'click-to-cancel' process is intentionally buried and difficult…

Poor Business Practices — If you decide to go with SkillShare, make sure you confirm with the company that your subscription is cancelled before assuming it is. I cancelled a yearly subscription and was still charged the next year for…

There is no refund — But you can cancel at any time. But cancelling doesn't mean you can get a refund. They require a whole year up front. I want a service where I can pay month by month, cancel a month if I know I won't be able to use…

How the automated analysis works

Automated, corroborated, and never human-reviewed without a person.

This assessment is produced automatically. One independent signal is read — user reviews — and each candidate finding is filed under the source that supports 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.
