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

As of 8/30/21, this app loads a full screen ad after about one minute. The ad cannot be cleared, despite displaying a Close button. Makes the app useless. As of 5/9/22, it seems to be fixed. In between the two dates I have no idea. I gave…

I used this app for a while, but then every single article had a popup saying I needed to purchase a subscription to access, even though there are tons of ads. I uninstalled the app today and downloaded KSDK's app instead. I don't mind…

Currently logged in but every article I choose takes me to a page telling me I must log in. If I click that link I get eternal buffering. If I go to main menu, only option is to log OUT. Frequently get pop up video ads that will not…

How a review signal works

Automated, review-derived, and always superseded by a human review.

A review signal is produced automatically from public app reviews by a classifier — never by a hands-on Appworthy test, and never by a human analyst. It exists so a real, not-yet-audited app can carry more than a blank “Not yet tested” listing, without ever being mistaken for an assessment.

A theme only appears above once at least 5 distinct reviews corroborate it — one angry review can never tag an app. These thresholds are published settings and may be tuned as coverage grows.

It carries no confirmed findings — reviews are one kind of evidence, and nothing here has been hands-on tested. The moment Appworthy publishes a full assessment of this app, it replaces this signal, permanently.

 Not yet human-reviewed

A human review replaces this review-derived signal with hands-on, recorded measurements.

Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
