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 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.

Pay to progress

fun gameplay but ruined by way too many adds and no rewards for people who actually play the game. it's very much pay to win , pay to play and the packs you get are not randomized at all so it is not only a gamble but often a complete…

The game can be fun at first but becomes pay to win quickly. If you pay to remove ads, you will still get ads... Also. Often the player you control will change directions on its own... And when you switch players, sometimes they skate off…

It's pretty fun for anyone who loves 90s hockey games. I just wish there were two handed controls, as awkward as that might be playing on a small screen. The ads, while mostly elective, can be pretty annoying. Most are at least a minute…

Aggressive ad load

The amount of adds in this game makes it nearly unplayable. The actual play is pretty fun but even if you make a purchase to remove the adds it only removes the forced ads. And everything else to help progress is still locked behind…

The game starts out fun. Then you get a lot of ads. Then you start to make some progress. And then the A.I. gets turned up to an impossibly high level and it forces you to lose several games in a row to weaker teams who are 50% to 80%…

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.
