Review signals only — 3 user-reported signals — from user reviews, not yet audited by Appworthy.
Reported by users
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.
Misleading advertising
False advertising — Says you can search numbers but it doesn’t do that
False Ad — Say free however it’s not
Pay to play for $75 — I’m not paying $75 for a 7 day ‘free’ trial. Just let someone do a search. Have proof of concept, then get a subscriber. I hate this bait and switch in marketing.
Data & privacy concerns
Not Free — They lie; they say it’s free and once you verify your phone number and give them an email address they say it’s a monthly subscription. Completely ridiculous to say it’s free and then not let people use it. Feels like a scam to…
They steal info and sell it! — I went through the sign up and then got hit with the pay wall which ofc, and right after saying “free” online but then when you try to deactivate your account AFTER putting your number they tell you pretty…
More Spam — I signed up for a the premium month and as soon as I set the app up I started to get more spam calls. Clearly they are also selling your data to companies on top of receiving a monthly payment. This absolutely scum behavior…
Paywall blocks the basics
Fraudulent advertising — App says core features are free but puts you behind a paywall immediately and uses fear mongering to try to get you to subscribe.
$76/year — Used to be awesome. Now you have to pay for a $76/yr subscription to use any part of the app.
Free Version Is Basically Useless Now — Doesn’t works a bit, previously after showing an ad it would atleast identified the number but now ig they shifted to paid platform completely. Such a L move. what should be my title for app store…
What this app sells
From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.
How a review signal works
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.
A human review replaces this review-derived signal with hands-on, recorded measurements.
Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
