Store ratings include star-only taps from in-app prompts, which skew high. The peak and recent figures come only from people who wrote a review, which skews low. Compare each against itself: the drop is the signal, and a big gap between the two usually means heavy rating prompting is masking unhappy users.

This is a racket. Don't purchase

Deceitful Thieves

★ · v2.130.0 · Oct 8, 2026

Signed up for $.99 game and it charges $12.99 per week without authorization. It also does not show up on the subscription page like every other app.

Terrible App

★ · v2.129.0 · Oct 6, 2026

Went to app support after I downloaded this

★ · v2.129.0 · Oct 2, 2026

Tried over an hour to get rid of a snap so I can get back to my game. I finally downloaded it.. Because I didn’t wanna play that game but wanted to go back to the it went through the same thing all over again, so I clicked on app support – – guess what? Same thing I could never get back to my game I could never get rid of this ad - it is intrusive,

Expensive!

★ · v2.129.0 · Oct 1, 2026

I liked the games but then discovered they were charging me $13 per month! Definitely not worth that much money. Disappointing to see those expenses hit my account. Buyer beware.

Still charging my PayPal after I cancelled

★ · v2.128.0 · Sep 23, 2026

I cancelled this service two weeks ago in the app. Today I was notified by PayPal that they charged my account another $13.31! I want that money back! There is no contact info on the app account. I had deleted my app after I cancelled. How do I get this money back?

Ripoff

★ · v2.127.2 · Sep 16, 2026

A total insulting ripoff.

Scam

★ · v2.127.2 · Sep 15, 2026

I took a test, paid 99 cents and never could access the results.

Stop

★ · v2.127.2 · Sep 13, 2026

I cancelled this when I got it so stop charging my card

Trying to cancel was the real intelligence test

★★ · v2.127.2 · Sep 13, 2026

The IQ test was fun, but escaping the $12.99/week subscription was the REAL intelligence test! 😂 I took the test through a Facebook ad, NOT the App Store. I thought I paid $0.99 for my results, only to discover I’d started a 3-day trial that auto-renewed at $12.99/week. Because it was purchased through the website using Apple Pay, it didn’t appear in my Apple subscriptions. I had to contact the company directly to cancel, which they did promptly. Read that fine print!

Cancel

★ · v2.127.2 · Sep 13, 2026

I was wondering if you can tell me how I can cancel my subscription and not being charged again. Thanks

Scam

★ · v2.127.0 · Sep 2, 2026

You pay $0.99 for an IQ test and then, without authorization, they begin charging you $12.99 for a WEEKLY subscription.

Weird my singing monsters ad I came across today

Paid .99 for results I never got

Scam

★ · v2.125.0 · Aug 29, 2026

Very difficult to cancel subscription. I will be reporting the trade practices to the proper Internet trade agencies, department of commerce, FBI internet Fraud Division and DOJ

The opportunity

What would it take to build a viable competitor, what would it cost to run every month, and a prompt to get started. Generated from the reviews on file; one LLM call per brief. Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for a real brief; the stub only fills in a template.
