I saw how much my mother spent on Candy Crush after she passed away. It breaks my heart with a whirlwind of emotions... like whether I should be angry these apps know how to exploit human emotion, or at peace because they provided her comfort in a rough time. They're not gambling, but clearly they know how to trigger some personal & psychological investment.
This wasn't $5-10 here or there or on weekends... this was a daily pattern and with some of the larger in-app purchases. I had to sift through email receipts to get the exact amount, the Google play store also does a fine job of obscuring the spend.
