Don’t want anyone browsing the Play Store to be misled!

Iphone users, I’m assuming your version of the play store is in similar need of some upkeep.

The review comment would be a good place to pitch the fediverse, too.

Tf? It’s a horrible app. How tf did it get 4.8 stars?

App store rating (Rating: 4.8 - 2.66M votes): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reddit/id1064216828

Play store rating (Rating: 3.6 - 2.88M votes): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reddit.frontpage&hl=en_US&gl=US

TikTok and Instagram are just as highly rated despite both having quite user hostile UX.

These companies probably do something to skew reviews, like showing the rating dialog only to very active users.

I just went through the reviews it showed me since Saturday, and most of those are one and two stars. I saw a five star one that said ‘ouch my penis hurts’ and another that said ‘koolaid is good, I like the purple’. Both of those got reported.

It doesn’t show recent ratings though, but it has gone down to a 4.7 since you posted this.

How would a revanced app affect the rating? Would it read differently?

There are lots of negative reviews but have five stars attached. I don’t get it.
