  5. Reduce ad frequency and length: 9 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.3/3. What to do: Cap ads per session, avoid unskippable video, and never show ads in the middle of a core task.

How to read this

Apple's public feed only shows recent reviews, so this is a snapshot of the last weeks or months, not the app's full history. Popular apps attract complaints in proportion to their size; the useful part is which issues repeat. Generated 22 October 2026. We have no relationship with Discord Inc..
