Method and limits
Reviews were collected once from Apple's public customer-reviews feed (most recent first; UK storefront first, then the other English-language storefronts (Canada, Australia, India, UK, Ireland, US, New Zealand), 3 with reviews; up to 300 reviews). Star, month and version figures are plain counts of that sample. Theme and issue figures come from fixed keyword patterns (for example “subscription”, “charged”, “refund” for pricing) run on English-language 1–3★ reviews only; a keyword match is not a judgement of the review, so check the quotes. The paid report classifies every review with an AI model into 7 themes and 18 issues with severity. This is a snapshot of recent reviews, not the app's full history. Generated 24 October 2026.
