    Reviews are openly gamed, and worthless. I suspect that monied interests have paid to give it low scores with their ai firms, actually indians firms.

    Because on Anrdoid at least, every app has a near perfect rating, with fake reviews written, and last I checked they didn’t even let you start at the worst first. On amazon it’s the same except they allow you to go to worst written reviews first as I recall.

    It’s openly gamed with the assent of these companies, the platform. Like one of my podcast players, leaves a lot to be desired, especially on the search function, and can’t find episodes that exist to an incredible extent. They periodically have a pop up where they ask me to review them, Give them 5 stars, a perfect rating, or do it later, there are no other options.
