4.56★
store rating, all-time
This app's complaint rate is around the category median of 7.4%. Two different denominators, which is the whole point of this page. 4.56 stars is the average of every rating ever submitted, while 7.4% of all 4,258 ratings are 1–2 stars. Separately, we read the last 269 written reviews Apple returns for this app, so that batch is skewed toward complaints and 166 of them (62%) are 1–2 stars. That second batch is what the category breakdown below is built on, and it is never used to compute the rate above.
Where the complaints concentrate
Every one- and two-star review in the sample is assigned to one primary category.
The three largest are below. The marker on each bar is the category median for that same
complaint type — so you are comparing yourself to the field, not to zero.

These users are not angry — they are asking for something specific.

Value complaints are usually a packaging problem, not a price problem.
Read this with care. A 269-review sample carries real error bars, and
40% of the negative reviews in this sample mapped cleanly to a known
category — the rest were too vague or too specific to classify and are excluded rather
than forced into a bucket. Treat the ranking as meaningful and small gaps as noise.
How it compares to the rest of Field service
All of these are in the same category we rank against — Field service. The category median is 7.4%; lower is calmer, higher is angrier. Each name links to that app's own public snapshot.
