store rating, all-time

This app's complaint rate is far above the category median of 6.5%. Two different denominators, which is the whole point of this page. 4.45 stars is the average of every rating ever submitted, while 10.5% of all 475,618 ratings are 1–2 stars. Separately, we read the last 494 written reviews Apple returns for this app, so that batch is skewed toward complaints and 494 of them (100%) 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.

Too many ads
104 of 494 · 21%
vs category 8.1× median
Ad load is read as a statement about who the product is for.
Sign-in problems
29 of 494 · 6%
vs category 2.3× median
Sign-in failures block the job before it starts.
Pricing / value
22 of 494 · 4%
vs category 0.6× median
Value complaints are usually a packaging problem, not a price problem.
Read this with care. A 494-review sample carries real error bars, and 42% 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 AI companion & wellbeing

All of these are in the same category we rank against — AI companion & wellbeing. The category median is 6.5%; lower is calmer, higher is angrier. Each name links to that app's own public snapshot.
