I made the mistake of switching my email address since my free email address is a privacy nightmare. eBay verified all the changes. I used it for a few weeks no problem. Suddenly I can’t sign in. It tells me I need to reset my password. Fine. So I try, then it tells

    Waste of money — I will NEVER use this garbage app again. What a complete waste of time and money. I have no idea why I even bothered selling here.They charge ridiculous amounts for shipping labels, and God forbid your package is ONE OUNCE over the limit—they’ll hit you with another ridiculous charge. You can literally end up losing more money than you make. And the customer service? Absolutely HO

    Terrible — Customer service and service in general is so unfortunate your better off on all the other selling and shopping platforms my last two orders I got a really good deal on something I bid for and the seller just didn’t even ship the item what’s the point of ordering something if a seller can just decide to not ship it and customer service isn’t simple most of the other apps you can message

Apps count as part of a market for 90 days after they last appear in it. Installs are Google Play's own count, last captured 2026-09-14. 14 of 17 apps have an Android listing we could match. A dash means we could not pair the two stores, not that the app is absent from Play. Amber marks an app that has not shipped in over 90 days, the 90th percentile across every market we hold.

How this is counted

Every number is arithmetic over the reviews we hold, re-counted weekly: nothing modelled, nothing scored. Themes come from a frozen pattern classifier rather than a model reading reviews, so the same review always lands in the same bucket. A market rate is pooled across every app here; the store rate is the same count across 13,217 apps. A complaint is only called a gap when at least half the market carries it, at least 20 reviews are behind it, and the market’s rate is elevated above the store’s, the same cutoff used everywhere on this site, because a problem concentrated in one app is that app’s bug, and a problem every app on the store shares is nobody’s gap. This market has no full report yet, so the per-app notes are absent rather than estimated. The anger axis is counted either way: mean star of the reviews carrying each theme, from the same classifier as the counts above.
