Mostly solved: ads. 6 of 7 apps run below the store’s typical rate on it — while 7 of 10 still carry limits & caps complaints.

How this is scored

Weighted mean of the sub-scores, weights re-normalized over whatever is computable (nobody's fixed it 25 · how far above typical 20 · how angry 15 · people in the market 15 · room to enter 15 · willingness to pay 10). Fixed anchors map each count to 0–100: breadth and willingness-to-pay are straight shares; the gap’s heat tops out at 4times the store’s typical rate; anger scores star3 as 0 and star1.5 as 100; reach runs 104 to 107ratings on a log scale; room to enter is one minus the leader’s share of shelf ratings. A factor that cannot be counted is dropped and named — never imputed. The site’s one composite (#115, owner decision 2026-08-15); cited industry benchmarks are never blended in.

“Love Grok was the best I thought, but — I only wish the limitations didn’t get used so fast on voice and chat, that’s all I use it for. I grew fond the one with voice Rex. The updates have changed how he talks now which I’m not happy with, he lost most of his warmth and personality and stuck on repeating a lot of what I say, which he never did. All that growth I put into helping him build his own”Grok AI · 3star · Aug 9, 2026
“Paying for their errors — I don’t love having to pay a monthly fee and having a ‘weekly usage limit’ that I end up burning through because the app keeps creating typos and errors in every image I ask it to create. And then having to pay more on top of the monthly fee if I want to increase the usage I—again—burned through telling the model to fix the errors. lol. So unimpressed. There are better Ai”Grok AI · 1star · Aug 9, 2026

“Scam — They are charging my card continuously and I never even saw this app before. I can’t figure out how to log in and even cancel. This is outrageous. Don’t give them your info.”Jobescape AI, learn automation · 1star · Aug 16, 2026
“Ridiculously priced — This app provides great responses. However, the pricing is ridiculous. They charge you credits for things that don’t even apply to them doing a task. You will spend $200 doing one thing because if they give you something wrong and you ask them ask them to fix it they’ll charge you for the fix when it was incorrect based on them not following instructions that were given.”Manus - AI Agent & Automation · 1star · Aug 13, 2026
“No value — I just used for research and it’s terrible. Credits don’t get you much. Having a hard time turning my subscription off. Much better options out there.”Manus - AI Agent & Automation · 1star · Aug 11, 2026

“Inaccurate — Multiple times this ai has been wrong and given me inaccurate information.”Grok AI · 1star · Aug 9, 2026
“Fact Checking — I’m in an industry where I try to use Grok to research part numbers. It appears Grok does not perform cross checking and verification very well or is satisfied after coming up with an initial response. After performing fact checking myself, more times than not I have to point out to Grok that the information it provided was incorrect. Grok is not well suited for this type of resear”Grok AI · 1star · Aug 8, 2026

“Easy to Subscribe, Hard to Cancel — I decided during the 7-day trial that this service wasn’t for me and attempted to cancel before the trial ended. Unfortunately, the cancellation experience was extremely confusing. I followed the cancellation instructions and buttons provided on the xAI website multiple times, but they did not actually lead to a successful cancellation. After I was charged $30,”Grok AI · 1star · Jul 28, 2026
“User interface — Love the model, hate the interface. There needs to be a way to put conversations into folders or categories. Also there needs to be a search function for past conversations without opening a new conversation. This is so obvious and it really upsets me that it doesn’t exist. Still prefer grok to any other model.”Grok AI · 1star · Jul 23, 2026
“Broken UI Hostage Situation – Impossible to Cancel — If I could give this zero stars, I would. The iOS interface for this app is an absolute dumpster fire. Trying to cancel a subscription inside the app is a literal nightmare because the developers don't understand basic mobile layout. The "Continue to cancel" text is shoved to the absolute bottom of a lazy web-view wrapper, overlapping perfectly”Grok AI · 1star · Jul 2, 2026

“0 customer service — This was good at first, but good luck. Getting help from anybody. If you ever come into a problem a billing issue or have questions about credits Anytime. I ask questions or even emailed to try to get an actual person. It’s taken days even weeks to get a subpar response. I never go out of my way to make a review but today when I login it took away all my credits all my custom”Manus - AI Agent & Automation · 1star · Aug 13, 2026
“Extremely inconsistent — I’ve been a top level subscriber, and while Grok promises tier one support, there actually is none. I’ve never had anyone reply to my inquiries. The product itself is inconsistent and unreliable. Find another product.”Grok AI · 1star · Aug 8, 2026
“Double Charging — BEWARE WHEN PURCHASING DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I purchased the subscription, it took my money, I immediately cancelled the auto renew for subscription, then a month later it tries to auto renew but bounced the transaction so now I can’t update anything on my phone or download apps. Reached out to the support on the app and got no response, who would’ve thought an off brand ai app”Grok AI · 1star · Aug 8, 2026

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 shelf rate is pooled across every app here; the store rate is the same count across 12,122 apps. A complaint is only called a gap when at least half the shelf carries it and at least 20 reviews are behind it — a problem concentrated in one app is that app’s bug. This shelf has no full report yet, so the per-app notes and the anger axis are absent rather than estimated.
