    App Did Not Perform as Expected- Refund Request Denied — I purchased Cleaner Guru specifically to merge duplicate contacts, but the app did not perform that function as represented. It never merged the contacts and always locked up. I canceled my subscription and subsequently received an additional charge. I submitted multiple refund requests through Apple and explained the circumstances, but ea

    So far, so good — If the title of my review is “So far, so good,” you may be asking why just two stars? Because I’ve only used it for one function before it asked me for a review. And! I didn’t find out until I was going to install it that there’s a WEEKLY charge! Yes, you read that correctly… weekly! And! There was no way clearly marked to back out. Very irritating and feels like trickery. Then,

How markets are ranked

We give each market a mark out of 100 for seven things (nobody's fixed it 20 · above the norm 15 · how angry 10 · room to build 15 · room to enter 15 · getting bigger 20 · willingness to pay 5). Then we multiply the marks together. We do not average them.

Averaging lets a market hide one bad problem behind good numbers. Multiplying means one bad mark pulls the whole score down. That is the point. A market you cannot win is still a market you cannot win, however badly it is served.

Each mark has a fixed rule. Nobody’s fixed it and willingness to pay are plain shares. Above the norm maxes out at 4 times the store’s usual rate. How angry runs from star3.0 down to star1.5. Room to enter is what the biggest app does not own. Getting bigger hits 100 at 10% growth. Room to build is different. It is a sweet spot, not a size. A market can be too small to live on, or too big to break into.

If we cannot count something, we leave it out. We never guess it. The score only sorts this list. Every other number you see on a market is counted.

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 12,728 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.
