Reddit App has now 4.1 Stars Rating on Play Store
After the app rating was down to about 2.8 stars on Google Play Store recently, it is now at 4.1 stars. Latest ratings seem to be from September 2022 though.
Looks like they've deleted all the 1-star ratings that had been recently added.

How come they delete 1 star reviews for review bombing, but clearly 5 star bot reviews are fair game?
because the company benefits from those.
Anyone tried review bombing with 5 star reviews and scathing comments to see if their system kicks in to remove all fake 5 star reviews in the last x hours? Or is this a manual removal of reviews they do?

It seems to me like it's the US which is severely lacking in customer protections, allowing the Playstore to make deals with Reddit to fudge the ratings.
2.9 in uk. Most reviews i see are negative towards the app not the service. So i think it would be wrong for google to adjust the scores.
2.7 in Germany
Although honestly, who cares
just checked, yupp 2.7.
Not for me
Although it is higher than it used to be
It is very very important to log in to your local Play Store and mark all the reviews you consider helpful...
Peertube is quite bad. I would suggest using Newpipe until it improves, because switching over to Peertube from YouTube means you won't find almost any content anymore.
That means people will switch back to YouTube. So using Newpipe is better I believe. Even though it would be great if everyone started uploading to peertube instead. But people who make videos on YouTube seem to be doing it for the money, so not likely they will enjoy Peertube.
Yeah I tried it for a bit but I ended up seeing really low intelligence conspiracy videos.
I don't mind good conspiracies like 9/11, but there are so many really shitty ones.
Yeah exactly, same for me. But I think the easiest way to discredit all conspiracy theories is to fill the entire space with really idiotic ones.
Yeah plotting against eachother is called "politics" in business and it's called "strategy" in politics. :)
I'm surprised anyone would want to host something like peertube. Even picture hosting for randos can get expensive real fast.
3.0 is what I see. However I scrolled through hundreds of reviews sorted by "most relevant" and they were nearly all 1 star.
The ratings are region-dependent, it doesn't have a 4.1 worldwide.
2.6 even.
I see 3.0 and my 1 start review from June is still up. I see one from July 8th this year as well.
3 for me. North America.
What I find hysterical is that there seems to be more one star ratings than five stars!
2.7 stars for me, Germany as well, but with English UI.
Weird, I see 2.9 here, germany as well (Bayern)
Read a few. The 1 star ratings sound like real (obviously pissed off) people, while the 5 star ratings are as fake as it gets ("This App satisfies all my daily needs" uh... yeah)
It's a 2.7 for me here in Canada
2.4 for me in Sweden. Do I get a prize for most accurate rating so far?
This depends on region and version for your device. The rating for me is 3.0
2.9 in the UK.
3.0 USA. I just took a shit in a paperbag and lit it on fire at their doorstep. Come join and get it to a 2.2 by tomorrow!
Why does not a thrid party website exist where they are a bit realistic to ratings
Shows 3.0 for me. North America.
3.7, Portugal, Android.
4.8 on the App Store… dozens of recent comments (pretty much all) are one star, but I guess it is averaging years of ratings…
I see a 2.9, Southern U.S. with Pixel Fold.
How is the Pixel Fold? My wife is interested in getting one.
I love it. My only gripes are the inside screen not continuing on the outside when you close it, but that could be changed with android 14 or another update. And it does get a decently warm sometimes.
Ugh..4.8
App Store North America
For me it's still at 2,7*
Can confirm 2.7
For me it shows similar devices than me. (Central Europe, Samsung S10)
3.3 for me
2.7 in Australia still
2.9 for me in France
