About the Tools.us.org score

A weighted average of the published ratings below, shown out of 10 in the header above.

How we calculate this

Each source counts by its number of ratings or reviews, capped at 1,000. Score = 2 × sum(rating × weight) ÷ sum(weights), rounded to one decimal. Inputs are published ratings out of 5; a missing source is left out, never counted as zero. A composite of published scores, not our own test.

Included: App Store 4.3 (weight 311).
