About the Tools.us.org score
A weighted average of the published ratings below, shown out of 10 in the header above.
Based on 2 sources, 3,124 ratings.
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 4.7 (weight 514), Google Play 4.2 (weight 1,000).
