Ratings
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, 31K 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 4.5 (weight 1,000), Google Play 4.5 (weight 1,000).
What users say
Summary of 50 App Store reviews, 10 Oct 2026 to 22 Oct 2026 (counted from the reviews)
Reviewers who like the app mention enjoyment of the app and recommendations to others. Reviewers who complain mention subscription cost and paywalled features and bugs, crashes and features that stop working.
Top praises
- Enjoyment of the app and recommendations to othersmentioned in 5 of 50 reviews
Top complaints
- Subscription cost and paywalled featuresmentioned in 16 of 50 reviews
- Bugs, crashes and features that stop workingmentioned in 4 of 50 reviews
Best suited to: People who value enjoyment of the app and recommendations to others.
How it is counted: fixed keyword rules read each review's text, and no model writes the claims. A review counts once per theme and can mention several. Praise is counted in reviews rated 4 or 5 stars, complaints in reviews rated 1 or 2 stars. The reviews are the 50 that Apple's public review feed returned; the feed returns a window of reviews, not all of them.
