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 4.6 (weight 1,000), Google Play 4.3 (weight 1,000).

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 52 that Apple's public review feed returned; the feed returns a window of reviews, not all of them.
