HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (519 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Fast1%

2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ But it has been a lot of fun and really smooth to use.
★★★★★ Most of the app is fine. There's no unnecessary ads, which I really like. I think it would be helpful if there was a way to earn more turns and undos that wasn't once a day tasks or having to pay.

Found by matching words and phrases in the reviews, not read by a person. A review can count toward more than one theme.
