HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (232 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.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

this is so wrong

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

It's a great news source! All anchors, reporters, & guests speakers are informative, intelligent, & fun/interesting to listen to. 👍🎉🙂 I do wish however, that they would bring back that black anchor lady (I'm forgetting her name right now). She was interesting to listen to! I wouldn't have deleted her from the network.
