HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (40 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.

★★★★★Aug 31, 2026

excellent

★★★★★Aug 30, 2026

The app is poor... you have to keep deleting it and reinstalling it. More importantly, if you overpay because you cancelled with them but they continued to take your money... they won't pay you back what they took without permission.

★★★★★Aug 19, 2026

one of the better news apps out there

★★★★★Jul 28, 2026
