HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (798 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.

I'm a paid subscriber, signed in, but it keeps showing me ads to subscribe. Will not renew.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026

I take issue with the requirement for a subscription to watch the news. NBC already receives revenue from advertising. The News should be a free public service.

Ads should be enough, eliminate the paywall
