How it compares

  • Its 8.6 rating sits in the bottom quarter of the 6,045 rated titles we track — the apps rate generously, so a number that looks high can still be near the bottom.

Ratings come from the apps themselves, not from us. They cluster between 8.6 and 9.7, which is why we show the standing rather than just the number.
