Crickets!
A course of crickets intrigued our dinner party guests and we were able to use acoustic math and a the decibel level ~40dB provided by Decibel X to estimate their distance, 500-1000 feet away, about the distance of the nearby trees. Mystery solved. Five stars.

You can’t do anything without paying.
Just charge for the app instead of the bait and switch.

Questions this record can answer

How was every figure on this page produced?

Each figure is read from public App Store metadata or computed from it, dated to when we read it, and traceable to a stored row. Percentiles, cadence, longevity and sentiment are derived by us; ratings, prices, sizes and dates are taken as the store reports them.

Why can the star average and recent opinion disagree?

The star average is cumulative over the app’s whole life, so recent opinion barely moves it. Any sentiment figure we compute reads only recent review text, which is why it turns first. Treat a divergence as an early indicator, not a verdict.

What can this page not tell you?

Downloads, revenue, active users, subscription pricing inside the app, and anything about security or data handling. None of those are visible in public store metadata, so we do not estimate them.
