Review intelligence
Medium confidenceUsers enjoy the true crime stories but many report issues with the app not working and problems with subscriptions.
Each story that I have listened to is very well Researched and interesting. I think this a great app and would highly recommend it!
App doesn’t work well at all! More than half of the time I can’t get the app to load to watch or read of the stories and I paid for a years subscription!! What do you plan to do?❓

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.
