Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.

In the app package we scanned

Version 2.01 · 2026-10-10
AA Big Book has been rebuilt from the first page. - A new look, in light and dark, with the book set like a book. - Audio that follows the words. Tap a sentence to hear it from there. - Listen from the beginning, from the page you are reading, or from where you stopped. - Chapters you have read are ticked, and your place is always kept. - Notes and bookmarks as cards, each beside its sentence. - A fresh set of 19 highlight colors. - Pin the sentences you want to keep, and get a quote from the book every hour. - Prayers, meeting readings and personal stories on one shelf, now with the Yellow Card. - On iPad, pages are a comfortable column to read. - Help and support inside the app. Your…

Method and limits

What this report can and cannot show

What a missing label means

Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.

Limits of this report

  • A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
  • Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
  • Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
  • A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
