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

Store update history

Each store’s release notes, as the developer wrote them. They are the developer’s words, not ours.

App Store

Version 10.1.0 · 2026-10-06
Among the various bug fixes, we brought back the ability to share a link to an article you read in the app. Tapping the icon at the top of the article will bring up a share sheet so you can share the link via text, email, etc. We also added more robust audio controls (accessible using the "double chevron" icon on right side of the mini-player), including the frequently requested sleep timer! Tap the snooze icon, pick your time (up to 12 hours and 59 minutes), and press "Set Timer." The app will display the time at which your stream will stop, and the snooze icon will pulse while the timer is active. On top of that, we also included views of our radio schedules in the Listen tab, and we…

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.
