Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
After the app rating was down to about 2.8 stars on Google Play Store recently, it is now at 4.1 stars. Latest ratings seem to be from September 2022 though.
Looks like they've deleted all the 1-star ratings that had been recently added.
How come they delete 1 star reviews for review bombing, but clearly 5 star bot reviews are fair game?
because the company benefits from those.
Anyone tried review bombing with 5 star reviews and scathing comments to see if their system kicks in to remove all fake 5 star reviews in the last x hours? Or is this a manual removal of reviews they do?
Netherlands:
It seems to me like it's the US which is severely lacking in customer protections, allowing the Playstore to make deals with Reddit to fudge the ratings.
2.7 in Germany
Although honestly, who cares
just checked, yupp 2.7.
I care because I enjoy watching it burn.
2.9 in uk. Most reviews i see are negative towards the app not the service. So i think it would be wrong for google to adjust the scores.
It is very very important to log in to your local Play Store and mark all the reviews you consider helpful...
Not for me 
Although it is higher than it used to be
3.0 is what I see. However I scrolled through hundreds of reviews sorted by "most relevant" and they were nearly all 1 star.
The ratings are region-dependent, it doesn't have a 4.1 worldwide.
2.6 even.
I see 3.0 and my 1 start review from June is still up. I see one from July 8th this year as well.
3 for me. North America.
What I find hysterical is that there seems to be more one star ratings than five stars!
It's a 2.7 for me here in Canada
2.4 for me in Sweden. Do I get a prize for most accurate rating so far?
2.7 stars for me, Germany as well, but with English UI.
This depends on region and version for your device. The rating for me is 3.0
2.9 in the UK.
3.0 USA. I just took a shit in a paperbag and lit it on fire at their doorstep. Come join and get it to a 2.2 by tomorrow!
Why does not a thrid party website exist where they are a bit realistic to ratings
2.9 for me in France
Shows 3.0 for me. North America.
3.3 for me
Ugh..4.8
App Store North America
For me it's still at 2,7*
I see a 2.9, Southern U.S. with Pixel Fold.
How is the Pixel Fold? My wife is interested in getting one.
I love it. My only gripes are the inside screen not continuing on the outside when you close it, but that could be changed with android 14 or another update. And it does get a decently warm sometimes.
For me it shows similar devices than me. (Central Europe, Samsung S10)
3.7, Portugal, Android.
4.8 on the App Store… dozens of recent comments (pretty much all) are one star, but I guess it is averaging years of ratings…
2.7 in Australia still
