Reddit App has now 4.1 Stars Rating on Play Store

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.

2.9 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.

2.7 in Germany
Although honestly, who cares
- just checked, yupp 2.7.

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

2.7 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

2.4 for me in Sweden. Do I get a prize for most accurate rating so far?

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

Shows 3.0 for me. North America.

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.

3.3 for me

For me it's still at 2,7*

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…
