    Selection bias in app store. This is done by obscuring older reviews under the excuse of the app being a different version. You’re then creating a selection of what gets through, and this happens to usually work in favour of the apps. And it’s particularly true for Reddit app. In the past a lot of people tried it, found a clusterfuck, rated it badly and moved to other apps, never looking back. And those are the types of reviews that got buried.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if reddit apps got below 2.8. That’s just their quality level. I have used other apps for a long time, the reddit app itself (and website) are a subpar experience.
