    I usually rate one star when an app I'm using tries to force me to review when I'm in the middle of trying to use it.

    I'm not so certain it's a majority. I think growing up wealthy and not working has a profound effect on people. It isolates you from the majority of the population, and removes any…

    I just got an iPhone for the first time after many years of Android. I was sick of the Android versions of most popular apps being much worse/buggier than their iOS counterpart. It…
