It's a biased sample because people who are fine with their app don't write reviews. The sample is polluted. My evidence can drawn from the fact that ten percent of people write reviews. A fraction of that are negative. If an occurrence happens say five out of a hundred times,that's a rare occurrence.

Hahahahaaaaa. So, the same evidence that was not good enough for you is now good enough for you. That’s hilarious! Thanks for a good laugh :) Listen, you’re dead wrong. Sorry.

I'm using your evidence to prove my point as that is a source you seem to believe.

What do you get from laughing at other people?

EDIT: Your reply has been flagged which is not something I wanted. I do have evidence, yours.

You've got no evidence and your logic regarding sample sizes is unsound.

10% is a huge sample size for any survey. Look at how it's calculated - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

or just plug in your numbers here - https://www.checkmarket.com/sample-size-calculator/

EDIT: Someone is also flagging or downvoting your comments. Not me.

Where is your evidence for anything that you’ve said? Where is your evidence that it's polluted?

I understand ten percent is a huge sample. But it's a polluted one. That's all I'm saying.

People who are fine with their apps don't write reviews. That's why the sample is polluted.

OK and all I’m saying is that you have not presented any evidence for your claim at all.

I'll use the previous statements one at a time to build a case. I'll use only the statements that you have said or accepted. Everything I'm typing, has been said before.

People who are fine with their apps don't write reviews.

Ten percent of the user base (at most) write reviews.

This includes the people who want to complain more than the people who don't.

In this ten percent a fraction of reviews are negative.

A fraction of ten percent of the total users feel negatively about the app.

This is a rare occurrence.

If you feel I've misquoted any part then I apologize.

> People who are fine with their apps don't write reviews.

This is obviously incorrect since you can see positive reviews, many of them in fact, on many apps. I myself have posted positive reviews... not sure when you thought I agreed to this.

That alone pretty much kills your whole theory. Sorry but I still don’t agree with you and I think you’re really reaching here. Most importantly though, you have presented zero evidence in favor of your claims.
