Disable Comments & Delete All CommentsSupport response has slowed you down
Apps with average ratings above 4.7★ on substantial review volume (5K+) usually correlate with strong support-response baselines — public review pressure rewards timely, transparent help. Read the most recent reviews on each alternative's profile before switching; review velocity over the trailing 30 days is the freshest support-quality signal.
