Only unhappy reviewers: this counts what 1 and 2 star reviewers wrote among the 100 US App Store reviews we could read, dated 2025-08-02 to 2026-10-25 (Apple serves its review feed in patches, so this is not a random or complete sample). They are a small, self-selected group and say nothing about how most users feel. Themes are matched by keywords and one review can count under several.
