Benchmarking Trading Apps: The Review Data Spread

Finance-category review benchmarks (our tracked dataset):

• Average rating: 4.5 across the top 50 finance apps — the floor for "credible"
• Review velocity (weekly): top decile apps generate 50+ reviews/week; the median is 8
• The churn predictor: complaint themes, not volume — "crashes," "delayed," "lost money" drive uninstalls; "hard to use" doesn't
• Response rate: top apps respond to 30%+ of 1–3 star reviews; the average is under 5%

Where Stock Picks stands: 4.7 average, top-decile velocity, and a 40%+ response rate to critical reviews. The response rate is the retention signal nobody tracks.
