Unless anyone knows another reason for this impressive increase in comments? Seems to roughly coincide with Sync launching. If thats the case, just goes to show the importance of good third party apps.

EDIT: Looks like a confusingly labeled graph and I think this is total comments. I have no idea why that spike could exist though.

Top 6 app behind X (still can't get used to that stupid name) and before Facebook lite... not bad

Just call it Twitter like everyone else lol.

A. It's more convenient and clear. B. It will probably piss off Musk.

Now B is a cause I can get behind...

I like the "corporations don't get to have deadnames" take

It's currently #10 in the Google Play store, under the "social" category. (First is TikTok.)

Depends on your region. I'm in Canada and it's 6th here.

The odd thing is, their screenshot is on the play store as well, you can see the logo next to installed apps. However, when I check on my phone, it matches yours.

Like @skye pointed out, I suspect it might indeed be based on region. I remember another thread where a user reported seeing Sync rated at 3 stars, whereas others reported 5 stars.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ratings on play store are indeed localized (by region) but also by device type so it ensure that the ratings is relevant to your device (as the app experience can be extremely different on different devices running different Android version and/or Roms)

It also shows only ratings from the last of few last released versions in order to no skew the results with old versions of the app

Might be region dependent?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It doesn't even show up in that list for me. Reddit shows up after top 50. I guess the list is made based on your geographic location as well.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

And nary a hint of the Official Reddit app in that screenshot. What could've possibly happened??? Ya just hate to see it, or not see it I guess

Wow that's impressive.
