The rating spread

Look at the bars rather than just the average. Busuu: Learn & Speak Languages scores 4.65, but the spread is 79.6% five star, 12.6% four star, 3.9% three star, 1.4% two star and 2.5% one star, across 1,243,905 ratings. That is a lopsided curve in the good direction, with the bulk of people at the top.

Count the extremes and you get 989,847 five star ratings and 31,120 one star ratings, a ratio near 32 to 1. The middle of the scale, two and three stars together, holds 5.3% of ratings (65,952 people). The listing shows 50,000,000+ installs, so the 1,243,905 ratings come from a slice of the people who installed it.

What to watch for

The listing says it contains ads and offers in-app purchases, so expect to be asked for attention or money at some point. Also, one star ratings sit at 2.5%, a modest share, though that is still 31,120 people who were unhappy enough to say so. Check the screenshots and the most recent reviews on the Play page before you rely on it.
