Etsy: Shop from Real People

What it is

Shop a global marketplace of one-of-a-kind finds. Home goods, clothing, & more. That is how Etsy, Inc pitches Etsy: Shop from Real People on Google Play, where it sits in the Shopping category and carries a content rating of Teen.

What the listing says

It also states that “Shop Etsy, your global marketplace for original items made, handpicked, and designed by real people for all budgets”. Another line from the listing: “Explore everything from vintage treasures and trending style pieces to personalized jewelry and custom home decor”. The listing goes on to say “Get online shopping offers and deals on one-of-a-kind items from small shops, chat with Etsy sellers, track your orders, and more”. One more point the description makes: “Every piece comes from an independent seller”.

The description says: “Support your local small shops by shopping one-of-a-kind finds from real people, the kind of pieces you won’t find on a big-box shelf”. In the developer’s words, “From clothes shopping for summer, to prepping the perfect patio decor, Etsy has you covered”. It also states that “Discover Handmade, One-of-a-Kind Finds”. All of this comes from the store listing, so read it as the developer’s own pitch.

Where it falls short

One star ratings sit at 1.0%, a modest share, though that is still 21,893 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.

The rating spread

The average is 4.85 out of 5 from 2,201,990 ratings. Five stars account for 90.1%, four for 7.2%, three for 1.4%, two for 0.4% and one for 1.0%. That is a lopsided curve in the good direction, with the bulk of people at the top.

Count the extremes and you get 1,983,387 five star ratings and 21,893 one star ratings, a ratio near 91 to 1. The middle of the scale, two and three stars together, holds 1.8% of ratings (38,651 people). The listing shows 50,000,000+ installs, so the 2,201,990 ratings come from a slice of the people who installed it.
