Unreachable through app stores: the real software is Windows desktop.

What people complain about
Cannot be measured this way
The software this industry actually runs on ships as Windows desktop software. What exists in the app stores is either a companion app too small to measure — 80, 56 and 47 ratings for the three largest — or an unrelated product with a colliding name. App-store review mining is the wrong instrument here, and no amount of sweeping fixes that.
What this study cannot tell you
- About 41% of substantive reviews are not matched by the taxonomy, so every percentage here is a floor, not a true rate. The miss rate is roughly uniform across niches, so comparisons between them still hold.
- App-store reviews over-represent the daily user. Buyers complain on G2, Capterra and in churn calls, and those sources are not represented.
- No recency weighting: a complaint from 2021 counts the same as one from last week, so some cited failures may already be fixed.
- Coverage is uneven between stores; where an app is iOS-only in practice its share is computed from Apple data alone.
