What to look at before you choose
Many of these apps are one teacher's following
A large share of this category is built around a single well known teacher, and a lot of ratings are left by that teacher's existing audience in the first days after a launch. That can lift an average quickly without saying much about the paid courses.
The complaints cluster around exam season
Live classes and mock tests carry the heaviest load in the weeks before a major exam, and that is when crashes, video buffering and refund requests turn into one star ratings.
A three step check
Check the volume
A 4.8 from 30 ratings is a weaker signal than a 4.3 from 900.
Check the date
A business changes hands, a manager leaves, and the rating takes a year to catch up. Look at what people wrote this quarter.
Check whether anyone replied
A company that answers its worst reviews is telling you what happens when something goes wrong for you.
Questions
Do these ratings show which app gets better results?
No. A store rating reflects how people found the app to use. It does not measure selection rates, and none of the figures here come from exam results.
How often is this ranking updated?
Whenever a source's rating average is refreshed. Each entry carries its own as of date.
Can a company pay to rank higher here?
No. Placement is the GoCredible Score and nothing else. If that ever changes, the paid entries are labelled inline.
