Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

What users say about Snapchat
From the 200 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Users are highly dissatisfied with aggressive monetization strategies, including paywalls for storage and filters, as well as intrusive ad placements that disrupt navigation.

Mixed (44% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for being fun, and working reliably. The main complaints are about ads, and login and account problems.
What people like
