It might look like it from 100,000 foot view, however a bottom's up approach would show that there are millions, if not tens of millions, of people quite aware of Robinhood's shenanigans and are pissed off about it - enough to leave a review.

WSB has over 5 million subscribers right now (up 1 million from yesterday alone) and some threads get over 100,000 comments on a single thread. I don't find it hard to believe that a 100k Android users got angry enough with Robinhood to leave a negative review.

There are over 5 million subscribers to /r/wallstreetbets as of right now. The majority of them joined this week. 2% of them voting on the app doesn't sound like bot spam to me.

Yesterday at 290 000+ reviews : https://web.archive.org/web/20210128171659/https://play.goog...

four hours ago at 180K : https://web.archive.org/web/20210129002353/https://play.goog...

And now at 178K reviews https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.robinhood....

With more than 100k review in a day, Google must detected them as fake reviews by default.

Something like 50% of RH users had $GME positions.

100k is probably on the low side of angry users right now...

Legit reviews and bot spam both sound like plausible explanations. I'm sure Google has the server logs to figure that out with reasonable certainty, but unfortunately we don't.

Well, the one I left was legit.

I have no screenshot, but:

Right now, the link shows 4 stars and 180,526 reviews. Few hours ago, when I became aware that /r/wallstreetbets are talking about Robing Hood's app, I took a look at that same page out of curiosity. It clocked around 250,000 reviews, with overall rating of 1 star.

Verge has confirmed: https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/28/22255245/google-deleting-...

I can tell you I saw it at ~300k reviews and a 1* rating today.

Might have something to do with them preventing their users from buying today to save their hedge fund masters, no?
