Summary
Android (Play Store) saw significantly higher review volume (+231% vs iOS), likely correlating with a wider user base. Both platforms report positive net sentiment (4.1–4.3 stars), though iOS reviewers are more focused on UI/UX refinement while Android users highlight system integration and resource efficiency. The login regression on iOS and permissions concern on Android warrant investigation before next release.
Recommended Actions:
- Prioritize iOS authentication hotfix (47 reviews, active complaint)
- Audit Android permissions request logic
- Restore CSV export or document workaround in FAQ
