## App ratings (free, from review text)

Every app gets a 0–100 score from what its reviews say, not from its store stars; each page shows what people praise, what they complain about and who the app suits.

## Pulse: what app users need

Concrete needs and pains mentioned in reviews, each with a pain score from 1 to 10 (share of the category's reviews, breadth across apps, volume).

- [All needs](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse)
- [Full of fake profiles and bots](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/dating-apps--fake-profiles-bots): Likes and messages come from bots, scammers and profiles with stolen or AI-generated photos, while real people are scarce. (Dating; pain 10/10)
- [Gives wrong answers to problems](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/ai-homework-solver--wrong-answers): The app gives wrong answers to problems — for some users now and then, for others on almost every question. (AI Homework & Math Solver; pain 10/10)
- [Misidentifies plants from photos](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/plant-care--wrong-id): Photo recognition names the wrong species, gives different answers for the same plant, or fails to recognize even the most common plants (Plant care; pain 9/10)
- [The app doesn’t measure blood pressure](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/blood-pressure-log--no-bp-measure): People thought the phone itself would measure blood pressure, but the app only logs numbers from a cuff or just measures the pulse. (Blood pressure; pain 9/10)
- [Can’t withdraw my money](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/crypto-investing--withdraw): Money or crypto gets stuck on the platform: withdrawals to the bank or to one’s own wallet are blocked, rejected or pending for days or weeks. (Crypto & investing apps; pain 9/10)
- [The photos look nothing like me](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/ai-avatars-headshots--not-like-me): People upload their own photos and get portraits of strangers in which they can't recognize themselves, their kids or relatives. (AI photo; pain 9/10)
- [Shows people hundreds of miles away](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/dating-apps--far-away-profiles): The app ignores the distance setting: the feed and likes are mostly people from other states or even countries. (Dating; pain 9/10)
- [The app doesn’t measure blood sugar](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/blood-pressure-log--no-sugar-measure): Ads promised the phone could measure blood sugar, but the app only logs numbers from a glucose meter or just measures the pulse. (Blood pressure; pain 8/10)
- [Live wallpapers don’t move once set](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/wallpapers-widgets--live-wallpaper-static): Once set as the wallpaper, “live” wallpapers stay a still picture or only move while you press and hold the screen. (Wallpapers & widgets; pain 8/10)
- [Can't download or send the finished resume](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/resume-builder--export-send-fails): The download or email button does nothing, the PDF never gets generated, or the app asks you to set up email — even after paying. (Resume builders; pain 8/10)
- [Faces end up looking like someone else](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/ai-photo-restore--face-not-same-person): When enhancing or animating a photo, the AI redraws and distorts faces, so loved ones stop looking like themselves. (AI Photo Restore & Unblur; pain 8/10)
- [Enhancing barely changes the photo](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/ai-photo-restore--no-visible-improvement): A blurry or old photo comes out the same after enhancement: before and after look identical and no sharpness is added. (AI Photo Restore & Unblur; pain 8/10)
- [My companion forgets what we talked about](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/ai-companion-roleplay--memory): The character forgets names, events and the storyline — a few messages later or by the next chat — and acts as if the conversation never happened. (AI Companion & Roleplay Chat; pain 8/10)
- [The portrait doesn't look like me](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/ai-image-generation--face-likeness): The AI changes faces, hairstyles or hair color, so people in the finished photos and videos look like strangers. (AI image generation; pain 8/10)
- [Messages don’t go through](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/messaging-apps--not-delivered): Texts show as sent or delivered but never reach the recipient, or fail to send at all; incoming messages go missing too. (Messaging apps; pain 8/10)
- [My language isn't on the list](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/translator--missing-language): People ask for missing languages to be added, most often Persian, Greek, Hebrew, Tagalog, Arabic, Thai and African languages. (Translators; pain 8/10)
- [The bot keeps repeating the same lines](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/ai-companion-roleplay--repetitive-replies): The character gets stuck in a loop: it asks the same questions, repeats its own lines and gives the same answer even after regenerating. (AI Companion & Roleplay Chat; pain 8/10)
- [Log water from Apple Watch](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/water-hydration--watch-app): People want to log water straight from Apple Watch without the phone: they ask for a watch app, a watch-face complication, or a fix for the broken one. (Water & hydration; pain 8/10)
- [The bot forgets what we talked about](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/ai-chatbot--memory): The character or assistant loses the thread, forgetting names, plot events and past conversations, so people have to keep reminding it. (AI assistants; pain 8/10)
- [The sky on screen doesn't match the real one](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/astronomy-stargazing--sky-misaligned): The compass is off, so the app shows the wrong part of the sky — north instead of south, the Moon out of place — and recalibrating doesn't help. (Night sky and astronomy; pain 8/10)
- [Gets even common species wrong](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/ai-species-identifier--common-species-wrong): People test it on things they already know — a rose, aloe, basil, a crow — and it names the wrong species or recognizes nothing. (AI Species Identifier (Plant/Bug/Animal); pain 8/10)
- [It turns people of color white](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/ai-avatars-headshots--skin-tone): Skin gets lightened, noses and lips shrunk, features made European, and there are hardly any options for dark skin. (AI photo; pain 8/10)
- [Items missing from my order](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/food-delivery--missing-items): Orders arrive incomplete: some dishes, drinks or sauces are missing, and meal kits lack ingredients. (Food delivery apps; pain 8/10)
- [Ordered, but the food never came](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/food-delivery--never-arrived): The food never shows up: the order is marked delivered, the courier vanishes with it or the restaurant never got it, yet it is charged. (Food delivery apps; pain 8/10)
- [The product I need isn’t in the database](https://inapp.pro/en/pulse/cosmetics-ingredient-checker--not-in-db): People scan or look up the products they use and the app can’t find them: many are missing from the database, even the most common ones. (Cosmetic Ingredient Scanner; pain 7/10)

## Research breakdowns of app categories

Each breakdown reads a category's reviews and explains what users value and what they miss. «Interior design and floor plans» is free; the others are part of inApp Plus.

- [Research breakdowns of app categories](https://inapp.pro/en/segment)
- [Interior design and floor plans](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/interior-design) (free): How to choose the changes for your own room, check the dimensions and carry the version you like through to a purchase or a renovation.
- [Habits](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/habit-tracking): What helps you check off what you have done, come back after a miss, and use a tracker at your own pace.
- [Personal finance](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/personal-finance): How to work out what money is available now, what is already needed for payments, and what each amount is made of.
- [Calendars and tasks](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/calendars-tasks): How to turn a to-do list into a day you can actually do, agree on shared plans, and not lose a task after a reschedule or a missed reminder.
- [Notes and knowledge base](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/notes-pkm): Writing a thought down fast, finding what you need in an old archive and carrying on with the material — from lecture notes to a manuscript or the outcome of a meeting.
- [Calories and nutrition](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/nutrition-calories): Record your food, understand what is in it and keep the history — three jobs a food diary has to handle without extra work.
- [Workouts and fitness](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/workout-fitness): A good app helps you get through a specific workout: choose a plan you can do, log the sets, and pick up from that point next time.
- [Sleep trackers and alarms](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/sleep-tracking): A familiar sound before bed, an alarm you can follow and a record of rest between shifts are different jobs, and they are best not hidden behind a single sleep score.
- [Language learning](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/language-learning): Why finished lessons don’t always help you start speaking — and how to link the conversation, the explanation of the mistake and the next attempt.
- [Photo editors](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/photo-editing): Where a photo editor loses the result: in an unnoticed change to a face, in processing a series, or in saving the file. And which jobs deserve a tool of their own.
- [Travel planning](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/travel-planning): A trip plan is useful when you can act on it: find a confirmation, notice something missing and work out a change to the itinerary.
- [Menus and shopping lists](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/meal-prep-grocery): A menu pays off when it turns into a correct list and what has been bought does not get lost between phones. A look at where that path breaks.
- [Recording and transcribing speech](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/voice-recorder): Keeping the audio is only the start. A recording you can work with has to let you check the words, find the moment you need and pass the material on.
- [Focus and productivity](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/focus-productivity): Starting a session, getting distracted less and working out where the time went — three different reasons to open a focus app.
- [Plant care](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/plant-care): Recognizing a plant, remembering its care and working out what a changed leaf means are different jobs, held together by the history of one particular specimen.
- [Pet care](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/pet-care): Who has already fed the dog, where the vaccination certificate is and what to tell the vet: a useful service ties everyday care to the pet’s history.
- [Guitar: tuner and learning](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/guitar-tuner-learn): Tuning the instrument, working out a difficult change and coming back to your own song: what helps a guitarist keep practicing.
- [Document scanners](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/scanner-pdf): Capturing a document is where the work starts. After that the text has to be checked, the pages assembled, the file found and sent in the form that is needed.
- [Weather](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/weather-apps): People check the weather for a decision: whether to go for a walk, whether to move work, what to expect on the water. A useful summary starts with a place, a time and a clear question.
- [Wardrobe & outfits](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/wardrobe-outfit): A digital closet becomes useful after the clothes are uploaded: when it helps put an outfit together, plan the week and take on a trip what will actually be worn.
- [Running](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/run-tracking): Recording the whole run, hearing the cues you need and carrying on with the plan after a break — these jobs matter more than one overall pace figure.
- [Hikes and routes](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/hiking-trails): Finding a suitable trail, preparing a map that works with no network and keeping what you walked — three stages where a hiker needs different information.
- [Study flashcards](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/flashcards): A good deck starts with the right questions. After that, what matters is controlling the review and keeping your own material together with the results of your study.
- [Journaling and mood](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/journaling-mood): Writing an experience down, returning to a moment that mattered, and choosing what to share: a journal is useful when it preserves the personal meaning and control over the history.
- [Invoices for clients](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/invoice-maker): From agreed work to a balance due you can follow: where invoices save time for the person doing the work, and where they force a second set of records kept by hand.
- [Meditation and mindfulness](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/meditation-mindfulness): Finding your teacher, starting without a long selection and coming back to a familiar practice. Where a library of meditations helps, and where it demands too much attention of its own.
- [Mind maps](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/mind-mapping): From the first sketch to a set of notes or a manuscript: how to change the structure of a map, carry on with the work on another device and pass the result on.
- [Car maintenance](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/car-maintenance): Work trips, fill-ups and service: which records are worth linking, so that later you can find a gap, recall a repair or put a report together.
- [AI writing assistants](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/ai-writing): Help with writing, with correspondence and with a manuscript: where an edit removes a difficulty, and where it gives the author more work restoring the meaning.
- [Teleprompter and captions](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/teleprompter-captions): From script to finished clip: how to speak at your own pace, reshoot individual phrases and fix captions without redoing the whole recording.
- [Password managers](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/password-manager): Save a changed password, move the codes to a new phone and help a family member with shared accounts. Where access breaks off between those steps.
- [Translators](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/translator): Finishing a line, hearing the answer, reading a sign and getting the whole document. How to judge a translator by a job seen through to the end.
- [Night sky and astronomy](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/astronomy-stargazing): Identify the object overhead and prepare an evening with the telescope. What you need to know before going outside, and what helps you keep observing.
- [Resume builders](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/resume-builder): Bring an existing resume across, pick the experience that fits the job and get a readable file. Where a builder saves work, and where it makes you start again.
- [Listening to music](https://inapp.pro/en/segment/music-streaming): The queue, the library and where you stopped: why a listener needs their own choices to survive, even when they change device or music service.

## Tools

- [MCP server for AI assistants](https://inapp.pro/en/mcp): Connect inApp to Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients (OAuth): niche themes, needs, ratings and ideas as tools.
