Geeking out
Hi,
Do certain words and phrases in app reviews have a high correlation with ranking in the App Store?
Yes indeed.
Our new App Store Favorability Index identifies mobile apps and publishers which have a disproportionate number of reviews in which these words and phrases occur.
Also, earlier this week, our compilation of Python Tools for Machine Learning was featured in Data Science Weekly.
So yeah - this part of the newsletter was basically to brag about how smart our team is :)
Cheers,
