Retrospective analysisAugust 17, 2026

The average rating improved by 0.64 stars following the update, despite new reports of license verification errors and data download failures. While the category rank reached 7, user sentiment remains polarized due to technical barriers preventing access to purchased features. The overall momentum is mixed as functional regressions offset the gains from new model support.
