The latest version update triggered a 0.31 star decline in the average Android rating, dropping from a 3.20 pre-update average to 2.89 stars post-release. While the resolution of external shopping redirects and recurring privacy popups represents a positive development, this is offset by severe user complaints alleging that phone number prompts trigger automatic paid subscriptions. The overall impact is negative, though the small post-update sample size of nine reviews limits definitive trend confirmation.
