Retrospective analysisSeptember 24, 2026

The average rating improved by 0.46 stars following the update, though user sentiment remains polarized by monetization friction. While the library expansion and discovery improvements were implemented, reviewers increasingly cite high costs for choices and persistent stability issues as primary detractors.
