I guess all possible interface he could wish is not enough 😉

Clearly he’s never tired Neutron 🤣 I’m trying to decide if he was dropped on his head too much, or not enough as a baby… clearly very intelligent. Just the kind of individual the world needs more of 🙄

What’s even funnier (sadder) is I imagine they customized the UI and then thought it was ugly…YOU MADE THAT though. You chose what was displayed & where…

What’s worse is if you are genuinely that bad at designing something you can install one of several stock or custom made themes / styles.

I wish users could reply to these reviews, a small comment section attached to each one it’d be chaos but you’d get a better idea which reviewers are making valid points & which ones ought to be seen by a healthcare professional.

I understand now why Tolriq pushes so hard for folks to leave 5 star reviews… what else is there to do?

Those are the usual very dumb people there will always be.

The real issue is all the app is not free bad ratings and the importance of ratings in Play Store. I only post a very small extract of them 😉

 ![Screenshot_20250417-120108](http://support.symfonium.app/uploads/default/original/2X/4/429460193ba5e7a241485a03e353dec7c7cc4039.png)

The app being paid means a lot less users and so a lot less positive ratings to counter them.

So yes 5 stars ratings for niche paid apps are vitals.

Always love someone projecting and doubling down on lies. I guess reading and thinking really is hard.

@Tolriq you should change the first screen to a terms and condition screen where after using the app for 7 days they owe you 10 000$ and their first born.  
With 2 options to decline or accept the terms.  
I am sure a lot of people would accept the terms after “carefully” reading them. (If child rising is too expensive just take the money)  
And each time someone writes a review to whine you can point out that they owe you money.

Researchers are fine and dandy, but finders are even better—after all, you can’t find what you haven’t read!

Exhausting …

How to loose more than a month of positive ratings to people who don’t read but still think they should shoot devs for daring to make paid apps …

Yes it have, but usually taking more than 10 seconds before shooting a dev is best …

We need a plague that targets the stupid… sadly COVID wasn’t quite that, despite having so much potential.

I guess it has something to do with this:

> **[Students who grew up with search engines might change STEM education forever](https://www.theverge.com/22684730/students-file-folder-directory-structure-education-gen-z)**
>
> Professors are struggling to teach Gen Z

tldr: young people have problems with file structures as these concepts got invented as they had physical representation. Here is a sheet of paper i do it in a folder which i store in a cabinet and the cabinet is in a room. This understanding of nesting is hard to grasp if you have never sorted paper. If you don’t have the need to sort your files as they are saved in the “app”/ cloud and you use the search to find all your files without sorting manual i can understand how these skills get lost/ never learned.

The first run wizard first question for local device is literally do you want to indicate where your music is or let Android provide the list …

The issue is the same as all the complains about app being paid without them knowing, people just no more read or think, future won’t be bright.

WHATTTTTTTTTTTT. much of this is absolutely WILD but a comparison to FOOBAR!!!

No shade to Foobar (love that app ON PC) but that’s an egregious comparison on android.

I also feel like any good product ever will implement feature sets that other similar products have…or in our case, features that users like & request.

I don’t want to pay, so I try to kill the app to prevent other users to even see the app …
