What a rating is
Two numbers sit behind every star rating: the average and the number of ratings it is the average of. A store page prints both. They are read together here because an average of a few ratings and an average of many are written the same way.
MetaTrader 4 Forex Trading — Google Play
The header of the page shows 4.6 stars from 1,024,688 ratings. The “Ratings and reviews” block shows 4.6 from 987,576; the two figures differ by 37,112 ratings and the page does not say why. Split by star: five stars 787,554 (77%), four 134,959 (13%), three 55,627 (5%), two 18,211 (2%), one 28,298 (3%). Four and five stars together are 90% of the 1,024,649 ratings split. At this count one added rating moves the average by at most 0.00000 of a star.
MetaTrader 5 — Forex, Stocks — Google Play
The header of the page shows 4.7 stars from 1,234,015 ratings. The “Ratings and reviews” block shows 4.7 from 1,199,907; the two figures differ by 34,108 ratings and the page does not say why. Split by star: five stars 1,010,145 (82%), four 148,770 (12%), three 44,855 (4%), two 10,424 (1%), one 19,795 (2%). Four and five stars together are 94% of the 1,233,989 ratings split. At this count one added rating moves the average by at most 0.00000 of a star.
MetaTrader 4 — App Store
The page shows 4.7 stars from 12,397 ratings in the South Africa storefront. Split by star: five stars 9,692 (78%), four 1,908 (15%), three 462 (4%), two 142 (1%), one 192 (2%). Four and five stars together are 94% of the 12,397 ratings split. At this count one added rating moves the average by at most 0.00040 of a star.
MetaTrader 5 — App Store
The page shows 4.7 stars from 21,915 ratings in the South Africa storefront. Split by star: five stars 18,172 (83%), four 2,527 (12%), three 627 (3%), two 188 (1%), one 401 (2%). Four and five stars together are 94% of the 21,915 ratings split. At this count one added rating moves the average by at most 0.00023 of a star.
Reading the split
Read the two outer bars first, then the middle ones; the middle three say how many people were neither delighted nor unhappy.
Where two rows differ, the table shows both and the text does not weigh them. They are different pages read on the same day.
How much weight a count carries
The largest change one more rating can make to an average is 5 divided by the count: MetaTrader 4 Forex Trading: 0.00000; MetaTrader 5 — Forex, Stocks: 0.00000; MetaTrader 4: 0.00040; MetaTrader 5: 0.00023. The smaller that number, the steadier the average.
What this page leaves out
Reviews are people's own writing, with their names, and a handful picked by a store's ordering is not a sample. They are left out; the average, the count and the five bars are the part that can be recomputed.

What this page does not cover
Only one family of facts is read here; Cost lines, Requirements, Versions and Data declarations have their own pages. The ledger also leaves out anything behind a login: identity checks, funding screens and the order ticket.
Ratings at a glance

Before you tap install
Is a higher rating better?
Rand App Costs: Not without the count. The same average rests on very different numbers of ratings.
Why are some figures printed twice?
Rand App Costs: A Google Play page prints a rating in its header and again in its ratings block, and the two can differ; both are shown.
Does the site show reviews?
Rand App Costs: No. They are other people's words.
Will the figures change?
Rand App Costs: Yes; a rating is a moving number, which is why each table carries its reading date.
A cost line is not a quote
Rand App Costs: What these pages read is the store's side: the listing. Opening a live account is a separate step with the broker, with identity checks and rules about sending money abroad that sit outside any app. Read the broker page before you decide, and do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
