Negative Reviews Jumped by Up to 33.8 Points at Seven Apps in Six Months

As of 23 September 2026, seven apps stood out for how much worse their negative review share got over a six-month window, comparing the three months before to the three months after. The smallest of these swings was still 23.5 percentage points; the largest was 33.8. None of the seven is a small app by review volume — the sample sizes behind these numbers run from 339 to 951 reviews analysed, so these are not one-week blips getting mistaken for trends.

Lokal Jobs - Job search app moved the most, from a 15.9% negative share to 49.7%, a jump of 33.8 points across 667 reviews. Manchester United Official App moved less in absolute points, 29.1, but its starting point was so low, 8.6%, that its ending share of 37.7% represents a 4.4 times increase — the sharpest relative deterioration of the group. InPost Mobile ended with the highest negative share of all seven, 49.8%, nearly matching its starting point of 25.5% almost doubled, across 951 reviews.

What this measurement does and doesn't say matters here. A rising negative-review share means a growing proportion of the reviews left were negative — it doesn't by itself say why, and it doesn't distinguish a single bad update from a slow accumulation of complaints. PrepLadder for NEET PG/FMGE/SS, StardustTV - Movies & Dramas, SUGO：Voice Chat Party and GoMining: BTC Mining & Card all sit in the same worsening band, with changes between 23.5 and 27.6 points, but each is a separate app with its own users and its own reasons for the shift; the ranking groups them by size of movement, not by cause.

InPost Mobile's negative review share went from 25.5% to 49.8% — nearly one in two reviews now negative.

Manchester United's negative share is now 4.4 times what it was six months ago, from 8.6% to 37.7%.

The consistent thread is that all seven moved in the same direction and by a comparable order of magnitude within the same three-month window, which is what makes this a catalogue-level signal rather than seven unrelated stories. Whatever happened at each app happened fast enough and broadly enough to show up clearly in review data measured on 23 September 2026 — worth checking again in three months to see whether any of the seven recovered or kept sliding.
