reputation of the app or due to personal involvement.
According to a recent study, smartphone users collectively download
approximately 250 million apps per day. Although data shows that app usage is
increasing, but customer satisfaction with different apps is decreasing. This has
driven many smartphone users into a love-hate relationship with their phones
and the applications.

and analyzed data from Twitter. The team dug deeper to find out which apps in
particular trigger most negative response from its users in different countries
and in United States.

apps based on sentiments. Although there are many factors that could give this
assessment a distorted angle (criticisms based on personal bias, the accuracy
of sentiment calculation, and app reliability), it still provides some data on
the most criticized apps. There is a wide range of such apps complained about
from around the world. The net findings are: Snapchat, Reddit, TikTok, and Facebook
all have negative mentions, Reddit getting the most negative response at least
