Daily review count and rating drift. The blue line is cumulative review count; the dashed amber overlay is the rating on the right axis. Boring is good — sudden swings stand out against an otherwise stable curve.

What merchants complain about
“I'm pretty disappointed with Shopify POS since the so called Pos upgrade. In a nutshell I have found nothing to improve my experience with the upgrades. On top of that i'm now paying $90.00 Month more for what I had before. Costs have more than doubled people. I'm feeling shafted by Shopify. Also the live view is a waste of time. I told i have "Live Visitors" but when you click on the map it's impossible to find such a visitor, if there ever was one. I used to love This platform once. Now I'm actively looking for a better option”

Methodology
Where the numbers come from.
Ratings, review counts, pricing tiers, “Built for Shopify”, launch date, and category memberships come from the live Shopify App Store listing — refreshed daily by Ongoing.AI’s crawler. The review-count trajectory is the diff between today’s snapshot and snapshots from 7 and 28 days ago. Topic counts and sentiment come from the review corpus, topic-tagged with Claude. Install footprint is observed via Ongoing.AI’s tech-detection pass against actively-tracked Shopify storefronts. Catalog position is computed at snapshot time against every active app sharing the primary category. Snapshot generated .
