Finding

A checkmark is not a test of scan accuracy. Where the record has coverage or notes, those sit on the app fact page.

How to use it

Read the bar as a score on a 10-point scale, then open the fact page for the price and the feature notes. A taller bar is not a store rating and not a result from a lab.

If two apps are close, use the field this note is about — the logging flag, the price line, or the dimension named in the title — instead of chasing the last tenth of a point.

Sample: 337 of 337 apps in the catalog. The newest record date in that set is 2026-11-14.

What this note will not say

Missing prices, missing feature notes, and missing scores stay unknown. This page does not turn a blank into zero and does not invent a tester panel or a measurement error.

The guide is consumer wellness information. It does not diagnose, treat, or promise a change in weight.
