iLovePDF review sources, coverage and method
The overall 4.5 / 5 score is recency-weighted: newer reviews count more (weight 0.9 per month of age), regardless of portal.
| Portal | Avg. rating | Count | Weight | Latest | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Play | 4.4 / 5 | 9,383 | 75% | View profile ↗ | |
| Capterra | 4.8 / 5 | 1,513 | 12.1% | View profile ↗ | |
| Apple App Store | 4.3 / 5 | 834 | 6.7% | View profile ↗ | |
| Trustpilot | 4.9 / 5 | 787 | 6.3% | View profile ↗ | |
| Weighted overall | 4.5 / 5 | 12,517 | 100% | ||
Period covered: 2017-11 – 2026-10. Reviews older than 24 months stay in the trend charts but no longer feed the headline figures.
What this analysis cannot cover
- Only publicly visible reviews are included; nothing behind a login, and no reviews submitted to us directly.
- Sentiment is classified from the review text, never from the star rating. Unclassified reviews count toward totals but not toward sentiment shares.
What this analysis covers
- Google Play : 9,383 reviews
- Capterra : 1,513 reviews
- Apple App Store : 834 reviews
- Trustpilot : 787 reviews
Period covered: Nov 2017 – Oct 2026
And what it cannot cover:
- The App Store feed caps at about 500 reviews per country storefront.
- Trustpilot exposes roughly the 200 most recent reviews publicly; older reviews sit behind a login.
How the numbers are made
Every review is read once by a language model that labels its themes and sentiment and picks short verbatim passages. Recent reviews weigh more than old ones (each month of age discounts the weight by 10%). Quotes are shown exactly as written, linked to the original review, and cryptographically signed so you can check they have not been altered.Full methodology ↗ · Transparency report ↗
