chances are if you were leaving a review on the app on today of all possible days, and a one star one at that, it was most likely a knee jerk reaction to the company policy change (which they were basically forced to do) and not the app, and not a thoughtful one.

The Google Play Store isn't exactly known for "thoughtful" reviews. The GPS review system is so horribly gamed by app devs that I just ignore it.

You'd do better to phrase this as a question. If you are willing to assume bad faith on an impression alone people will likely do the same for you, i just did. Phrasing as a question means you aren't making the assumption and gives op a chance to make a good faith response, which is usually more constructive.

It’s an app for trading stocks. Suddenly I can’t use it to trade stocks. One star is warranted.

  This seems a lot like giving the Amazon app one star because something was out of stock.

    But nothing was "out of stock". They just decided you can't buy?

      In effect, it was. The stock was out there, but RH didn't have the cash in the right account to move it so you could buy it. If Amazon doesn't let me buy black socks for one day, it doesn't mean there are no black socks anywhere in the world.

        That’s absolutely not what they told me in the email they sent me. Amazon doesn’t have my money in a sweep account. One star.

Say you went to a restaurant on a day when their lettuce had salmonella and a bunch of people got sick and angry and then left 1* reviews on Yelp. Would you take them all down for the same reason?
