What a description is

The description is the one place where the developer chooses the words. Counting a few plain words in it, and quoting its opening line, shows what each listing puts first without any interpretation.

Reading the quotations

Where a listing's description is empty or very short, the page says so instead of padding it.

Differences between rows are shown, not explained; the stores' pages say nothing about why two listings differ, and neither does this one.

Listings that did not answer

Not every address read answered with a page. In the Pakistan view, the Google Play address for net.metaquotes.metatrader4 (answer: 404). A listing that does not answer is reported as not found in that view and is left out of the tables of figures; it says nothing about whether the app exists in another country or on another store.

Reader questions

Before you tap install

Does the store check the description?

The pages do not say that it does; it is the developer's text.

Why count words?

A count can be repeated by anyone with Ctrl+F; an impression cannot.

Do the counts say what an app can do?

No. They say what its description mentions.

The trading account

A description is not a demonstration

What these pages read is the store's side: the listing. Opening a live account is a separate step with the broker, with identity checks and rules about sending money abroad that sit outside any app. Read the broker page before you decide, and do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
