## How the customers' Total rating is worked out

Bayesian average: 7 reviews at 3.5 stars added, so a few reviews move it less. The 7 added reviews at 3.5 stars are the weighting Trustpilot publishes for its TrustScore. With this business's figures:

(7 × 3.5 + 2 × 2 (SmartCustomer) + 4.4 × 7,186 (App Store)) ÷ (7 + 7,188) = 4.4, to one decimal place
