## 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 + 3.6 × 722 (Reviews.io) + 4.8 × 136,974 (App Store)) ÷ (7 + 137,696) = 4.8, to one decimal place
