SEE: Facebook is testing end-to-end encryption for all Messenger chats User frustration can stem from many different factors, including an app’s interface, app performance issues, and data and privacy breaches. For Facebook, it is likely that the recent bad press involving privacy concerns has affected users’ feelings towards the app. The second app on the list is the streaming service HBO Max. This app came in first for “least entertaining app” and second overall, with 38.2% of its reviews being 1-star.

For all the HBO Max users, don’t worry, a new redesign will be coming soon. Warner Bros. has announced that HBO Max and Discovery+ are merging into a single streaming service with a new app that will be out next summer, Engadget reported last month. In third place is another social media app, Snapchat, with 24% of its reviews being 1-star. The report says these ratings are likely because of the quality of Snapchat pictures on Android devices – pics might appear grainy and pixelated. Another factor is safety concerns involving location sharing via Snap Maps.
