Comment on TurboTax has 4.8 stars on the App Store?

Comments

I find it very unlikely that TurboTax is beloved enough to merit 4.8 stars.

TurboTax is the most popular tax software in the US, and I imagine iOS is one of their larger platforms. I bet the majority of Americans who use it just punch in their W2(s) and 1099(s) and it just worked and they were happy with it.

I think the disdain for Intuit (which I share) is a niche concern, relative to the number of people who file their taxes. Mix that with a 5-star rating prompt after they show you that you're getting a refund (unlikely due to some tax optimization they did specifically) and you have a bunch of 5-star reviews.
