Report: Google Removed 100,000 Negative Reviews of Robinhood App

According to a report by competitor Yahoo, Google has been accused of removing 100,000 negative reviews of stock trading app Robinhood after investors locked out of trading certain stocks to the Google Play app store to express their displeasure.  The app’s rating went from a four to one-star rating in just a few hours.

“Google has deleted at least 100,000 negative reviews from Robinhood’s app on the Google Play app store after furious users flooded the app with bad reviews that caused it to drop to a one-star rating,” Yahoo reported.

After deleting the comments, the app’s four star rating was restored. On Friday, the app’s rating fell to 3.5 stars.

The Staff Report account does not use artificial intelligence to independently generate news or publish unverified information. AI-assisted tools may occasionally be used for editorial support tasks such as transcription, formatting, grammar review, or workflow efficiency, but all published content is subject to human editorial oversight and approval by Shore News Network's newsroom staff.
