After about 150 reviews including opinions on apps were posted, we have the first quite reliable information on how we evaluate the apps provided by Jolla. Scores are given in range of 1-5 and sorted by the average score:
| Application | Reviews | Average score |
| Clock | 153 | 4.37 |
| Settings | 159 | 4.19 |
| Calculator | 146 | 4.08 |
| Messages | 160 | 4.04 |
| Phone | 159 | 4.02 |
| People | 146 | 3.81 |
| Notes | 144 | 3.77 |
| Gallery | 160 | 3.7 |
| Calendar | 154 | 3.66 |
| Store | 159 | 3.63 |
| Camera | 160 | 3.58 |
| 158 | 3.53 | |
| Documents | 137 | 3.51 |
| Media | 140 | 3.46 |
| Browser | 161 | 3.36 |
| Maps | 148 | 3.14 |
In overall, applications reach total average score of 3.74, while the Jolla phone design, user interface and value for money are all nicely above 4. Also the display quality, and overall hardware quality are below 4 for the phone, but this might change for the tablet when it hits the markets in few months. With nice looking hardware and great resolution, user evaluations might leave the applications alone to lower the total score of the product.
What this means to Jolla: Especially low scoring apps above should be given a high priority in their iteration plans. Offering users better Maps (Navigation?), Browser (Why do we have to reload each tab?) and Media player (where's the video playing feature? What are these "Unknown artists"?) would give a great boost to the total evaluation.

These reviews should reach jolla, to get to work on improving their applications and get the maximum potential for your operating system.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment :) I'm happy to share that Jolla is reading my blog regularly, but we all hope this to advance fast, so this time I linked these results also to their community development platform TJC
Deleteis gratifying to know that there are good blogs about jolla and sailfish thanks for their efforts to keep the community informed, on the other hand I think jolla to left a little together. otherwise you could not do a little review when the 2.0 upgrade sailfish comes?
Deletethanks Greetings.
