**Trading and [financing](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12860/how-to-get-financing-for-salvage-title-cars) app**, Robinhood suffered a heavy loss with negative reviews in bulk on the **Google Play [App Store](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2221/apple-s-new-ad-tax-on-the-app-store-is-a-clear-jab-at-meta)**. The reinstatement was achieved last week when the Google supported the **[app](https://www.mindstick.com/news/317/39-000-games-removed-from-chinese-app-store-by-apple)** in removing half of 2, 75, 000 ratings on app store after which the sufferer ratings went 4-star.
