Roblox most hated app in 21 countries

It’s the app that is the most hated in 21 countries. But it’s not the most hated across the world.

According to a study completed by Electronics Hub, people hate Roblox more than any other app in 21 countries.

The study used a “sentiment-tracking AI tool” to determine which apps were disliked the most.

Hated more than Tinder, Reddit and Snapchat is the gaming platform Roblox.

But worldwide the most hated app is Hinge. In Australia, the most hated app is Tinder.

Roblox is an app that can be downloaded for your phone and allows users to create video games using Roblox assets.

This opens up the world of game development to a broader audience and allows creators to share their games with others.

However, it is also a gaming platform, with the majority of users simply playing games on the app.

Electronics Hub used a “sentiment-tracking AI tool” known as HuggingFace, which aggregated tweets from Twitter with a negative connotation to them to determine the “most irksome app” worldwide, reports PCGamesN

Some of the countries listed included North Korea, Ukraine, Hungary, France, and Portugal. While there is no specific reason listed why Roblox is the most hated app in those countries, Electronics Hub does list some potential reasons: a poor user interface, an overabundance of ads, glitches and the actual content on Roblox are all possibilities.

The AI, however, is limited in actual data scrutiny.

Since it’s based on Twitter posts, the tweets could potentially reflect a loud minority.

Roblox is a platform aimed at a younger audience, and young people tend to speak (or post) in a manner that may be negative.

Cultural differences could also play a part in the negativity, especially surrounding Roblox’s “pay-to-win” features. There is no way to tell, however, what the reasons are from this data alone.

The use of AI and algorithmic analysis tools to determine how a population feels about a product is nothing new — pretty much every large app or company uses a similar tool to evaluate their product (and also the competition.)

Despite being the most hated app in most countries, it surprisingly isn’t the most hated app in the world. That honour goes to Hinge, a dating app, with 34 per cent of all tweets related to Hinge being negative.
