About these reviews: Public Google Play reviews of Kuda's app: the newest 588 reviews of any rating, plus 417 more of the newest 1 and 2 star reviews (1,005 in all; 1,000 kept after cleaning, and all 1,000 were read). Weeks before the newest stretch hold only 1 and 2 star reviews. Kuda is not a ClientClue customer and did not take part; these are its public reviews, named for transparency. Reviewers' names and personal details are hidden, and so are other companies named inside a review. They are not support tickets. The counts show what reviewers wrote, not ClientClue's view of the company's service. About these case studies
