What Coursera's score says
Coursera holds 4.45 stars from 307,923 ratings across 10,000,000+ installs. Release Health measures something the store rating does not: whether recent builds are shipping cleanly. On that, the Android build scores 71/100 — solid foundation. A score for iOS is coming. The measurement behind that score carries too wide a margin to place it against the 2 other upskilling apps we track, so it is scored but left unranked.
How this score is calculated
Five dimensions, 100 points, all derived from public store data — the reasoning behind each is shown so any score can be retraced. Two carry 35 points each and three carry 10, in proportion to how well each predicted future problems when tested against months of reviews it had never seen.

Indented figures describe the defects behind each rate and carry no points. The score is the sum of the five rows.
Recent builds
Each build is measured over its first 14 days, so builds compare like for like. This app's own median is 48.5%. No build landed more than 12 points above it.
Method notes
- Rating trend is derived from timestamped review scores, not the store's aggregate rating.
