A single test does not replace the full picture. If you have two or three apps on your shortlist, put them side by side in the comparison matrix and look at the criteria that matter for your own search.
Tests are updated when something essential changes in an app, such as prices, core features or verification. How we test and calculate is explained in the methodology.
