If you stuck around until the very end of Apple’s WWDC 2025 keynote, you caught one of the most delightfully unexpected moments of the event: a full-blown soul performance titled “6 out of 5 ⭐️”, with lyrics pulled entirely from App Store reviews.
“To the people who develop the apps we love’
Performed by singer-songwriter Allen Stone, the is Apple’s tongue-in-cheek tribute to the developers behind our favorite apps, and to the wonderfully unfiltered reviews users leave behind in the App Store.
- “Best app I’ve ever set my sorry eyes upon.”
- “If this doesn’t win best app of the year, I’ll eat a shoe.”
- “Saved my marriage.”
- “I would tattoo the Headspace logo on myself.”
Backed by Stone’s groovy piano and retro-style band, the lyrics turn throwaway review blurbs like “Two thumbs and all toes up” and “I was glued to this game like glue,” into something oddly catchy for all-time favorite apps like Gentler Streak, Flighty, Sleep Cycle, and Noted. Even Hello Kitty gets a shoutout.
Apple called the video “a little song written entirely from real App Store reviews,” and closed the keynote by dedicating the track “to the people who develop the apps we love.”
