4.4 stars vs 3.3 stars, Is Google Play really serious? I read through a handle of the most relevant ones, and they really painted a picture of the exchange being very bad from Frozen funds, inability of some users to verify due to the KYC docs being rejected to a nonfunctional app after an update
Google Play show a rating based on each country, that's why the result different. Not to mention if you're from a country where Poloniex's forbid, you can't access their apps.
People still use Poloniex?
They might be not the best, but few years ago where I still use it, I don't face any problem.
So you mean it wasn’t just the Op that have had this type of experience? I haven’t used the site before but if a site that I frequent should do this I definitely would have taken it has a phishing attack and put the mail on spam.
I don't know the @OP's case, but in my case Poloniex doesn't mail and force you to install their apps.
Accessing Poloniex need a code that sent to user mail, since I can't access my email, I ask them what's the way to resolve this, then they ask me to install their apps.
