Considerations for Using the Data

Social Impact of Dataset

With the help of this dataset one can try to understand more about software applications and what are the views and opinions of the users about them. This helps to understand more about which type of software applications are prefeered by the users and how do these applications facilitate the user to help them solve their problems and issues.

Discussion of Biases

The reviews are only for applications which are in the open-source software applications, the other sectors have not been considered here
