Mock interview. You're interviewing for a product analyst job on an app store team. The interviewer says: "The average star rating across the store has been sliding. Is something wrong with the store, or with some apps?" You have app_reviews (with the app_version each review was written on) and apps.

Step 1: Is it sliding?

"Show the average rating for each month of 2026 and the change from the month before."

Expected output

  • avg_rating and change rounded to 2 decimals (change empty for January); sorted by month

Example of the shape (made-up values):

month reviews avg_rating change
2026-01-01 100 4.50
2026-02-01 120 4.30 -0.20
