I'm not convinced this column is of any use: it only repeats what we see 
in the other two columns but in a less obvious way.

The total / global trend however would be more useful. Something like:
Applications whose rating improved: X
Applications whose rating worsened: Y

I'm not sure more detail is pratical because there are lots of possible 
transitions: from Garbage to Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum; from 
Silver to Garbage, ... (10 total).

We could also have a count of new applications for each rating. But 
if this also counts newly added applications, then it does not say much 
about whether applications improve or not. But it would give an idea of 
the level of activity in the application database.
