Fake App Store reviews spark developer outrage, highlighting need for enforcement
sbdude said:I can see his frustration, but he's not exacting pulling down 5 stars himself. His latest rating is a 3.4 with 709 reviews, and all the one-stars appear legitimate and have legitimate complaints, and he's responded to all the ones I saw. Perhaps if he improved his own app, achieving higher ratings, he wouldn't have to worry about competitors poaching his purchases.
These are not competing apps. These are non-functional apps that use a combination of IP theft to look like competitors (outright theft of images and videos that are by default copyrighted in the US) and fake reviews to boost the perception of user satisfaction, in order to dupe Apple's App Store customers into paying money for nothing. Adobe can afford to play whack-a-mole with these issues without needing Apple's help, but the small-shop and single-member LLC/sole-proprietor developers rely on Apple caring about all of its customers enough to enforce some semblance of legitimacy, something they are resoundingly failing at right now. -
