I know Apple has many things to work on, but something that annoyed us (and many other developers) was the review system in the Appstore.
It was WIDE open so anyone could go and write 'tat' without actually purchasing and using an app.
What this meant was you had very silly people writing nonsense reviews and rating apps at 1 star. Often this would be a rival application developer or just someone who really needs to 'get out more'.
Well, now you at-least have to purchase and install the app in order to review it. As this post from Macworld points out.
Ok, it is not going to get rid of some of the stupid reviews but at least it will take a little effort to review now (and that should deter some).
Do you read reviews? We do, and love to look through apps that have got great reviews and then in amongst you'll see a 1 star 'dumb' comment. It's obvious what's going on, and hopefully obvious to the more sane public!
