iPhoneography is reporting that Apple SVP Phil Schiller took action on a report by an App Store customer, who claimed that a specific developer was boosting their product’s ratings with fake reviews.
Please investigate for I have just looked at 44 of the reviewers who posted reviews for this Molinker Inc app “NightCam Pro” & EVERY Review except 2 of the 44+ are ALL FAKE 5 [star] reviews.
This is how things reportedly went down: A customer noticed that the majority of the reviews left for Moniker’s Apps were five star ratings. The customer suspected Moniker had given away their 50 allotted developer promotional codes to the masses in exchange for five star ratings in the App Store. The customer then emailed Phil Schiller and Moniker’s 1900+ apps were removed from the store.
This news suggests that Apple is listening to customer complaints, and they are actively trying to round out some of the rough edges. Lord knows, the App Store still has rough edges.
