Why I don't trust app reviews from the App Store

Company App Store Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is the app store that generates the most money for app developers around the world, but it is full of problems that affect not only the user experience, but also that of the app developers.

The Apple company struggled for years to bring a little order to its store, but it never managed to make the changes that were needed so that everyone could enjoy an application store where you can discover titles that really worth the money.

Discovery

The biggest problem, by far, of the App Store is the difficulty with which new applications published in the store are discovered, those from Apple not having a clear and simple system that allows the quick visualization of new applications in an interface promoted in the vase all.

Apple has sections that list all the new applications published in a certain category, but only those who browse through the App Store and familiarize themselves with the store have the opportunity to discover these sections and see what else is published through the American store.

The birth of profiteers

Because the discovery of applications is so difficult, various services have been born all over the world that promise developers the promotion of applications in the App Store, these services being initially based on virtual robots that download applications, the Apple company managing to find a needle in the haystack their.

With the simple method of cheating the App Store blocked, these services have reoriented themselves, so they are used by ordinary people to bring the developers' applications to the top of the most downloaded applications and games in the App Store, the promotion campaigns of this kind costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.

Tricksters

With tens of thousands of dollars collected from companies that want to promote their apps, App Store fraud services trick ordinary users with app codes, iTunes Gift Cards, Amazon or Paypal vouchers to download campaign apps and leave comments for them in the App Store.

Downloading, using, and leaving comments on apps bring those apps to the top of the most downloaded or purchased apps, with App Store fraud services making tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars while ripping off the users who support them.

Those who are part of these fraud services are tricked into downloading applications and leaving comments receiving almost nothing, but those who use the App Store in their everyday life are also tricked and are fooled by the reviews left for the applications.

Over the years I have seen in the App Store charts a multitude of very stupid and very bad applications placed in front of others very popular and with good functionality, the reviews left for them being false and left only to receive a code for an application or a few points in a website.

Unfortunately, everything has led to an increase in distrust in the review system for applications in the App Store, and since I know about the existence of these fraud services, I look with different eyes at everything that people write about the not very popular applications that appear suddenly in the App Store charts.

With the reluctance I have vis-à-vis these comments, I recommend you not to trust the reviews left for little-known applications that have recently appeared in a top of the App Store and not to spend money on them because you end up finally throw the money out the window.

Unfortunately Apple has a very stupid way of managing the App Store and although it makes money, in the end we are the ones who lose time, patience and money using it.
