How is "most helpful" determined in each apps Reviews sort field In the App store? I use this field to help make decisions. I like to see how buyers feel about their purchases. But, as a buyer, I've never been asked which review I consider most helpful.
I'm finding some really poor apps with high ratings. Help, please! If this has already been answered, I was directed to begin a new discussion. Thanks!
iPad, iOS 4
I just double checked the forum I'm in. You are correct, considering I'm in the wrong forum if I want the correct answer to my question. I should have emphasized "on my iPad" and some nice soul would have told me to go somewhere else. Then you wouldn't have gone to all that work. Thanks.
If anyone has an answer that relates to the App Store for devices, it would be nice. Using stats from the Mac app stores doesn't seem appropriate for device app purchasers since you are speaking to a separate audience. Thanks again.
Yep, it is not in the App Store when I use my iPad. And most buyers ...probably...are buying from their devices. This is why I thought it was Apple's question to answer. I could not see how users could help but am willing to try. Plus, i get to "meet" other users and find out how willing they are to help. Thank you AND
My original question still is waiting for an answer!
I'm replying to my own question. I am in the wrong forum. I'm using an iPad and the App Store I've referred to is not the online App Store for computer users. I'm going to try the appropriate forum. Sorry for the intrusion into this forum. You needn't read any further if you are a device user and looking for this answer. :)
The "Was this review helpful" button is only available in the itunes application or mac app store on a computer.
And Don't worry I love helping people.
Yes, most people download from there iOS device. But there are over 1,000,000 who Do it from there computer.
In the itunes store.
The more people click the helpful button in itunes or the mac app store the higher it goes in the list until it gets to the most helpful.
Good. That seems easy but I don't remember seeing that choice. I know I appear downright .....whatever...... Where is it? It would have to be associated with each review. Going back to look.
